How to switch from SAP Code Vulnerability Analyzer to the Cybersecurity Extension for SAP, Part 8

The Cybersecurity Extension for SAP is developed by Layer Seven Security. Layer7 is an SAP partner and competitor of SAP CVA. This guide will help you plan for the transition from SAP CVA to the Cybersecurity Extension for SAP. Once you have transitioned from SAP CVA, you can remove the SAP CVA consoles and sensors from your SAP landscape, as well as the SAP CVA users and addons in your SAP systems.

Solution Manager is a monitoring and diagnostics platform widely used by SAP customers for application lifecycle management. Over 12,000 SAP customers worldwide are actively using Solution Manager to manage their SAP systems. Usage rights for Solution Manager are included in SAP support.
