Book Description
This book is intended for every CISO or security manager who wants to be sure in the security of his or her "crown jewels" namely Enterprise Business applications and ERP systems. If you did not hear about SAP or its cybersecurity aspects, this book is also for you. Interest in SAP security is skyrocketing and the main factor driving this concernment is a plethora of cyberattacks. As SAP systems enable all the critical business processes from procurement, payment and transport to human resources management, product management and financial planning, all data stored in SAP systems can be used in espionage, sabotage or fraud. As an example, breaches revealed in the SAP system of USIS, a government contractor, are resulted in the company's bankruptcy. Analysts from Gartner, IDC, 451 Research, KuppingerCole and Quocirca agreed on the significance of ERP security tests and lack of this functionality in traditional tools. Indeed, Gartner added Business Application Security to the Hype Cycle of Application Security in 2017 since an innovative niche, and top consulting companies have already included ERP security services in the portfolio. Are you prepared for changes and do you have qualified expertise and stable processes to address ERP security market?This book incorporates 10 years of SAP cybersecurity history. It starts with the history of SAP cybersecurity and answers to questions why and how SAP cybersecurity differs from IT security. Then the most critical risks for organizations are described. You will be able to catch the details of all SAP systems such as ABAP or HANA and their vulnerabilities supported by the real-life examples of attacks on SAP systems. Finally, the book provides guidelines on establishing processes to secure SAP systems from different angles including secure development, SoD, vulnerability management, threat detection, and anomaly user behavior.The end of this book contains an Appendix with SAP Cybersecurity Framework, a guide to SAP security that implements Gartner's approach to adaptive security architecture in ERP security realm describing four categories of SAP protection processes: predictive, preventive, detective and responsive. The Framework articulates 20 critical areas of actions, describes the desired outcomes and provides a three-step approach to succeed in each area of ERP security. The Framework is a perfect step-by-step guide on operationalizing SAP cybersecurity.

Book Description
SAP environments are internally integrated with, and through, cloud and hybrid cloud solutions. This interconnection, both within and external to the firewall, creates a level of vulnerability that, if exploited, could compromise a company’s intellectual property, employee and supplier information, and trade secrets. This book breaks down the application of cybersecurity, as it applies to SAP, into actionable items that can be communicated and implemented into existing security frameworks. You will understand why cybersecurity applies to SAP, how it integrates with cybersecurity Initiatives within an organization, and how to implement a security framework within SAP. This expertly written guide provides a targeted cybersecurity education for SAP managers, architects, and security practitioners. The author explores the technical aspects of implementing cybersecurity policies and procedures using existing tools and available SAP modules. Readers will gain a solid understanding of what a cybersecurity program does, what security frameworks are used for, how to assess and understand risk, and how to apply mitigating controls. By using practical examples, tips, and screenshots, this book covers: - Cyber risk in the SAP landscape - How to harden security - Cybersecurity risk management programs in SA - Risk mitigation for threats

Book Description
There is a lot of misunderstanding about how to apply cybersecurity principles to SAP software. Management expects that the SAP security team is prepared to implement a full cybersecurity project to integrate SAP software into a new or existing company cybersecurity program. It’s not that simple. This book provides a practical entry point to cybersecurity governance that is easy for an SAP team to understand and use. It breaks the complex subject of SAP cybersecurity governance down into simplified language, accelerating your efforts by drawing direct correlation to the work already done for financial audit compliance. Build a practical framework for creating a cyber risk ruleset in SAP GRC 12.0, including SOX, CMMC, and NIST controls. Learn how to plan a project to implement a cyber framework for your SAP landscape. Explore controls and how to create control statements, plan of action and milestone (POA&M) statements for remediating deficiencies, and how to document con- trols that are not applicable. The best controls in the world will not lead to a successful audit without the evidence to back them up. Learn about evidence management best practices, including evidence requirements, how reviews should be conducted, who should sign off on review evidence, and how this evidence should be retained. - Introduction to cybersecurity framework compliance for SAP software - SAP-centric deep dive into controls - How to create a cyber risk ruleset in SAP GRC - Implementing a cyber framework for your SAP landscape

Book Description
The first section of this book addresses the evolution of CISO (chief information security officer) leadership, with the most mature CISOs combining strong business and technical leadership skills. CISOs can now add significant value when they possess an advanced understanding of cutting-edge security technologies to address the risks from the nearly universal operational dependence of enterprises on the cloud, the Internet, hybrid networks, and third-party technologies demonstrated in this book. In our new cyber threat-saturated world, CISOs have begun to show their market value. Wall Street is more likely to reward companies with good cybersecurity track records with higher stock valuations. To ensure that security is always a foremost concern in business decisions, CISOs should have a seat on corporate boards, and CISOs should be involved from beginning to end in the process of adopting enterprise technologies. The second and third sections of this book focus on building strong security teams, and exercising prudence in cybersecurity. CISOs can foster cultures of respect through careful consideration of the biases inherent in the socio-linguistic frameworks shaping our workplace language and through the cultivation of cyber exceptionalism. CISOs should leave no stone unturned in seeking out people with unique abilities, skills, and experience, and encourage career planning and development, in order to build and retain a strong talent pool. The lessons of the breach of physical security at the US Capitol, the hack back trend, and CISO legal liability stemming from network and data breaches all reveal the importance of good judgment and the necessity of taking proactive stances on preventative measures. This book will target security and IT engineers, administrators and developers, CIOs, CTOs, CISOs, and CFOs. Risk personnel, CROs, IT, security auditors and security researchers will also find this book useful.

Book Description
Throughout the world, high-profile large organizations (aerospace and defense, automotive, banking, chemicals, financial service providers, healthcare, high tech, insurance, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, retail, telecommunications, and utilities) and governments are using SAP software to process their most mission-critical, highly sensitive data. With more than 100,000 installations, SAP is the world's largest enterprise software company and the world's third largest independent software supplier overall. Despite this widespread use, there have been very few books written on SAP implementation and security, despite a great deal of interest. (There are 220,000 members in an on-line SAP 'community' seeking information, ideas and tools on the IT Toolbox Website alone.) Managing SAP user authentication and authorizations is becoming more complex than ever, as there are more and more SAP products involved that have very different access issues. It's a complex area that requires focused expertise. This book is designed for these network and systems administrator who deal with the complexity of having to make judgmental decisions regarding enormously complicated and technical data in the SAP landscape, as well as pay attention to new compliance rules and security regulations. Most SAP users experience significant challenges when trying to manage and mitigate the risks in existing or new security solutions and usually end up facing repetitive, expensive re-work and perpetuated compliance challenges. This book is designed to help them properly and efficiently manage these challenges on an ongoing basis. It aims to remove the 'Black Box' mystique that surrounds SAP security. The most comprehensive coverage of the essentials of SAP security currently available: risk and control management, identity and access management, data protection and privacy, corporate governance, legal and regulatory compliance This book contains information about SAP security that is not available anywhere else to help the reader avoid the "gotchas" that may leave them vulnerable during times of upgrade or other system changes Companion Web site provides custom SAP scripts, which readers can download to install, configure and troubleshoot SAP
