Onapsis, the global leader in SAP cybersecurity and compliance, has officially announced the launch of major updates for its Onapsis Platform.
According to certain reports, this particular upgrade includes the launch of three new capabilities i.e. the SAP Notes Command Center, Rapid Controls for Dangerous Exploits, and Alert on Anything for SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP). More on the same would reveal how, when leveraged together, these enhancements should tread up a long distance to help organizations access deeper insights, greater visibility, and new automation avenues, each component capable of strengthening their SAP application security posture.
To understand the significance of such a development, we must take into account how SAP application security is currently living a strenuous reality, with the industry up against a record number of attacks targeting business-critical applications and leaving thousands of enterprises compromised.
Against that, Onapsis brings forth a mechanism which can proactively discover threat activity with enhanced exploit detection rules, and at the same time, streamline all SAP security measures on the back of task prioritization and patch validation.
“Onapsis’ unique insights and unmatched data set put us at the forefront of application security,” said Sadik Al-Abdulla, Chief Product Officer at Onapsis. “With the launch of these new enhancements, organizations are able to take control of their SAP security by proactively addressing any vulnerabilities and automatically identifying assets that aren’t protected in their security landscape but could weaken or cause disruption to their SAP applications.”
Talk about the whole value proposition on a slightly deeper level, we begin from a dedicated SAP Notes Command Center in Assess. This particular center makes it possible for users to anticipate SAP patch days, prioritize tasks, and at the same time, provide insights into SAP Note applications.
The stated new dashboard also arrives bearing an ability to eliminate the time spent on false positives, reduce the risk of undetected vulnerabilities as well as automatically ensure that all patches, including manual configurations and workarounds, are applied correctly.
Next up, we have an assortment of rapid controls coming into play. These controls basically leverage Asan Defend’s unique exploit detection rules to monitor for threat activity targeting the most dangerous SAP vulnerabilities. Not just that, they can also proactively address the risk of critical vulnerabilities and support regulatory requirements, such as EU NIS2 and US SEC rules.
Another detail worth a mention is rooted in the prospect of alert on anything for SAP BTP, something which empowers organizations to customize and expand their BTP threat monitoring, all for the purpose of providing users with the flexibility needed to manage security controls tailored as per individual use cases.
Rounding up highlights would be potential to access expanded coverage analysis in Onapsis Security Advisor. Such a comprehensive piece of analysis can come in handy to automatically identify assets in a customer’s security landscape that are not being actively monitored for threats, thus expanding their visibility to detect and act on any potential unmonitored critical systems across their SAP business landscapes.
Founded in 2009, Onapsis’ rise up the ranks stems from empowering Cybersecurity and SAP teams with automated compliance, vulnerability management, threat detection, and secure development for their RISE with SAP, S/4HANA Cloud and hybrid SAP applications.
The company’s excellence in what it does can also be understood once you consider it is currently trusted by the world’s leading organizations to securely accelerate their SAP cloud digital transformations. Some of these organizations are understood to be Roche, Siemens, American Navy, Dow, Colgate, Sony, IPG, Levi’s, and more.
“This is a pivotal time in SAP security. Organizations no longer have the time to spend sorting through false positives or wondering if a patch is applied correctly; instead, they need security solutions that are customizable to their business and attack surface,” said Mariano Nunez, CEO of Onapsis. “The new capabilities in our Assess and Defend products, as well as the expansion of our platform, provide our customers with the technologies they need to keep ahead of sophisticated threat actors, protect their most valuable data, and achieve business resilience.”
