The AUSAPE 2026 Job Fair has once again become one of the main meeting points for professionals, organisations and specialists in the SAP ecosystem. An edition marked by a particularly relevant context for companies: the acceleration of digital transformation, the consolidation of cloud environments and the growing importance of cybersecurity in critical business systems.
At Inprosec we had the opportunity to take part in the event, sharing conversations with candidates, SAP professionals and organisations facing some of the greatest technological challenges of the coming years. A setting that left one clear conclusion: the SAP ecosystem is evolving rapidly, and security is already a central part of that evolution.
SAP in 2026: an increasingly strategic environment
SAP remains one of the most critical platforms within organisations. Finance, logistics, human resources, procurement, production and supply chain are increasingly dependent on highly integrated, connected and automated environments.
The transition to SAP S/4HANA continues to advance as a priority for many companies, driving modernisation projects that affect not only the technological infrastructure, but also the way business processes, access and operational risk are managed.
Added to this is the consolidation of hybrid and cloud models, where on-premise environments coexist with SaaS solutions, external integrations and new AI-powered tools. All of this exponentially increases the complexity of governance, compliance and protection of SAP systems.
The key SAP trends that will define 2026
During AUSAPE 2026, many conversations centred around trends that are already redefining the SAP ecosystem:
SAP security is no longer a standalone project
A growing number of organisations understand that SAP security cannot be addressed solely from a technical perspective. Access protection, segregation of duties (SoD), risk monitoring and identity management are a direct part of business strategy and compliance.
The exposure of critical systems, particularly in hybrid and cloud environments, makes it necessary to adopt continuous security models adapted to the real context of each organisation.
S/4HANA accelerates the need to review access and risks
Migrating to S/4HANA is not merely a technological upgrade. Many companies are using these projects as an opportunity to redefine roles, review authorisations, resolve SoD conflicts and improve their governance and control processes.
The transformation offers a key opportunity to build more efficient, scalable security models aligned with current business needs.
Compliance is taking centre stage
Regulated sectors and large organisations are strengthening their audit and regulatory compliance strategies within SAP. Traceability, privileged access control and the ability to demonstrate compliance are already priority factors for many companies.
In this context, solutions related to SAP GRC, continuous auditing and control automation are gaining increasing relevance.
AI and automation are transforming SAP management
The incorporation of artificial intelligence and automation into business processes opens up new efficiency opportunities, but also new security and governance challenges.
Decision automation, the integration of intelligent assistants and platform interconnection all require a review of how data is protected, how access is controlled and how associated risks are managed.

SAP talent: one of the event’s key themes
Beyond the technological dimension, AUSAPE 2026 once again placed talent at the centre of the conversation. The growth of the SAP ecosystem continues to generate high demand for specialist profiles capable of combining functional and technical knowledge with business vision.
During the Job Fair we had the opportunity to speak with professionals who represent the future of the SAP sector: profiles ready to take on transformation, security and governance projects in a constantly evolving environment.
Because beyond technology, talent remains the true driver of transformation.
Looking ahead
The SAP ecosystem is entering a decisive phase. Technological modernisation, regulatory pressure, cloud expansion and the growing sophistication of threats are making SAP security and governance strategic priorities for any organisation.
At Inprosec we will continue to support companies through that process, helping them build SAP environments that are more secure, efficient and prepared for the challenges of the years ahead.
