A cloud ERP solution like Acumatica has many benefits and features that help increase the security of the solution. An ERP system safeguards businesses through effective cloud ERP security capabilities that don’t require expensive investments for buying new hardware or expanding security and IT teams. Extensive security allows companies to have peace of mind against threats of data breaches or attacks. Below are three ways Acumatica’s cloud ERP can help improve your business’s security.  

1. Securing your business by reducing operational inefficiencies: Acumatica connects every department in your business, so data from each team is collected, synchronized, and stored in a centralized system. This data is updated in real time and is instantly accessible to every authorized employee. In turn, Acumatica provides the tools you need to analyze that data and draw fact-based decisions from it. Those fact-based decisions will help you optimize your workflows and procedures, eliminating operational inefficiencies that could slow your ability to adapt to changes in normal business processes or respond to malicious cyberattacks. 

1. Improving security with expanded visibility: Acumatica provides end-to-end monitoring of your data environment, which gives you a 360° view of your business and exposes vulnerabilities that might otherwise have gone undetected. Real-time alerts and pattern recognition will warn your teams of potential—or actual—breaches, so quick action can be taken to prevent and/or contain them. 

1. Empowering companies to combat cyber-crime: Technology is often touted as the best way to battle never-ending cybercrime. But one other thing is equally important: educating your employees on cyber security. Your organization is under constant attack, and, though the security provided by Acumatica is great, your team must still be trained to recognize the signs of and respond to a threat.
