A breach of such critical ERP applications can lead to unexpected downtime, increased compliance risk, diminished brand confidence and project delays.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What is the root of the security problems?  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.comparethecloud.net\/articles\/7-common-erp-system-security-problems-safety-steps\/\">ERP security issues<\/a> are often caused by the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Delayed updates.<\/strong>  87 percent of ERP systems are not running with the most recent patches and updates.<\/li><li><strong>Improper Access Rights<\/strong>. Properly setting access rights, who has permission to see which data, can be complex and can lead to security issues.<\/li><li><strong>Training.<\/strong>  Security training specific to the ERP software may be lacking, resulting in unintended system security lapses.<\/li><li><strong>Leaky Integrations<\/strong>.  Often ERP systems are integrated with other software applications or downloaded for use in spreadsheets.  The other systems may not have security in place to protect the data.<\/li><li><strong>Lax Passwords.<\/strong> Single factor authentication passwords can often be easy to hack.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The compromise of ERP data should be troubling.  Larry Harrington, former Chairman of the Global Board of the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA), said that &#8220;most concerning is the popularity of sales, financial data and PII, all of which should raise flags about the possibility of insider trading, collusion and fraud.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"lightsocial_container\"><div class=\"lightsocial_element\"><a class=\"lightsocial_a\"
