AI & Enterprise Apps: Securing SAP in the AI Age

AI is rapidly changing how organizations operate, but it's also creating new security risks for enterprise applications. Nearly 90% of organizations now use AI for at least one business function, up from 78% last year. What's interesting is that while AI boosts efficiency and speeds up digital transformation, it also introduces vulnerabilities. This is especially true for systems like SAP, which 99 of the world’s 100 largest companies use. Boards and CEOs are pushing for more AI, but often overlook the security implications. AI-generated code can accelerate output, but it can also lead to more security flaws. Cyberattacks against SAP applications were already at a record high, even before AI became so widespread. Research shows a 210% increase in the active exploitation of SAP vulnerabilities from 2024 to 2025. The bottom line is that Chief Information Security Officers need to quickly strengthen their defenses to keep pace with AI innovation.
