Background
2015PAC Multi-Client Study 2015 – SAP Security: Securing ERP environments2
Increasing threats raise questions about the
security of SAP systems:
• Targeted attacks on companies, industrial
espionage and damage caused by insiders
relate not only to IT resources but also to
ERP systems that store especially critical
data.
• The increasing mobile access to the ERP
system is another avenue for attack.
• With the use of big data analytics, there are
additional requirements for data security.
• Attacks are aimed at different levels:
operating systems, databases & middle-
ware, application servers/business logic as
well as front-ends, including mobile devices.
• The use of SAP in the cloud brings new
security demands.
IT security is an investment topic and
includes the protection of applications:
• SAP users need to assess their threat level
(audits).
• Investments in security solutions and
services also result from compliance
requirements.
• Due to changes in the SAP landscape, the
need arises to check user permissions.
• The integration of portals and mobile
devices gives rise to the need for identity
management concepts and solutions.
• The safe storage of data requires solutions,
such as for data encryption.
The study examines whether and how SAP user companies respond to the increasing
threats from cyber attacks, espionage, enterprise mobility and the cloud, the challenges
they see in these processes, as well as the investments they are planning to make in
terms of security solutions and services.
