DeltaGRiC Consulting, the only consultancy within the SAP Africa Ecosystem focused on helping African businesses running on SAP have a secured SAP landscape, just recently completed the first ever SAP cyber security project on the continent of Africa, at the Royal Swaziland Sugar Corporation (RSSC).
The aim of the project as was to critically examine the SAP landscape of the RSSC from a vulnerability assessment point of view, look into the existing configuration, privileges and rights of users within the landscape, as well as the custom programs (Z-programs) in order to identify loopholes that could potentially permit insider and external attacks on the SAP landscape.
"We recognise that keeping a secure cyber security posture on our SAP Application landscape goes a long way to helping us build an organisation that is healthy and works for the benefit of all stakeholders, partners, shareholders and employees alike," says the Infrastructure Manager at RSSC.
This will be the first time on the continent of Africa that a SAP-centric cyber security project is delivered. It was delivered on budget and on time by duo team members of DeltaGRiC Consulting and ERPScan (a global leading firm in SAP pen testing, SAP vulnerability assessments and detecting of zero-day vulnerabilities). The combination of the team gave a dynamic approach to the execution of the project using the industry's most respected and multi-award-winning tool - ERPScan Monitoring Security tool, and a project management methodology that gave room for flexible yet firm delivery.
"Generally, cyber threats on IT landscapes have become a boardroom topic and something to be discussed from a strategic approach. At RSSC, we make it a point of duty to take all the necessary security measures that needed to be taken on our SAP landscape as per SAP recommendations, hence the implementation of this cyber security project came through at the right time to show us what we could do better and how to maintain a more formidable SAP landscape," said the RSSC CIO.
