ERP

Integrated software managing core business processes such as finance and HR.

ERP software integrates core business functions such as finance, human resources, procurement, and supply chain into a single platform and shared database. From a security standpoint it concentrates highly sensitive financial and personnel data, making it a high value target that demands strong access control, segregation of duties, and auditing. Because modules share data, a single compromise can have wide reach across the organization. The exam relevance is treating ERP as critical infrastructure requiring careful change management, role based permissions, and protection of the data it centralizes.
