However, the topic of cyber security is being neglected. This was confirmed by 73% of the IT decision-makers surveyed in Germany in a recent study by CyberArk. Companies give different reasons for not investing in security. Common statements are: \"We are already protected enough, for example by perimeter protection\"; \"What should happen? We're too small and therefore not interesting for hackers.\"; \"Nothing has happened yet.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These assessments do not do justice to the current IT security situation. Companies should therefore pursue an identity-based security strategy that takes all users, systems, applications and processes into account. Important aspects here are Zero Trust, Least Privilege and MFA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Utopia or reality?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bundesverband Digitale Wirtschaft (BVDW) e.

In addition, the BVDW's Metaverse department has formulated demands for politics and business in order to achieve a pioneering role for Germany in Web 3.0. According to the BVDW, one thing is needed above all to make the ultimate vision of the metaverse as a decentralized, interoperable and stable ecosystem a reality in Germany: a sensible and functioning digital infrastructure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the department's demands is therefore clear: if Germany wants to play a pioneering role in the metaverse, politicians must quickly provide the necessary infrastructure.

This is the result of a study by Couchbase, according to which companies spend an average of more than 33 million US dollars per year on cloud services. They could save around 8.75 million dollars of this if cloud providers could solve the challenges faced by users or at least meet their expectations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than a third (36%) of companies stated that the cloud services introduced in the past three years have not met expectations. Around 56 percent said that previous cloud decisions had made their digital transformation more difficult, while 48 percent complained of higher costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">US chemical company changes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The globally active American chemical group Celanese has converted its entire production and warehouse logistics at its Forli site in Italy to SAP. The Italian subsidiary of CNT Management Consulting was the partner responsible for the project. The listed US company operates the largest European compounding center for chemical and pharmaceutical products in Forli (near Ravenna). Due to its strong growth, it was necessary to digitalize the entire project management. This affected all processes in production and in the warehouse, some of which were previously still handled manually and often on paper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/photo2_800.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-118322\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/photo2_800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/photo2_800-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/photo2_800-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/photo2_800-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/photo2_800-640x426.jpg 640w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/photo2_800-720x480.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption><em>The Celanese site in Forli, Italy, is now equipped with a new SAP system.

The high popularity of ransomware is not particularly surprising: very few hackers are politically motivated or want to cause damage just for the sake of it. They want to make a quick buck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With ransomware, they have a relatively easy-to-use tool that promises them a good chance of success.

More and more operators of networked production facilities, hospitals or other \"smart\" infrastructures are looking for alternatives to public 5G networks and hope that private 5G networks will provide better coverage, control, low latency and a higher level of security. However, such environments have a number of security requirements that traditional IT and OT environments do not have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Above all, the disclosure of data (31%) that is transmitted via the private wireless network is seen as the biggest challenge. Another challenge for security projects will be that only 23% of respondents expect private 5G security to be fully integrated with existing OT security.

The range of solutions includes the SAP-integrated contract management software cuContract, which has been awarded the BMEnet seal of approval for the seventh time in a row. The solution fulfilled 100 percent of all mandatory and optional test criteria as part of the BMEnet test procedure. cuContract helps users to keep their contracts, contract-related documents, deadlines and time limits under control throughout the entire life cycle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From contract creation to archiving, users therefore maintain an overview and always remain compliant. In addition, the deadline agent monitors the contract terms and reminds users in good time to terminate a contract or renegotiate the terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"564\" src=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/LR6-4_800.jpg\" alt=\"Stefan Heins, Circle Unlimited\" class=\"wp-image-118329\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/LR6-4_800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/LR6-4_800-768x541.jpg 768w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/LR6-4_800-100x71.jpg 100w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/LR6-4_800-480x338.jpg 480w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/LR6-4_800-640x451.jpg 640w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/LR6-4_800-720x508.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>We are constantly working to ensure that our customers remain satisfied and that contract management meets all criteria. <\/em>\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">Stefan Heins, Managing Director, Circle Unlimited<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Increasing threats<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Trend Micro was able to block over 33.6 million email threats in cloud-based systems in 2021.

This is made possible by the expertise of Vienna-based SAP consultant CNT Management Consulting, which has been supporting the transformation process since 2021. The central challenge of the SAP project was to address the special features of the special machine manufacturer. To do this, the CNT team first had to understand the complex and often very individual process from initial customer contact to internal project completion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another requirement was to provide the project managers with a tool for commercial project management in order to ensure ongoing budget and cost control over the entire duration of the project. This was achieved by incorporating the SAP modules PS and the ProSolution add-on ProCosting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Certified for S\/4<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>ZetVisions' multi-domain master data management software SPoT ERP (Release 4.1) has been certified by SAP for the current S\/4 Hana 2021 release.
