In recent years it has become more and more clear that migrating to the cloud could be highly beneficial for SAP users. With the economic demand for production and consistently growing globalization, innovative features like automation, AI, and unified systems are proving to help many businesses stay afloat on the international market. However, what happens during the process of migration? How can companies protect their sensitive data while the process of migration has not finished yet?
When organizations embark on the cloud migration journey, the digital transformation requires multiple steps to be taken. Depending on the type of cloud migration that a company chooses, be it datacenter, hybrid, cloud to cloud, or application migration, there is a point at which data needs to be transferred. With the growing concerns around data and cyber security, companies need to consider how they are going to protect their valuable information.
One of the most effective ways of doing that is by deploying the SAP Cloud Connector, especially with the help of SAP-certified consulting firms like Xiting. It is a versatile tool that plays a pivotal role in managing a hybrid SAP system landscape. The connector acts as a secure conduit between an on-premise system and the SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP).
While it is possible to find an alternative method for SAP Cloud products to communicate with internal systems, such as exposing these systems directly to the Internet, it is a much riskier approach. This is because it may pose significant security risks, requiring firewall openings that could potentially invite attacks on the systems.
Therefore, by leveraging the power of SAP Cloud Connector with the assistance of expertise from consulting firms like Xiting, businesses can truly embrace the advantages of a hybrid cloud strategy, enjoying the best of both on-premise and cloud worlds, ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of their data. This way, SAP users can significantly improve their IT operations and processes while protecting vulnerable data at the same time.
