Do YOU Know What YOUR Security Responsibilities Are Under RISE?

SAP landscape complexity creates big security challenges. Moving to SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud Edition (PCE) as part of the RISE with SAP program offers a clean slate opportunity for organizations. As part of RISE with SAP, customers benefit from high-caliber, secure cloud infrastructure and various security services managed by SAP. However, it’s important to remember that SAP will not cover all security for your RISE with SAP deployment.

Don’t forget your responsibilities under the Shared Security Model. With an expanding attack surface for SAP, it’s more important than ever to ensure you are protecting your most critical SAP systems. Don’t let lack of knowledge, gaps in experience, or negligence of your half of SAP security required under RISE set your company up for larger security and compliance financial costs later.

Like all cloud offerings, RISE with SAP splits security ownership between the cloud provider - in this case, SAP - and you, the cloud customer. While this may vary from customer to customer, in general, SAP is responsible for security of the cloud, and you own security for what goes into the cloud.

RISE with SAP: Shared Responsibility Model Examples

SAP: Security OF the Cloud

You: Security IN the Cloud

OS and cloud platform maintenance, backup, and availability

Quality and security of all migrated or new code, transports, and change management

Manage their technical support users who have minimal access to applications and data

Manage all other users (including 3rd party access from GSIs or contractors), levels of authorization and access, and what they do with your data.

Owns immediate patching of most critical “HotNews” Security Notes. Patching for non-HotNews Security Notes is handled by support requests based on predetermined patching windows.

Owns determining which “non-HotNews” Security Notes (i.e., High, Medium, Low) that SAP should prioritize and apply as well as when.

24/7 security monitoring of the cloud platform

Security audit logging and any related issues

Compliance for the platform provided

Compliance for the organization, including data, users, access, business processes, etc.

As you can see above, you and your organization ultimately bear responsibility for what goes into your RISE with SAP landscape as well as who accesses it and what they do with that access. Therefore, it’s essential that you maintain control over all phases of SAP application security - from Application Development to Application Testing and Change Management to Application Protection (when in production).

If you’re successful in doing so, you’ll reap some appealing financial benefits:

Spreading security throughout all phases will reduce the financial burden on InfoSec, freeing them up to focus on other value-generating activities

Your digital transformation projects will be more likely to finish on time, securely, and within budget, due to the elimination of time-draining security issues requiring repetitive work.

Eliminating vulnerabilities that cause expensive downtime of critical systems earlier in development will drastically reduce your project costs

The Challenge
Application Development teams take shortcuts and write bad ABAP or HANA code

The Solution
Control secures AppDev code as they work, eliminating errors and vulnerabilities.

The Challenge:
Quality Assurance (QA) and manual code reviews miss the security vulnerabilities in code

The Solution:
Control helps QA scan all new and migrated code alone or in bulk for security issues before transport.

The Challenge
Bad code from both internal and external teams goes through change management without the proper controls

The Solution
Control for Transports scans code and construct of transports to stop bad code from being deployed to production.

The Challenge
Ensuring SAP is configured securely with the correct user access and authorization levels.

The Solution
Assess easily detects security misconfigurations and user misauthorizations and helps prioritize remediation

The Challenge
Hard to know which new/missing “non-HotNews” Security Notes should be escalated to and prioritized first by SAP support

The Solution
Assess scans your attack surface and uses ORL threat intel and AI to help you prioritize the right Security Notes for SAP.

The Challenge
Security audit logging and tracking all authorized user activity can be very challenging for organizations.

The Solution
Defend monitors user activity and alerts you to security audit log issues or anomalous behavior.

The Challenge
Evolving threats make it harder to detect and mitigate malicious external and internal threat activity

The Solution
Defend monitors for real-time attacks and provides pre-patch protection from zero-days before Security Notes are available and applied

The Challenge
Your teams are spending way too many hours on compliance activities instead of value-generating work.

The Solution
Comply does the heavy lifting for audit evidence collection, saving valuable time for teams.
