In Episode 106 of the Cybersecurity Readiness Podcast Series, Dr. Dave Chatterjee is joined by Holger Hügel, Chief Technology Officer of SecurityBridge and a global authority on SAP cybersecurity with over 26 years of experience - to address a governance blind spot that exists inside the security perimeters of even the most mature enterprise organizations: the SAP environment. Opening with the August 2024 ransomware attack on Stoli Group USA - where attackers went straight for the company's SAP enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, disrupting financial operations and contributing directly to a bankruptcy filing within three months - Dr. Chatterjee frames the episode's central challenge: organizations can have zero trust architecture, network segmentation, and identity governance fully deployed across their IT landscape, and still be critically exposed, because most CISOs have never formally claimed accountability for SAP security, and most SAP teams do not think of themselves as part of the security function. Hügel explains the structural gap at the heart of this problem.
