ISACA Podcast

You’re listening to Secure Your Privates™ brought to you by ISACA Podcasts - where security meets privacy, risk meets reality, and governance finally makes sense. We’re here to cut through the noise and get real about what’s actually happening in cyber. The no-BS podcast on security and privacy. We talk about what’s broken, what’s working, and what nobody’s telling you in between.

In this ISACA Podcast episode, host Safia Kazi, Principal Research Analyst – Privacy, is joined by Dirk Schrader, VP of Security Research at Netwrix, to discuss how generative AI is revealing long-standing gaps in enterprise data security and governance.

This episode builds on insights from a recent ISACA webinar that explored how generative AI is exposing weaknesses in enterprise data security and governance. The discussion examines why many organizations lack visibility into where sensitive data resides and who can access it, particularly across hybrid and cloud environments. The conversation also addresses emerging risks introduced by AI tools, including non-human access and overexposed data. Listeners will gain practical, governance-focused guidance on how DSPM helps organizations assess risk, support compliance, and prepare data responsibly for AI initiatives.

SAP systems are treated differently than many other enterprise applications from a cybersecurity perspective. Most SAP security teams are siloed and left to meet security objectives on their own. Since SAP is so integral to organizations, it is unusual for SAP security objectives to not be on the radar of an existing 24/7 cybersecurity team executing response actions for Linux or Microsoft environments.

SAP systems are treated differently than many other enterprise applications from a cybersecurity perspective. Most SAP security teams are siloed and left to meet security objectives on their own. Since SAP is so integral to organizations, it is unusual for SAP security objectives to not be on the radar of an existing 24/7 cybersecurity team executing response actions for Linux or Microsoft environments. SAP teams must be integrated with other cybersecurity groups within an organization to empower them with a security approach that unifies the entire enterprise landscape.

A chief information security officer (CISO) has many priorities, but when it comes to SAP environments, CISOs must fully understand how SAP applies to the IT enterprise and organizational environment to help them achieve all security goals. In addition, CISOs need to know their SAP team members personally so they can integrate them rather than contain them in silos. Finally, SAP must be secured to the same degree as other enterprise applications. When there is a Linux, Microsoft, or even a hybrid cloud incident, cybersecurity teams have a detailed plan of action upon which they are ready to act. SAP requires high-level consideration, or critical elements of the business will be vulnerable to malicious cyber actors—with no apparent response.
