In 2021, amongst a sea of security threats, organizations must adopt proactive, dynamic ERP data
security strategies to overcome the shortcomings of reactive security controls. This is precisely why
Appsian Security works with hundreds of legacy ERP customers who have been using applications like
PeopleSoft, Oracle EBS, and SAP for decades.
The Appsian Security Platform (ASP) combines sophisticated controls to strengthen authentication,
dynamically control user access, limit the exposure of sensitive data, and provide granular visibility into
ERP data access and usage. ASP installs directly into the ERP web server without adding
customizations, hardware, or complexity and provides:
• Granular Visibility and Real-Time Analytics: Sophisticated logging captures granular user
activity, while data access and usage data are aggregated and visualized on actionable
dashboards – designed to quickly uncover potential threats and enable a rapid response.
• Fine-Grained, Dynamic Access Controls and Data Security: Native integration of enterprise
IAM solutions like SSO and MFA for dynamic user authentication. Enhance existing static controls
with dynamic, attribute-based access controls that enable best practices like least privilege and
zero trust. Lastly, expand the use of dynamic, policy-based data masking across all desired data
fields with one-to-many implementation.
• Automate and Accelerate Audit and Compliance: Analyze deviations in user behavior and
uncover potentially damaging data policy violations. Leverage pre-built compliance reports for
SOX, GDPR, CCPA, among others, to help ease the audit response for complex regulatory
requirements.
The Appsian Security Platform is a sophisticated web application firewall with multiple features working
simultaneously to provide a comprehensive solution for filling the data security gaps of legacy ERP
applications. All, without adding complexity to your IT and information security organizations.
Key customer benefits include helping legacy ERP customers:
• Secure Access Beyond the Firewall
Use dynamic, risk-aware controls to allow or restrict access to data based on context.
• Mitigate Business Process Risks
Deploy fine-grained controls inside sensitive business transactions that reduce your financial risk
exposure.
• Modernize Legacy ERP Security & Compliance
Legacy ERP applications that cannot combat advanced threats.
• Rapid Threat Detection & Response
Have a real-time, granular view into data access & usage. Be proactively alerted to anomalies
that can lead to data breaches, fraud, theft, and error.
Appsian Security was formed over a decade ago by core team members of the PeopleSoft corporate
