How to Improve Business Results through Secure Single Sign-on to SAP

SECUDE International AG

CIOs and IT managers face tremendous demands today to reduce IT costs, improve user productivity and create an IT environment that complies with best practices for IT risk management and regulations. Efficient and secure user access to SAP is a specific challenge in today’s powerful but also complex and heterogeneous SAP environments. Weak user authentication with static passwords and unencrypted communication between users’ workstations and the backend SAP servers is a significant vulnerability to your SAP environment. This can put the availability of your SAP environment, the confidential data inside your SAP systems, and your entire business activity at risk. And it exposes your company and its management to potential compliance issues with regulations and data privacy laws. These challenges can be solved with a secure single sign-on solution for SAP, which has been proven to increase security and save significant costs.
This whitepaper shows how to improve your company’s business results by improving SAP user and IT productivity, and by avoiding specific IT security risks within your SAP environment. You will get insights into the security situation around communication in distributed SAP environments, you’ll get an overview of Secure Network Communications (SNC), and you will find selection criteria for 3rd-party solutions that enable the use of SNC. Last but not least, you will learn how strong protection can be implemented efficiently and with the flexibility you need to adjust to your company’s specific situation.
