Defending the Gateway to Your SAP Landscape
Prevent Unauthorized Access Through SAP Web Dispatcher with Proactive Vulnerability Management & Continuous Monitoring
Many SAP customers rely on SAP Web Dispatcher as a reverse proxy and load balancer to route incoming HTTP(S) traffic from end users to backend SAP systems. Whether these end users are employees accessing Fiori apps or business unit functions, partners accessing vendor portals or managing POs, or customers accessing self-service portals or account management – Web Dispatcher serves as the primary gateway for all Internet requests to the SAP applications and services that drive your business.
While frequently treated as a minor connectivity component, Web Dispatcher’s role as a central entrypoint makes it a high-stakes target. If successfully exploited, attackers can interfere with traffic routing, potentially causing service disruptions or business outages, or leverage that initial access to move laterally toward your core business data.
To secure this primary gateway, especially as the demand for web-based access from employees, partners, and vendors continues to scale, organizations must implement a dual strategy of proactive hardening and real-time visibility. Onapsis Assess hardens your Web Dispatcher by pinpointing insecure configurations and missing Security Notes, while Onapsis Defend provides continuous monitoring to catch unauthorized access and exploit activity before they can disrupt operations or move deeper into your landscape. By unifying these defenses, you significantly reduce your Web Dispatcher’s attack surface and slash the time required to detect and respond to threats.
