cybersecurity

The term "Big Data" refers to data that has massive volume, is varied in nature, and is generated at a high velocity. This data is difficult to process using conventional database management tools, and it grows over time. Cybersecurity is not limited to securing software applications or infrastructures; instead, it focuses on safeguarding data systems from any kind of breach or unauthorized access. Enterprise Resource Planning, or ERP system, is an information system that integrates all business transactions, and the data present in the system flow between various units or departments of the company. Such systems are more often targets of cyberattacks because of the data they hold. AI-driven ERP cybersecurity applications are imperative for securing such systems against modern cyber threats. AI technologies provide automation, and when integrated with Big Data, it becomes a stronger tool for enhancing the security of any data system. This study is focused on AI and Big Data techniques that can be used in ERP cybersecurity systems. The proposed methodology can be used by any cybersecurity developer for building a data processing system or AI mechanism that can effectively process data from an enterprise system or any data system. Associative classification techniques can be impressively effective compared to conventional classification solutions in the development of an AI algorithm for detecting cyber threats against ERP systems. It is more effective in comparison to traditional algorithms, as very few works are available on associating associative rules on a complete log file of an organization containing organizational data for work purposes. Additionally, the proposed framework can be imperatively helpful for real-time surveillance and data management systems and may lead to future growth in the cybersecurity and digitization domain.

The article outlines the development of neural network frameworks to counter future cyberattacks in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. A lack of security can lead to major risks. Hence, an ERP system is more prone to cyberattacks. Many researchers have suggested the integration of big data analytics to counter cyberattacks. We have designed a neural network framework for binary classification to predict the attack classes in real-time. We have compared various types of neural networks to check which neural network is more effective and has less error in predicting cyberattacks. The findings revealed that out of the proposed methodologies, the ensemble of the Recurrent Neural Network as an autoencoder is the most effective design. We proposed three designs, and we have found that the ensemble of deep learning provides a 97.5% error rate. This design is most effective for big data architecture in the real-time pipeline of ERP. The trends of deep learning work on big data but face some practical issues in implementing the models. The study is beneficial for organizations using ERP, which is the largest ERP vendor and the most costly product widely used worldwide. Hence, it provides research in the field of cybersecurity and contributes to the latest technology approach redesign for practitioners. Deep learning methodologies face practical challenges in the real-time representation of any event. The relevance of the computing approach of the novel and deep learning model in practice is identified, and it is performed by the researchers.

In the modern world of digital technologies, several technological and managerial aspects share a strong intersection. Among others, three important aspects are big data, cybersecurity, and enterprise resource planning systems. In the IT era, organizations have been relying on applications for their growth and day-to-day activities. While it is essential to manage and operate ERPs to improve and attain new business heights, there are also big questions about continuous cyberattacks, security, and hacking issues. The ignorance and negligence of the management and staff in any of these have led them to a significant level of loss. Some instances have practically shown companies' reputations and prospects went down drastically due to such uncontrollable white-collar crimes. The growth of the digital era forces us to devise adept mechanisms and take stringent measures. Consequently, there is a need to transcend these major challenges in unison. In this exploratory study, we have proposed the potential and the possibility for deep learning in the area of big data and cybersecurity when closely knit with enterprise resource planning systems. Contemporary ERPs are like the central nervous system of a living organism: providing vital data and ensuring efficient operations. The key elements of today's organizations are reporting systems and transaction processing systems. The database systems that store business data are often architected with a mixture of different data management technologies. These conglomerate systems are often hybrids with a complex array of proprietary, open-source, and emerging cloud-based convergences. Considering the fast and rapidly changing IT environments, ERPs have to be adaptable to these data challenges. The security of an organization's data is a core issue and must be protected from IT-based security threats. Organizations must have reserved data hacked or be demoralized by hacking attempts. The harmonic convergence of data management, cybersecurity analytics, and deep learning provides profound new approaches for hardening the systems that manage and protect the data!
