Onapsis, the global leader in SAP cybersecurity and compliance, has officially announced the launch of significant updates for its Onapsis Platform.
According to certain reports, the stated updates arrive bearing an ability to address the rising security challenges that SAP customers face as they modernize their systems and migrate to SAP S/4HANA and RISE with SAP environments. More on the same would reveal how these updates cover Control (application security testing), Defend (threat monitoring), and the Onapsis Platform’s Security Advisor (SAP security posture and AI-driven guidance).
“With highly advanced threat actors increasingly targeting SAP applications, SAP security is more mission-critical than ever before,” said Mariano Nunez, CEO of Onapsis. “Coupled with SAP customers’ accelerated move to the cloud through RISE with SAP and the upcoming 2027 S/4HANA migration deadline, the demand for robust SAP application security has never been higher.”
Talk about these newly-introduced updates on a slightly deeper level, we begin from the promise to integrate security into DevOps with Control Central. As a result, the stated Control Central now integrates with Microsoft Azure Pipelines, and at the same time, offers enhanced support for SAP Transport Management System (TMS), thus empowering teams to embed automated code security scans, and quality gates directly into CI/CD workflows.
Such a mechanism should be able to secure and optimize change management processes, making it possible for organizations to reduce critical code security and compliance issues that may cause late-stage security disruptions in productive environments. The overarching idea here relates to accelerating project timelines by a significant margin.
Next up, there is potential for accessing alerts on anything ABAP with Defend, which now enjoys the means to help clients customize their bespoke alerts based on virtually any activity in ABAP logs. This gives security teams unprecedented customizability in the context of structuring alerts to fit their specific organizational needs for risk reduction and compliance.
Another detail worth a mention is rooted in the availability of model improvements and enhanced SAP Security Guidance with the Onapsis Security Advisor. Understood the be the industry’s first AI-driven Security Advisor for SAP security and compliance, the technology now offers expanded trend analysis, new custom visualization tools, and widgets, including the “Age of Issues” tracker. All these components will come together to help customers better understand their SAP risk profile, prioritize high impact actions, and demonstrate their organization’s security progress over time.
Alongside that, the technology will continue to tap into Onapsis’ 15+ years of SAP security expertise, data from thousands of engagements, and anonymized insights from hundreds of customers.
Among other things, we ought to mention that the given updates will be available by the end of Q2 2025, with pricing and further details available through Onapsis sales representatives or authorized systems integrators.
“SAP applications are increasingly under threat, and organizations accelerating their move to S/4HANA through RISE with SAP must build security into every phase of their transformation,” said Sadik Al-Abdulla, Chief Product Officer at Onapsis. “With these new capabilities, we continue to deliver to customers the deep visibility, faster security automation, and critical threat intelligence needed to stay ahead of threat actors, minimize risk, and keep SAP modernization projects moving forward without security or compliance impediments.”
Founded in 2009, Onapsis’ rise up the ranks stems from helping organizations securely accelerate their SAP cloud digital transformations with confidence. The company’s proprietary platform is presently provides industry-leading solutions centered on automated compliance, vulnerability management, threat detection, and secure development for their RISE with SAP, S/4HANA Cloud and hybrid SAP applications.
Onapsis’ excellence in what it does can also be understood once you consider it is serving, at the moment, various heavyweights like Siemens, Roche, American Navy, Colgate, DOW, Sony, Levi’s, and many others.
“Together, SAP and Onapsis provide enhanced security for RISE with SAP. SAP delivers a highly-secure and compliant RISE with SAP cloud infrastructure, enabling customers to focus solely on securing their SAP applications and data. Onapsis strategically complements SAP’s role, delivering the essential security and compliance capabilities customers need to achieve this,” said Roland Costea, CISO, RISE with SAP.
