In the current landscape of increasing cybersecurity threats, it is important that every company takes strong measures to protect their data and ensure that privacy is not breached. Conducting risk assessments frequently to identify vulnerabilities within the IT infrastructure is a significant step in preventing identity and access theft. There is a higher likelihood of these risks when companies undergo major IT infrastructure changes such as implementation of new ERP or moving enterprise workloads to the cloud.
With the 2027 end of maintenance approaching for SAP ECC, the move to SAP S/4HANA is accelerating. While making this move is beneficial, taking the required steps to ensure cybersecurity during this process is necessary to limit vulnerabilities and reduce risk. One company helping SAP customers with these challenges is oXya, a global leader in helping large and mid-size enterprises with cloud deployment, SAP S/4HANA, and RISE with SAP implementations. Cybersecurity is a focus area for oXya, helping companies ensure they can make a secure transition to the cloud, while implementing SAP S/4HANA in a secure way. Through continuous monitoring, threat detection, and proactive incident response, oXya ensures security and data protection.
Identity and access management (IAM) can become even more crucial during transitions like the move to SAP S/4HANA. oXya provides enhanced safety with its IAM solutions which can be customized to the specific needs of a company. This reduces business risk through Cloud Identity services which adopt policies given by the SAP Authorization Management service.

It is best to have a well-defined incident response plan in place, both before and after moving to the cloud or deploying SAP S/4HANA, to quickly address any breach. To mitigate risks, key stakeholders involved in maintaining and developing IT infrastructures should be trained periodically to be aware of the ever-evolving types of threats and to ensure a safe and updated IT infrastructure. oXya conducts security and privacy training sessions to educate employees on best practices that should be followed in all operations to reduce the risk of vulnerabilities.
“Drawing on our SAP expertise, we are able to integrate cybersecurity into the core of all our processes. In addition, oXya has developed special partnerships with recognized cybersecurity stakeholders who are benchmark organizations in their respective segments, and have strong ties to SAP themselves,” explained Emmanuel Dupont, CISO, oXya.
