BOSTON, Mass., Feb. 9, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWEB - Onapsis, the global experts in business-critical application security, today announced that Technical Sales Engineer Sage Wagner will deliver a presentation at Suits and Spooks conference located in Washington D.C. As concern grows about the criticality of SAP vulnerabilities against the federal and public sectors, agencies are seeking strategies to operationalize their SAP security strategy and ensure top protection against mission-critical data.
"Applications running on SAP within the public sector are considered some of the best 'economics' for cyber attackers from nation states, fraudsters and high-level hacking groups. As threats are becoming more advanced, these attackers are leveraging vulnerabilities that exist within SAP systems to access the most confidential information a government of public agency has," said Sage Wagner, Technical Sales Engineer, Onapsis.
Suits and Spooks is a unique, limited attendance cyber security event founded and owned by Taia Global, Inc. Each event draws thought leaders and decision makers from the public, private, defense, law enforcement and intelligence sectors who come to learn about and discuss some of the key security challenges which face our digitally connected nation and world.
