Onapsis to Demonstrate Importance of SAP Security During Black Hat USA 2020

BOSTON – July 31, 2020Onapsis, the leader in mission-critical application cybersecurity and compliance, today announced members of the Onapsis Research Labs are presenting significant SAP cybersecurity research at Black Hat USA 2020. In its 23rd year, Black Hat USA is the world’s leading information security event which brings together the best minds in the industry. This year’s virtual format will provide remote attendees with the latest security research, developments, and trends.

During the event, Onapsis will showcase its latest threat research for SAP Solution Manager (SolMan). Onapsis researchers will take attendees through a security assessment of SAP SolMan, critical vulnerabilities found by Onapsis and reported to SAP, exploitation examples, how SAP has fixed these issues, and what organizations can do to detect and protect these threats moving forward.

“SAP SolMan is the technical heart of an SAP landscape. It is highly connected and can perform various administration activities remotely on all connected SAP systems,” said Juan Pablo Perez-Etchegoyen, CTO at Onapsis. “However, when speaking about protecting SAP systems, landscapes tend to be large and complex, so SAP SolMan can often go overlooked. Our research highlights critical vulnerabilities and dangerous threats connected to SAP SolMan and why it’s crucial to keeping the rest of your SAP system secure.”

  • Presenters: Pablo Artuso, Security Researcher, Onapsis; Yvan Genuer, Senior Security Researcher, Onapsis
  • When: Wednesday, August 5, 2020 from 11:00 am – 11:40 am PT

Abstract: SAP’s software relationship with the enterprise is well established, often responsible for processing billions of dollars, but with such a vital role in business, what would the impact be if serious flaws were exploited? At the heart of every SAP deployment there is always one core mandatory product that’s connected to many other systems: The SAP SolMan. Given the criticality of this component, the Onapsis Research Labs conducted a thorough security assessment of SAP SolMan to understand the threat model, how attackers could compromise it and how customers should protect themselves.
