Securing RISE with SAP

Security in RISE with SAP operates on a shared responsibility model, meaning that while SAP manages much of the foundational security, customers retain significant obligations to safeguard their environments. 

Learn how SecurityBridge supports customers on their secure RISE with SAP journey helping them identify and address security gaps before migration, so they don’t carry existing risks and misconfigurations into their future SAP landscape.

Challenge

RISE with SAP consolidates business processes in a cloud-based infrastructure to help businesses modernize and scale.

But as organizations hand over control of infrastructure, they also inherit new security blind spots and risks. In a RISE environment, implicit trust in your provider is no longer enough. continuous visibility, monitoring, and verification become critical to protecting your most business-critical SAP systems from cyber threats, compliance gaps, and operational disruption.

Shared Responsibility 

AP manages the infrastructure. Your team is still responsible for: user access and authorizations, custom ABAP code vulnerabilities, security configuration, compliance reporting, and threat detection inside SAP. None of that is covered by RISE.

Ensuring Compliance 

SOX, NIS2, ISO 27001, GDPR, all still apply in RISE. SecurityBridge automates continuous compliance checks and generates audit evidence automatically not assembled before a review.

Identity, Access, and Authorization  

Access abuse and privilege escalation don’t stop when you move to RISE. SecurityBridge continuously verifies identity, privileges, and access context inside SAP, preventing misuse before it becomes an incident.

Shared Responsibility

Here’s exactly where SAP’s responsibility ends and where SecurityBridge picks up.

SecurityBridge for RISE with SAP

Suggestion Real-Time 
Threat Visibility Inside RISE

Real-time monitoring tools detect and alert on suspicious activities, minimizing response times to potential threats. With behavior-based anomaly detection and security research provided by SecurityBridge, you get complete visibility into the critical security events that should be analyzed immediately to prevent cyber-attacks against your SAP systems.

Alerts with actionable recommendations can also be sent directly to other systems, such as the company’s SIEM including Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, QRadar, and more with no custom connectors required.

Automating Patch Management

Security Risk & Patch Management

Continuous application security assessments identify risks and prioritize mitigations, ensuring critical issues are addressed promptly. SecurityBridge automatically scans SAP applications for vulnerabilities or missing SAP Security Notes and provides risk-based recommendations on where to start.

This is essential for efficient collaboration with SAP regarding patch management, while also enabling virtual patching by monitoring potential exploit activity until fixes are applied by SAP helping organizations maintain visibility and reduce exposure between patch cycles.

Compliance Automation

SecurityBridge simplifies compliance management by automating monitoring and providing pre-configured reporting templates. With continuous compliance checks against security frameworks such as SOX, NIST, KRITIS, or NIS2, you adhere to regulations with minimal manual overhead. Compliance is continuous not assembled before a review. Always audit-ready, inside your RISE environment.

One Source of Truth Across Your Entire SAP RISE Landscape

SecurityBridge provides visibility across the entire SAP landscape, 
helping organizations optimize their security strategies.


Features include:

  • Dashboards for monitoring security metrics in real-time
  • Effective detection of User Access and Authorization misuse
  • Automated Code Security embedded into your custom development and change management processes
  • Consolidated views for hybrid cloud and on-premise environments
  • Data-driven insights to guide decision-making

Identity and Access

Credential misuse is one of the leading causes of SAP security breaches. That’s why TrustBroker secures user access with SSO and enforces MFA when it is required, only when the risk warrants it. 

How does it work?

  • With SSO, users log in once and access their SAP systems securely.
  • MFA is enforced based on which system the user logs into, their role assignment, or by the actions they perform after login.
  • When paired with the SecurityBridge Platform, MFA can also be enforced based on risk and context (e.g. if the user is expected to perform certain actions and does something different)
  • Sensitive actions like financial approvals require re-authentication using MFA.
