What Neil Armstrong once said when putting down his first foot on the moon is now true for SAP Security. During these very special times, our product development team has been active as ever, introducing new – sometimes even groundbreaking- functions, helping our customers to further simplify the path for securely running SAP.
SecurityBridge customers have access to the product roadmap, which they directly also have input to. We are pleased to once again confirm we are on track in realizing committed targets. With the newly released platform features, we are on track to becoming the #1 independent, SAP native, cybersecurity platform. Our open platform solution is entirely built within the SAP technology stack, leveraging familiar and proven technologies, which are easy to integrate with already existing IT security solutions. Our commitment to partner with trusted security service providers and advisors pays off and helps us to introduce speed-to-security.
Some features included in Version 5.80 originate from customer feedback. We would like to take this opportunity to express our special thanks to our SecurityBridge customers! We appreciate the open and close cooperation and value your comments and suggestions.
Our product management remains consistent with the direction taken on using SAP Fiori interfaces. Release 5.80 shows the first version of the Global Settings application for SecurityBridge. This new Fiori app bundles all platform settings and configuration options. With this, we further simplify the installation and long term maintenance.
Particularly noteworthy is the integration of the Transport Center solution into the SecurityBridge platform. Read more about this further down in the article.
With release 5.80 we published another major product release for our user community. The new version is already available for download in our customer portal.

Transport Center
Entire new capability: SAP Transport Management
…for many people also known as TRACE, is now shipped as a SecurityBridge module. Transport Center is a powerful transport request manager, a power shield on top of SAP TMS (transaction STMS). With the strategic decision to merge Transport Center within the SecurityBridge platform existing TRACE customers will soon benefit from integrated code security at transport release and deployment, without license impact. SecurityBridge customers will also benefit from enhanced transport security capabilities. A true win-win.
