Deloitte and Onapsis Form Strategic Alliance to Help Shared Clients Secure SAP S/4HANA Cloud®, RISE with SAP® and Cloud ERP Digital Transformations.

Cyberattacks on utility companies are increasingly targeting vulnerabilities in SAP applications, posing significant financial and operational risks, with the average cost of a data breach reaching $4.72 million. The energy sector, with its sensitive enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems like SAP, is particularly attractive to cybercriminals. Despite this, many utility companies struggle to allocate adequate resources for security, especially amid ongoing digital transformation efforts. The consequences of such attacks can be severe, leading to business disruptions, power or water outages, and the theft of customer data. To address these challenges, Onapsis, a leader in business application security, has partnered with Snohomish County Public Utility District (SNOPUD) to enhance SAP security through its Connect Up initiative, aimed at upgrading meters across homes and businesses. This collaboration leverages Onapsis' threat intelligence and automated vulnerability remediation to safeguard SNOPUD's critical systems and customer data, supporting a security-first approach as the utility modernizes its operations.
