Security at the applications and process level are very much part of the GRC mandate -- particularly as they relate to compliance and governance. This is a red-hot area for everyone -- not just SAP and its customers -- and represents in my opinion the beginning of a lot of job opportunities for consultants and developers.
The reason is simple. Today much of what comes under a general GRC heading is either unautomated or poorly automated, and with both the exposure risk of non-compliance and the upside potential of doing a better job at GRC tasks, I predict customers will be spending heavily and willingly for solutions in this area for a long time to come.
