SAP Vulnerability Management
The Challenge of SAP Vulnerability Management
Business-critical applications like SAP and Oracle are increasingly under attack. Sophisticated threat actors are directly targeting the application layer, often using exploit chaining to transform minor vulnerabilities into significant security incidents.
The growing complexity of application landscapes, expanding backlogs of critical patches, and under-resourced teams leave organizations struggling to address this risk. Many lack the deep systems visibility and business context required to effectively identify, prioritize, and remediate critical vulnerabilities across their entire ERP security landscape.
Key Components of an Effective Program
A strong vulnerability management program is the first step in addressing ERP application security and minimizing your attack surface. Unfortunately, even the best vulnerability management programs are poorly supported by legacy vulnerability assessment technology used by InfoSec teams. To understand and act on the true risk to your most important assets, you need the following:
Application-Aware Vulnerability Analysis
Traditional vulnerability management tools do not sufficiently identify the true organizational risk in complex ERP landscapes. Relying on manual security reviews is time-consuming and requires deep internal expertise to keep up with current security best practices and the evolving threat landscape.
Threat Intelligence for Business-Context Prioritization
Security teams are often under-resourced and new to ERP systems. They don’t have time to deep-dive into every potential vulnerability. An effective SAP vulnerability management program requires impactful research and business context to help teams focus their efforts on the threats that pose the greatest risk to their specific environment.
Streamlined Collaboration for Faster Remediation
Security teams are generally responsible for investigating and prioritizing vulnerabilities, but IT and application teams handle the actual remediation. Bridging this gap is crucial. A successful program requires a solution that facilitates easy cross-team collaboration to minimize the time to remediation and ensure effective SAP Security
