‘Smooth Sailing’ Fallacy in ERP Security
This smooth-sailing fallacy in IS Security arises when we mistake a measure for reality. Competent management always looks deeper than the numbers, deeper than the current measures. Incompetent management just focuses on the metrics that are based on past reality. And that’s how we get into these troubles. We really have to think about the redesign ERP and SAP security & its measurement. This lesson is fundamental: you cannot manage by just looking at the results meter. You have to have a big picture view of Security by applying constant changes in security protocols and metrics. That means your Security policy which may be 5 years old is useless and you have no security in place.
