Answer to Question 1

Because many users now access their ERP systems with browsers, they are increasingly susceptible to viruses, hackers and attacks over the Internet. Employees need to be educated about the importance of maintaining security for their ERP system. User IDs and passwords can be stolen and sometimes firms hire consultants to try and hack into their systems to test users. PDAs and laptops with sensitive information can also be stolen. ERP systems are prime targets since they contain so much sensitive information. A security plan should be created which starts with changing passwords frequently and educating users. Extensive hardware and network security features should also be in place.
