There are many methods for assessing the risk potential of SAP landscapes and identifying potential vulnerabilities, so it isn’t always easy to keep track of all the alternatives. Options range from vulnerability scans to audits and penetration tests. But which approach is the right one for identifying vulnerabilities depends entirely on your individual requirements.

Detect and Eliminate Vulnerabilities in SAP Systems – Thanks to Security Audit and RFC Interface Analysis
SAP systems require special attention when it comes to their security and this is no longer news to anyone. More often than not, the ERP systems supplied from Walldorf in Baden-Württemberg store some of the most crucial and sensitive company data. That said, what is the best approach to achieving the optimum level of security? A security audit would fit the bill!
Audit or Penetration testing? Find your vulnerabilities before you get hurt!
To answer the question of which Security & Compliance check is right for you, we must first remember that the term “vulnerabilities” can refer to very different levels of your system landscape and thus refer to a number of attack vectors.
This ranges from system-side levels (e.g. operating system and network security) to the underlying database including the current parameterization of your SAP systems down to the authorizations required for operations and applications, including any SoD conflicts.
So, the first question is – how sure are you that you know where your vulnerabilities are? Continue reading
Unprotected interfaces are attractive Targets for attackers.
Analyze the RFC interfaces of your SAP Systems.
SAP interfaces are often not considered when SAP systems are protected. Therefore, they remain unprotected and provide attractive targets for attackers.
Experience from numerous SAP security audits and penetration tests for SAP systems shows repeatedly that, in almost every SAP system checked, unprotected interfaces exist that could allow attackers direct access to your SAP Systems.
