From electronics to appliances and more, consumers and businesses around the world watch, listen, communicate, and work using Sharp Electronics. With operations crossing multiple countries and markets, protecting company systems and data is a must. But understanding the financial exposure risks of improper access governance and segregation of duties (SoD) is nearly impossible with manual mitigating controls.
To strengthen internal controls, Sharp implemented the SAP® Access Control application and the SAP Access Violation Management application by Pathlock. Now managing access control and SOD is more efficient than ever, reducing IT costs and allowing IT staff to work on more-strategic initiatives. That means Sharp can rest easy knowing that company information is in the right hands, driving better business practices and continued innovation.
“The synergy between system solutions and procedure and technology and humanity empowers and frees companies to focus on core business functions. Leveraging innovative solutions like SAP Access Control and SAP Access Violation Management allows Sharp to do more and maximize resources,” said Wyatt MacManus, Associate Director, Information Security at Sharp Electronics Corporation
