The Security Audit Log allows users with extensive authorizations to be monitored. This is particularly useful for ensuring compliance with both internal security policies and external legal requirements. The SAP standard tool gives an overview of critical activities relevant to security and logs them.

The Buchbinder case: how incorrect configurations impact data security
On January 23, 2020, news broke on one of the biggest data leaks to date in Germany. Apparently, it was possible for anyone on the Internet to gain full access to the backup of the entire database of car rental company Buchbinder. The ramifications are difficult grasp.
Rethinking real-time monitoring for IT security with the Internet of Things
The Internet of Things (IoT) is both a blessing and a curse: While it offers tremendous potential benefits, it also fosters uncertainty when it comes to protecting these complex connections against unauthorized access. After all, as more things get connected to the Internet, the risk of hacker attacks also increases.
The most important elements of a Cybersecurity Strategy
Today, cyberattacks on companies can easily cause damage in eight or even nine figures. Such attacks often take the form of spam e-mail, written with perfect spelling and grammar, that appears to have been sent by a colleague or a friend. The recipient is usually instructed to click a link or enter a password. And then it’s already too late: The malware spreads throughout the company. With the right cybersecurity strategy, on the other hand, you are well prepared.Detect and Eliminate Vulnerabilities in SAP Systems – Thanks to Security Audit and RFC Interface Analysis
SAP systems require special attention when it comes to their security and this is no longer news to anyone. More often than not, the ERP systems supplied from Walldorf in Baden-Württemberg store some of the most crucial and sensitive company data. That said, what is the best approach to achieving the optimum level of security? A security audit would fit the bill!
RFC Interfaces in SAP Landscapes: An Overview
Do you have an overview of the RFC interfaces in your SAP systems? The larger the company, the more interfaces there are. Unfortunately, these are often not taken into account when securing IT systems, thereby allowing hackers free access to sensitive data. The name of the game for SAP managers is therefore: Clean up and check.
Managed Service: The Booster for your SAP Security & Compliance
Checking for vulnerabilities, flawed configurations, and critical authorizations on a regular basis is the only reliable way to ensure SAP system security. Dedicated efforts to safeguard SAP environments, however, are both technically complex and contingent upon having a great deal of time and personnel. That’s why a managed service presents an attractive alternative.
Gunar Funke, head of SAP Manages Services SAST SOLUTIONS at AKQUINET, recently sat down with us to talk about why a managed service solution makes particular sense in the context of SAP security and what’s involved with regard to SAST SUITE.
SAP Security and Hosting: Hacking 40 SAP Systems in One Fell Swoop
In spite of the hype surrounding the cloud, the on-premise model in which customers run their own SAP software is still the norm. However, that doesn’t rule out a service provider handling part of the operations; indeed, hosting is a widely used model, particularly among SMEs. While the roles at hand are usually clearly assigned in a hosting model like this, the same unfortunately doesn’t always apply to SAP system security.
One step at a time: How to secure and harden your SAP Gateway
The Gateway is a central communication component of an SAP system. As such, it is an attractive target for hacker attacks – and should receive corresponding protections. If the Gateway protections fall short, hacking it becomes child’s play. Despite this, system interfaces are often left out when securing IT systems. Should a cyberattack occur, this will give the perpetrators direct access to your sensitive SAP systems.
