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 our customers to a secure RISE with SAP journey.

Challenge

RISE with SAP consolidates business processes in a cloud-based infrastructure to assist them in modernizing and scaling. However, this transformation also poses potential threats to organizations and has critical implications for security programs. The primary security challenges include:

Shared Responsibility

Even though SAP ensures the foundational integrity of the cloud, the customer is still responsible for application and business process security.

Ensuring Compliance

Organizations are still responsible for keeping their SAP systems compliant with industry frameworks. Being audit-ready and keeping compliance imposes a significant overhead in daily operations.

Identity, Access, and Authorization

Security breaches often originate from poorly managed access controls, making it essential to detect misuse efficiently and avoid the non-secure use of “dummy” users and impersonations.

SecurityBridge for RISE with SAP

Security Audit Log (SAL) Monitoring and Threat Detection

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 SIEM.

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 an efficient collaboration with SAP regarding patch management while also enabling virtual patching by monitoring of potential exploits until patched by SAP.
