Manage your Implementation Risks and Project Overheads

SAP applications can improve visibility to all areas of your business, create more efficient workflow, unify reporting and inform decision-making based on real-time data. Therefore, partnering with SAP makes sound business sense. However, securing information in such systems against service disruption and unauthorized change or disclosure, is an immense challenge.

Conventional approaches to security focus on the SAP business layer. This includes roles, groups and authorizations used to control access to SAP transactions and objects. It also includes settings in the Implementation Guide (IMG) that enable organizations to configure SAP to meet their specific needs.

Strong access controls and a robust configuration are a critical component of SAP security. However, they do not safeguard SAP systems from internal and external threats that by-pass the SAP application layer and exploit vulnerabilities at the program, platform or database level.

Layer Seven Security's distinctive approach includes an end-to-end review of application, program and technical components and provides a complete 360 degree perspective of the security of your SAP environment. Through partnerships with leading software developers, we are able to leverage solutions specifically engineered for SAP systems to detect:

  - Insecure access privileges and insufficient segregation of duties;
  - Coding vulnerabilities in custom SAP programs developed by internal and external developers
    or implementation partners, and
  - Configuration weaknesses in components of NetWeaver Application Servers.

The automated tools licensed by Layer Seven Security are employed by organizations such as Standard Bank, LG Philips, KLM, World Bank, Siemens and the U.S Army to assess risks in SAP environments.

Our unique methodology delivers the only professional service that reviews every attack surface in contemporary SAP systems. It also delivers rapid results and lowers the cost of SAP security assessments in comparison to conventional, non-automated approaches.

Our consultants work closely with business and technical owners to design, build and deploy secure SAP solutions that align with your threat landscape and approach to risk management. Our solutions are also designed to meet audit and compliance requirements from Go-Live and avoid the need for costly remediation after implementation.
