Cyber Protection Magazine Newsletter

Dear Reader,

It’s that time of the year again: the German SAP User Group, DSAG, is hosting their yearly conference – one of the biggest dedicated to SAP, the business software provider from Walldorf, Germany.

And considering the importance that SAP software represents in any company using it, it’s no surprise that security will be an important topic.

For those who don’t know what SAP does: as mentioned above, they provide business software, most notably ERP systems. Which are, literally, at the core of every company. To put that in numbers:

Companies with SAP Software:

Manufacture thousands of TVs
Move millions of passengers through air, land and sea
Produce thousands of cars

But more importantly:

72% of the world’s beer production somehow touches an SAP system.

With that being said, for various reasons SAP systems are often neglected when it comes to security. How that can change is the topic of this newsletter.

This newsletter is sponsored by SecurityBridge - 360° Cybersecurity for SAP.

Enjoy reading.

Cloud Security and SAP.

Today, SAP is not only a software provider any more. In fact, by now they are among the biggest cloud providers in the world. Which is why cloud security becomes crucial - for both SAP and their customers.

How a medieval city can explain cloud security.

There are two kinds of cloud security, and both can be explained using the analogy of a medieval city or village. Let’s do the time warp (again).

SAP Security Does Not Have To Be Complex

SAP security doesn't need to be complex, since a lot of tasks can be automated - but what about SAP security in the cloud?

Cloud’s Silver Linings – The potential for More Consistently Secured Landscapes

Cloud Security isn't easy. But it's more secure, specifically for complex solutions like SAP systems.

Last but not least SAP is also affected by the current AI hype. Not only will they use AI in their processes, but generative AI has an impact on SAP security, too.
