ERP/Application security involves safeguarding enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and applications from unauthorized access, data breaches, and other security threats. It encompasses various measures such as access controls, encryption, authentication mechanisms, and vulnerability management to protect sensitive data and ensure the integrity and availability of the software.

Effective ERP/application security requires implementing role-based access controls (RBAC) to restrict user privileges based on job responsibilities, enforcing strong authentication methods like multi-factor authentication (MFA), and regularly updating and patching software to address vulnerabilities. Encryption techniques are used to protect data both in transit and at rest, while intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS) help detect and mitigate potential security breaches in real-time.
