Working with the NYMI teams on various global projects has been a delightful experience. I often refer to the NYMI Band as "biometrics for gloves". The pharma industry, in particular, has shown great interest in this technology due to mandatory regulations that necessitate digital signatures in SAP from individuals who typically wear gloves or protective medical suits. This poses a challenge for traditional biometric solutions such as fingerprint readers or palm vein scanners. However, by combining the NYMI Biometric bands with bioLock's precise biometric controls in SAP, we have created the ultimate security and approval solution for any life sciences or pharma organization that operates on SAP.

The annual SAP Insider in Las Vegas never disappoints! I had the pleasure of connecting with both old and new friends to discuss our bioLock MFA4SAP technology. For over two decades, our MFA technology has helped SAP customers protect their functions and mouse clicks within SAP. If you're interested in learning more about MFA for SAP functions, feel free to contact us for an informal presentation. Though Vegas was great, I'm happy to be back home after topping 20,000 steps a day. The city is truly massive and it is getting bigger every year!

Great to peek behind the scenes of manufacturing at Wacker Chemical Corporation USA in Bradley County, TN. Thank you for hosting the GACC delegation. It was interesting to learn that every American touches Wacker products every day.

Great article about Zero Trust for SAP technology being used by SASOL OIL to reinforce SAP GRC compliance efforts and specifically to protect SAP financial transactions. If you work with SAP, read this valuable success story from Africa’s leading Security Publisher.

Great Keynote at the Knoxville Technology Council Event about creating the World's Fastest Supercomputer "FRONTIER". 680sm or 7300 sq ft of computers which are located just minutes from my house in East Tennessee. Consider using this computer power for your SAP System - unless you are concerned about the $600 Million budget ;-). Oakridge built the fastest supercomputer back in 2004 - 18 years later the FRONTIER is 100,000 times faster! Made new friends Oakridge National Laboratory CGI Accenture

If you think SSO is the answer to all your security problems, think again! Hackers don't hack in, they LOG IN using Purchased SSO Credentials from the dark web. If you want to protect your most sensitive functions look at technologies that PREVENT ATOs and ENFORCE ZERO TRUST on the function level!

Stolen SSO credentials are available for half of the top 20 public companies, and 25% of the entire S&P 500, BitSight found.

http://www.realtimenorthamerica.com/download/Case_Studies/CaseStudy-SASOL_GRC_FinanceApprovals.pdf As per the CIO of a Global Oil Company, GRC’s capabilities STOP when the approver uses somebody else's password to approve the payment via SAP Digital Signature. Learn how Sasol Oil is preventing the circumvention of GRC Roles with granular biometric controls for sensitive SAP functions like the release of bank payments. See how they enforce a true four-eyes principle for changes of responsibility rules via dual confirmation groups. The Sarbanes–Oxley Act of 2002 started a compliance trend that triggered SAP to purchase the VIRSA realtime-compliance tool in 2006. Since then it has been marketed as SAP GRC (Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance). Many competitive tools have been marketed in different countries. While many of these solutions are necessary to mitigate risks like SoD’s (Segregation of Duties), they are still very vulnerable to the fact that all efforts are easily circumvented by Account Take Overs (ATOs).
