From black box to transparency: effective threat detection for the SAP infrastructure

SAP systems process the operational backbone of many companies, from finance and payroll accounting to master data. However, this is precisely where the biggest blind spots in IT security often arise: misconfigurations and authorisations that have grown over the years remain undetected. Traditional firewalls and endpoint protection usually stop at the SAP application layer. If you don't know who has what access in your systems, you lose control over processes, data and compliance.

In this Expert Talk, Maike Rose (Editor-in-Chief of IT-OnlineMagazin) discusses with Patric Walldorf, Cyber Security Director at Claranet, and Christian Schuller, SAP Security Consultant at Claranet, how you can open this black box and gain real visibility with targeted threat detection.

What you can expect:

• Why traditional IT security is reaching its limits with SAP
• How targeted threat detection brings back control
• Why digital sovereignty starts with visibility
• What NIS-2 and DORA mean for managing directors in SMEs
• First concrete steps without a large budget

What is SAP Threat Detection?

A specialised form of attack detection that centrally evaluates SAP-specific log data and integrates it into the existing SIEM.
