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. Change management in SAP is inconceivable without transports. Yet how can they be checked for security risks?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Surveys indicate that two-thirds of companies would probably not notice if security risks were deliberately or unintentionally introduced into the system via SAP transports. This is because compliance requirements can be circumvented and undesirable activities can be concealed. For example, it is possible to:<\/p>\n
There are numerous possible security risks, which is why you should always monitor transports to SAP systems. Consider the large number of regularly transported lines of code, random checks do not provide sufficient protection in this case.<\/p>\n
Ideally, such vulnerabilities should be avoided during the creation or import of transports, rather than after the fact. Considering the sheer volume of data, however, manually checking the content of all transports is not a practical option. Tool-based transport analysis gives you the opportunity to reduce this effort and automate the monitoring of transports. Transports can be checked automatically for security, compliance and quality issues before they are released.<\/p>\n
The software solution from the Pathlock Group<\/a> analyzes transport content during import and transfers the results to a SIEM system. The Pathlock<\/a> platform thus enables monitoring transports by checking them for error and critical content even before they are released for import into the SAP systems, and that in real time as well, during implementation. The automatic blocking of faulty transports enables development teams to troubleshoot problems before the quality, security, or compliance of the SAP system is compromised. It is irrelevant whether it concerns poor coding, faulty configuration or intentional tampering.<\/p>\n The integration is carried out in the standard mechanisms provided by SAP such as SAP Transport Management System, SAP ChaRM, ABAP Test Cockpit, etc. without revising already established mechanisms.<\/p>\n The main advantages:<\/p>\n Our SAST SOLUTIONS<\/a> \u2013 which are now also part of the Pathlock platform \u2013 provide you with full support for SAP ransomware prevention.
