Most standard ERP systems use unencrypted communications and username and passwords are often entered unencrypted. At the same time, critical data on the network is unencrypted and as a result logins and data are easy to attack.
This is mainly through Man-in-the-Middle-attacks, unauthorized modification and unauthenticated senders causing lack of authenticity, data integrity and no proof of origin. As a result, internal compliance to standards and policies are not met and, worse still, this leads to inadequate security.
You must also protect data against internal and external attacks and fulfill legal requirements with regard to FDA, Sarbanes Oxley, Basel II and /or MiFID.
TrustAlert has developed a solution to secure ERP systems by using a unique client-side certificate technology and providing increased security and compliance without expensive PKI solutions. We do this by ensuring the integrity of network traffic, proof of origin of network traffic and confidentiality of network traffic, through the use of X.509 certificates.
A governmental institution recently decided to secure their ERP system using the TrustAlert solution. For more information please visit our Reference Cases.
