Unify cross-application SoD across your business landscape
Cross-application business processes have unlocked best-of-breed solutions but are introducing new access risks. The proliferation of these business processes has also shifted how organizations must address Segregation of Duties (SoD). Today’s security models span a variety of applications.

Attribute-based data masking for SAP – protect your ERP data better and reduce your compliance risks significantly
SAP applications contain large amounts of sensitive data. From protected personal information to privileged financial data, this data always harbors risks that companies must deal with, because SAP ERP does not have any built-in masking functions for custom-tailored anonymization in views. As such, the unchecked disclosure of data represents a potential leak, opening up a huge target for potential exploitation. Although add-ons and solutions from SAP and third parties are available to tackle this problem, significant challenges still remain. This is where the concept of attribute-based data masking comes in.

Protect your SAP systems against ransomware attacks with reliable transport analyses
Transports are an essential part of an SAP environment. They are used to transfer changes from one system to another, to implement new functions, to perform updates, and to install third-party applications.

How IT security policies help you satisfy your security requirements
Do you know what you have to do when your company faces security incidents? Do you have documents where you can look up what you need to do? If so, are they up to date?
