SAP systems form the backbone of companies of all sizes and industries. They store business-critical data and control central processes. However, with the increasing professionalisation of cyber attacks, the risks are also growing. Technical vulnerabilities, insecure interfaces and targeted attacks can cause massive damage.
Our "SAP Security" study shows how a holistic security strategy can minimise the considerable risks for companies.
The transformation to SAP S/4HANA offers opportunities for more security, but requires careful planning. New interfaces and operating models lead to an increased attack surface, which is why security systems should be integrated from the outset. Our study highlights best practices such as security-by-design and the importance of patch and vulnerability management.
A key step for companies is to assess their own level of security maturity. The study identifies key issues relating to governance, monitoring and the provision of secure SAP environments. One focus is on continuous threat monitoring and clearly defined security roles.
The study offers concrete examples from practice, such as the introduction of secure standards in companies in various sectors. It shows how effective monitoring, targeted security measures and clear responsibilities can improve protection.
