Regard­less of whether SAP soft­ware is the beat­ing heart of your company’s back and front office or runs remote­ly as a stand­alone sys­tem or in a sub­sidiary, your SAP soft­ware inter­acts, shares data and sign-on cre­den­tials, and lives with­in the same ecosys­tem as your non-SAP assets. This means that your efforts towards man­ag­ing the cyber-secu­ri­ty of your com­pa­ny can’t be lim­it­ed to pro­tect­ing your SAP sys­tems alone: you need to take into account how you man­age the cyber-secu­ri­ty of these non-SAP sys­tems as part of your over­all SAP secu­ri­ty régime. 

If you’re like most SAP cus­tomers, your SAP port­fo­lio includes more than just ECC 6.0: your com­pa­ny may already have imple­ment­ed or is con­sid­er­ing imple­ment­ing SAP HANA and S/4 HANA, or some of SAP’s recent acqui­si­tions like Suc­cess­Fac­tors, Ari­ba, Con­cur, and hybris. With these sys­tems in the land­scape, the com­plex­i­ty of the cyber-secu­ri­ty chal­lenge in your com­pa­ny has become vast and poten­tial­ly over­whelm­ing. How­ev­er vast and poten­tial­ly over­whelm­ing hack­ers and their ilk are after your company’s data and intel­lec­tu­al prop­er­ty regard­less of what sys­tems they reside in, and that means SAP cyber­se­cu­ri­ty needs to be a holis­tic effort that takes a sys­tem-wide approach to SAP cyber-security. 

Josh and Chris will dis­cuss the over­all issues in tak­ing a holis­tic approach to SAP cyber-secu­ri­ty and how com­pa­nies can approach cyber-secu­ri­ty from this new per­spec­tive. You will also learn the addi­tion­al top­ic areas to be cov­ered as part of ASUG’s Cyber-secu­ri­ty week in June 2017
