Addressing Cybersecurity Issues in ERP Systems – Emerging Trends

Abstract

The integration of emerging technologies in Enterprise Resource Planning systems has the potential to enhance security, automation, decision-making, and predictive capabilities. However, this also introduces new cybersecurity challenges, as the systems may become targets for malicious attacks or data breaches. Understanding the nexus between organizational systems, artificial intelligence (AI), and cyber-security requirements, offers new insights for the modern business environment. Our study begins with an exploration of recent cases of AI-enhanced cybersecurity tools implemented within organizational information systems, as these currently stand. This research landscape is our starting point for an analysis of the impact of these tools on different types of systems, of the cyber risks reported in recent literature, and the configuration of cyber-security solutions tailored after current vulnerabilities of the business environment. We also identify trends and gaps in the existing research that suggest possible new topics for further investigation.
