Threat Detection & Response
Stop threats before they disrupt your business. Detect, investigate, and respond to potential cyber threats targeting your business-critical SAP applications with the only SAP-endorsed solution for enterprise threat detection.
What Is SAP Threat Detection and Response?
SAP enterprise threat detection is a specialized cybersecurity discipline focused on continuously monitoring business-critical SAP applications for signs of malicious activity and unauthorized changes.
Unlike general network security, it involves analyzing the proprietary application layer where your business logic lives to monitor changes within SAP systems in real time. This allows teams to investigate root causes and orchestrate a swift response. You can neutralize threats before they lead to data breaches or ransomware events.
Key Capabilities for Effective SAP Threat Detection
To identify and act on potential threats before they disrupt your business, Onapsis equips your security teams with the following specialized capabilities:
Why Modern SAP Enterprise Threat Detection Is Business-Critical
Digital transformation and under-resourced teams have created a perfect storm. This leaves business-critical SAP applications more exposed than ever. As teams struggle with growing backlogs, the time to apply critical patches is increasing. This widens the window of vulnerability.
Threat actors have taken notice. They are actively targeting SAP systems with sophisticated attacks at an alarming pace. Many organizations, however, lack the specialized threat detection capabilities needed to secure these enterprise environments. This leaves their most critical data at risk.

How does Onapsis monitor changes within SAP systems?
Onapsis monitors changes by analyzing the SAP Change & Transport System (CTS) and direct table modifications. It alerts on unauthorized changes that bypass standard approval workflows, critical system configuration drifts, and direct manipulations of production data. This ensures the integrity of your application.
Can you recommend a platform that specializes in threat detection for cloud-based ERP systems?
Yes. Onapsis Defend is specifically architected to secure cloud-based ERP systems, including RISE with SAP, SAP S/4HANA Cloud, and SAP BTP. It provides the same deep level of visibility and threat detection for cloud environments as it does for on-premise systems.
What does Onapsis do to protect sensitive data in ERP systems?
Onapsis protects sensitive data (PII, PCI, IP) by monitoring for unauthorized access attempts, mass data downloads, and insecure connections. It validates that data encryption settings are correct and alerts on any activity that violates data sovereignty or privacy policies.
Can Onapsis help with securing on-site ERP systems?
Absolutely. Onapsis has deep roots in securing on-site (on-premise) ERP systems like SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA. Our agentless architecture allows for robust monitoring of on-site infrastructure without affecting performance or stability.
