SAP applications contain large amounts of sensitive data. From protected personal information to privileged financial data, this data always harbors risks that companies must deal with, because SAP ERP does not have any built-in masking functions for custom-tailored anonymization in views. As such, the unchecked disclosure of data represents a potential leak, opening up a huge target for potential exploitation. Although add-ons and solutions from SAP and third parties are available to tackle this problem, significant challenges still remain.
