Application Security for SAP Solutions
Guard your SAP applications from threats hidden in content and form submissions.
Companies around the globe use SAP to monitor production, manage data, and improve processes. And with today’s global market and increasingly mobilized workforce, SAP has kept up with their customers’ needs by opening up applications to external parties/communication. Suppliers, partners, job applicants, and remote staff can all access and upload files to these applications, resulting in more efficient workflows.
However, this opens your system up to cybersecurity threats that could take down your entire enterprise.
How Is SAP Vulnerable?
Your monthly security notes from SAP tell the tale: SAP is not immune to security vulnerabilities.
How vulnerable are they? We recently performed a test on the common SAP E-Recruiting application.
Out of the 120 random sites we tested, 52% did not prevent us from uploading a test malware – and 89% did not prevent us from uploading PDF files with embedded JavaScript.

89

The problem is not limited to E-Recruiting. All SAP internet-facing applications are at risk.
Your day-to-day work might focus on SAP. Or it might focus on information security. But if SAP cybersecurity isn’t on your radar, you could be jeopardizing your entire company.
The average ERP cybersecurity breach causes $5 million USD in damages.
Doesn’t Our Anti-Virus Protect Us?
Operating system anti-virus software does an excellent job protecting your system files from malware attacks. However, when it comes to protecting your SAP system, it falls short.
Here's how:
1. When files are uploaded to SAP, the initial upload is encrypted bypassing the network-level anti-virus.
2. The file is stored in an SAP-proprietary data repository (database or content server) instead of to standard disk volumes, so the anti-virus program does not catch them in regular system scans.
3. Process protection on the server does not see the malware in action, as it only gets run on the client when the file is retrieved as part of a business process, and never gets executed on the protected server.
Your anti-virus protects your file system, but it does not protect your SAP.
There’s a Solution
With the right SAP security software, you can secure your SAP applications without having to perform coding on any of them. Imagine a solid umbrella of protection designed specifically for SAP, protecting your mission-critical applications and data with virtually no extra effort on your part and no discernable effect on user experience.
You can keep your company safe from content-based SAP cyberattacks and protect your assets, just by putting the right solution in place.
