Application Security – Close Helm Security

Why security should take centre stage in your S/4HANA migration

If you have not already started your migration towards S/4HANA, then you will no doubt be starting it very soon. But there is much more to this migration than meets the eye.

Transitioning to a new security model at the same time is not just a ‘golden’ opportunity, but it’s a critical demand. Only then can your organisation take full advantage of new ways of working, and of the flexibility and agility that S/4HANA can provide. And of course, at the same time, you can give yourself the confidence that your data, systems, and applications are as safe as they can be.

Many organisations are therefore planning their migration already, in order to minimise the risk of any costly delays or disruption along the way. We’re finding that many systems integrators are downplaying the process as a ‘brownfield migration’: that is to say, a simple ‘lift and shift’ that’s designed to be as hassle-free as possible. However, the S/4HANA migration could – and should – be so much more than that, especially from a security perspective.

SAP Access Management: Beyond The Application Layer

With the vast majority of SAP user activity taking place at the application level, it stands to reason that security professionals should focus their access management efforts in this domain. Yet in doing so, they often neglect the infrastructure on which those applications run – despite the fact that all data stored in the programme layer is equally available via this infrastructure.
