News < Back Sarbanes Oxley : Technology : ERP Security Auditing for SAP Platform
?A large number of our customers have rated unauthorized access to critical information as their top concern,? said Bruce Schneier, Counterpane Chief Technology Officer. ?The lack of stronger software security being built into applications put enterprises in a reactive mode. Enterprises need to understand that network and application security are business risk ? we?re seeing corporations suffering financial loss due to application security breaches.? In a recently published 2006 CSI/FBI Computer Crime and Security Survey, unauthorized access to information ?continues to be the second-greatest source of financial loss.? It also indicates nearly 40 percent of the respondents attributing more than 20 percent of their organization?s losses to insider threats. Counterpane?s integrated application monitoring and auditing solution is designed to reinforce enterprises? defense against insider theft and application-level attacks. Leveraging its technological innovations (for example, the universal normalization of differing platform attributes), Counterpane captures, normalizes, and securely transfers all log-in/log-out and failed log-in transaction codes to its Security Operations Centers (SOCs), where logs are analyzed and stored, and threats are alerted. More important is Counterpane?s ability to customize its logic to monitor transactions within the SAP applications. While simpler products/services collect and store application-level event logs, Counterpane?s integrated solution is far more extensive. Customers can elect to perform cross-platform and cross-vendor correlation, in real time, for every normalized message and from every supported platform available in Socrates, Counterpane's global correlation and analysis engine. Advanced Socrates correlation is used to detect specific compliance related event sequence, which is determined by out-of-the-box pre-configured rules that are customizable to meet individual customers? specified compliance monitoring and reporting requirements. The solution is augmented with Counterpane?s 24x7 real-time monitoring, analysis, alerting, and reporting by skilled security analysts, all of which are backed by service level agreements with simple, unambiguous penalty language. "The 12 million SAP users -- 34 thousand SAP customers worldwide -- can now leverage Counterpane?s leading data security solution for strengthened defense against targeted application-level attacks and improved compliance,? said Doug Howard, Counterpane?s Chief Operating Officer. ?What sets us apart, on top of skilled security professionals and compliance best-practice framework, is incremental innovations built on the foundation of our proven correlation engine.
