Definition and Purpose

An Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is integrated software that helps organizations manage and streamline core business processes such as finance, supply chain, human resources, and operations within a single platform. The purpose is to improve efficiency, data accuracy, and decision-making by providing real-time visibility across departments and centralizing data and workflows.

ERP Meets Cybersecurity

As ERP systems centralize critical business functions and sensitive data across departments, they become high-value targets for cyber threats. Integrating robust cybersecurity solutions, such as identity and access management, multi-factor authentication, and endpoint protection, helps ensure that only authorized users can access ERP platforms. Solutions like GateKeeper can further enhance ERP security by providing proximity-based, password-free login and automatic session locking, reducing the risk of credential misuse, unauthorized access, and data breaches while maintaining operational efficiency.
