digital enterprise security

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.

This paper introduces a framework to enhance the present enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems by integrating big data analytics and state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI)-driven cybersecurity mechanisms. Nowadays, due to the diversity and high volume of data, the use of business intelligence and analytics solutions is paramount for ERP systems. This use results in the optimization of enterprise resource planning functions. AI can be used with cybersecurity mechanisms to predict and stop the behavior of a potential threat, thus leading to an optimal cybersecurity model. However, the biggest challenge is the integration of run-time cybersecurity solutions with the enterprise resources in the ERP systems. The proposed solutions incorporate advanced AI-driven cybersecurity techniques for intrusion detection, anomaly detection innovation, and prediction-based mechanisms to mitigate potential threats at the onset. In particular, the paper proposes a set of measures and guidelines for IT stakeholders and business executives on how to integrate technology innovation while maintaining the ERP systems to be modern, relevant, and adaptive in a competitive business environment. We believe that our work is beneficial for both researchers and practitioners to systematically understand the significance of integrating big data analytics with the existing ERP functions and the application of AI in the cybersecurity model for enterprises. Our results emphasize that the implementation of big data and AI-based solutions within the organization will support innovation, safeguard security mechanisms, and lead to a sustainable position in the digital market.
