SAP S/4HANA migration projects are a huge undertaking involving your organization’s most mission-critical applications. Your business relies on these applications to function, so ensuring they stay secure, compliant, and available throughout migration and beyond is absolutely critical.
Digital transformations promise efficiencies, customer satisfaction and new revenue opportunities, but they also vastly expand a company’s risk surface across new cloud, mobile applications and next-generation database technologies. CISOs must adapt their organizations to this new attack surface, or face the consequences.
Secure your business-critical applications. Here are five reasons why you need vulnerability management capabilities for SAP, Oracle, and other enterprise systems.
A critical cybersecurity blind spot impacting how many organizations protect their business-critical SAP applications is detailed in this joint report from Onapsis and SAP. Learn how threat actors are actively targeting these unprotected SAP applications.
Mission-critical applications such as ERP, Financial Management, HCM, CRM, PLM, and SCM are essential for achieving your organization’s strategic objectives—which is why you should focus on the associated risks and costs of security, privacy, and regulatory compliance.
To evaluate and quantify the value of solutions that are designed to help manage your risks and reduce your operational costs, start by establishing a proper understanding of risk.

You will also be able to download a knowledge brief to learn about how Best-in-Class companies utilize the dual role of contemporary IT and Security professionals in order to make strategic decisions to meet business objectives.
The aim of this publication is to fully introduce and explain the concept of Remote Function Call (RFC) and the impact on the Gateway and Message Server. We will focus not only on the importance of it, but also how to implement secure communication in your landscape.
Onapsis strives to provide the most complete security coverage from SAP for our customers in The Onapsis Platform (OP). It contains several modules in order to detect security levels of the RFCs, the Gateway and the Message Server.

Onapsis transport inspection is based on over 150 test cases that have been developed over many years of experience with customer projects, focusing on five main areas security, compliance, robustness, maintainability and data loss prevention. Addressing transport issues from multiple angles helps ensure your applications remain secure, compliant and stable. Below are some examples of what is covered by each area.
Security
Compliance
Robustness
Maintainability
Data Leak Prevention
All discovered issues include a level of criticality, an explanation of the vulnerability, business impact and remediation guidance. This gives you essential context to understand if you want to accept the risk and how to prioritize remediation for those findings you elect to fix.
Transports, although essential for SAP change management, can also introduce harmful or incorrectly configured content that puts system security, compliance and stability at risk. Onapsis helps mitigate these risks by inspecting every transport (including third- party) before it is released or imported and continuously monitoring the transport queue for critical security findings.
There are two main types of implementation for transport inspection-“real time” transport inspection, which addresses all five types of issues described above, and continuous monitoring of the transport queue, which focuses on security and compliance.
The first implementation type integrates at two critical steps of the standard transport process-first, before a transport is released and exported from the development system and second, before a transport is imported into production. While the focus of the first integration point is more on security and compliance, the added value of the second integration point lies in the knowledge about which transports will be imported together. This enables the transport inspection to identify potential missing objects as well as any downgrades to be expected.
Step 1: Scan Each Transport Automatically before Export/Release
Focuses on security and compliance. Nevertheless, checks on missing objects are also possible by analyzing the transport’s objects and checking how they fit into the QA system.
Example “real-time” scan results in Eclipse development environment.
Step 2: Scan Transports Automatically before Import
Focuses on object completeness and consistency. In order to do that, all transports that are marked for import are analyzed together. The aggregated object list of all those transports is checked for referenced objects that are missing-and thus would result in import errors, downgrades, outages and performance problems.
Example inspection results from prior to transport import.
The second implementation type is not directly integrated into the transport process-instead, it is based on continuous monitoring of the transport queue, focusing solely on identifying security and compliance issues (e.g., new objects or content that would bring vulnerabilities into the production environment and potentially harm the system or lead to data theft or data loss).

Onapsis code analysis is based on extensive test cases that Onapsis has developed over its many years of experience with customer projects, with a database containing patterns of the relevant practices for insecure coding, bad quality or slow code. Test cases fall into six domains, addressing code issues from all angles to ensure your applications remain secure, compliant and available. Below are some examples of common vulnerabilities by domain:
Security
Performance
Maintainability
Robustness
Data Loss Prevention
All discovered issues include criticality, an explanation of the vulnerability, business impact and remediation guidance. This gives you essential context to understand if you want to accept the risk and how to prioritize remediation for those findings you elect to fix.
Manual code reviews are labor-intensive, error-prone and often fail to find all critical issues. Onapsis solves this problem by providing automatic analysis for SAP custom code, allowing you to find security, compliance and quality issues in the shortest possible time.
There are multiple options for implementing Onapsis code analysis into your application development and change management processes. Many customers use a combination of approaches.
