Attackers Target SAP Systems Tied to 80% of Global Transaction Revenue as Cloud Migration Exposes Them

Summary
Internet-exposed SAP systems are drawing more attacks as companies move core operations to the cloud, giving adversaries direct remote paths into business-critical applications and data.
Cloud migration removes network barriers that once kept many SAP environments reachable mainly by internal users, while new B2B, B2C and AI interfaces expand that external connectivity.
AI is accelerating the threat by cutting exploit development time from days to minutes and lowering the SAP expertise attackers need to launch effective attacks.
Mariano Nunez of Onapsis said enterprises should shrink the attack surface, monitor for exploitation and scan AI-generated code before it reaches ERP and other business platforms.
With 80 percent of global revenue running on SAP, will the rush to deploy untested AI agents trigger the next massive corporate data breach?
If traditional perimeter defenses are dead, how can enterprises protect their most sensitive financial data from unauthenticated remote executions in the cloud?
