SAP Introduces Security Service
SAP announced that it will begin offering customers a new security service aimed at tightening down their existing SAP systems.
SAP, one of the world’s foremost business software makers, has dubbed the package “SAP Security Optimization” (SSO).
As a platform, it searches for vulnerabilities in the system, other SAP applications, third party applications, middleware, interfaces as well as externally facing gateways to determine if there is an issue that needs fixed.
While the initial evaluation can take upwards of a couple of days, customers do receive a very comprehensive evaluation of security issues and vulnerabilities which are prioritized according to severity and probability—as well as a detailed plan of attack on how to deal with the issues.
