On Wednesday, June 25th, Inprosec delivered an exclusive webinar through our partner platform CUVIV, focusing on the “Design and Monitoring of SAP Security Status”. The session was presented by our SAP security consultant, Pedro Costas.
SAP Security Baseline: Standards to Protect Your Systems
During the webinar, we explored the SAP Security Baseline, SAP’s official guide that outlines the minimum recommended practices and configurations to protect systems against common threats. The six key pillars were detailed, covering everything from infrastructure and networks to logging and auditing of critical events.
Key Tools: Configuration Validation and System Recommendations
As the session continued, two essential tools for evaluating and monitoring SAP security were introduced:
- Configuration Validation: Allows you to compare the current system configuration against a defined target (Target System), identifying deviations and potential risks.
- System Recommendations: Provides a detailed analysis of the implementation status of SAP security notes, helping to keep systems up to date and protected.
The importance of integrating these tools with processes such as ChaRM (Change Request Management) was also emphasized, to ensure traceability and regulatory compliance.
Preparing for the Future: The End of SAP Solution Manager
The webinar also addressed the end of support for SAP Solution Manager by 2027, and the alternative solutions offered by SAP, such as SAP Cloud ALM and Focused Run. Their features, integrations, and limitations were analyzed in comparison with traditional tools.
Conclusion
This webinar reinforced the importance of having a proactive strategy for SAP system security. At Inprosec, we remain committed to raising awareness, providing training, and supporting our clients in strengthening their SAP environments.
