Onapsis Enhances Security Features for SAP Business Technology Platform
Onapsis, a leader in cybersecurity and compliance solutions tailored for SAP applications, recently unveiled exciting updates to its flagship products, Onapsis Defend and Onapsis Assess. These enhancements are designed to strengthen security for the SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP). As more organizations transition to SAP S/4HANA cloud solutions and RISE with SAP, they are increasingly using SAP BTP as a comprehensive framework for analytics, app development, artificial intelligence, and automation. However, this shift also presents significant security and compliance challenges, making a strong approach to shared security responsibilities among cloud customers essential.
Navigating Security Challenges with SAP BTP
With organizations globally moving towards SAP S/4HANA Cloud and RISE with SAP, ensuring the security of SAP BTP is critical. A lot of SAP users and security professionals feel unprepared for the changes in security architecture that come with implementing SAP BTP. Mariano Nunez, the CEO of Onapsis, emphasizes that Onapsis offers unique capabilities with its comprehensive knowledge base and automated features, which are vital for safeguarding essential functions while keeping up with changing regulatory requirements.
New Features of Onapsis Defend
Among the most significant updates is the enhanced real-time security monitoring provided by Onapsis Defend. This tool is now capable of identifying potential indicators of compromise within SAP BTP. As businesses seek to meet regulatory disclosure obligations such as the EU's NIS2 and US SEC regulations, ensuring robust SAP security is crucial. Companies need to broaden their security strategies to cover all critical systems, including SAP BTP, to support swift incident analysis and response.
Real-Time Alerts and Monitoring Functions
Onapsis Defend for SAP BTP now equips organizations with a more advanced early warning system for potential threats. Key features include:
- Real-time alerts about significant configuration changes and assignments of sensitive permissions.
- Detection of unauthorized access or users with excessive privileges.
- Smooth integration of critical incident alerts with Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR) systems, which accelerates incident response and maintains compliance.
Insights from Onapsis Assess for BTP
In addition, Onapsis has made further enhancements to Onapsis Assess for BTP, which was introduced earlier this year. These improvements have increased visibility into the attack surface of SAP BTP, helping organizations identify and secure configurations and user accounts based on best practices determined by Onapsis Research Labs. Additionally, the AI engine of Onapsis Security Advisor has been upgraded to provide BTP-specific insights, offering customized, real-time guidance for improving overall SAP security posture.
Tackling Risks with Comprehensive Assessment
Onapsis Assess for SAP BTP enhances visibility into risks and vulnerabilities by:
- Monitoring user accounts, identity provider settings, and authorization allocations.
- Assessing BTP configurations against SAP Security Baseline, SAP BTP security guidelines, and recommendations from Onapsis Research Labs.
By combining the security of SAP BTP along with the related code and application development through Onapsis Control, organizations can significantly reduce their SAP attack surface, minimize financial losses, and prevent potential downtime caused by ransomware attacks.
Robust Security Supported by SAP
Being the only SAP application security and compliance solution officially recognized by SAP, Onapsis stands out in providing comprehensive and advanced security solutions for SAP BTP, especially for RISE with SAP implementations. The insights generated by Onapsis Research Labs, which have identified over 1,000 zero-day vulnerabilities, enable Onapsis to transform this deep understanding of active threats into actionable security measures that competitors can’t match. This dedication helps both RISE with SAP and traditional SAP customers feel secure as they navigate the constantly evolving landscape of SAP threats.
