⇨ The move to RISE with SAP must be secured to prevent any threat actors from taking advantage and breaking into the company’s confidential data.

⇨ The organization should take necessary measures to protect the RISE with SAP landscape and is ultimately responsible for what enters their RISE with SAP landscape.

⇨ The integration of Fortinet's cybersecurity solutions provides high protection and enables smooth operations for optimized performance, preventing any disruption or downtime.

Companies are increasingly moving towards cloud-based solutions to increase agility, efficiency and to ensure streamlined operations. RISE with SAP is a single solution to address multiple ERP needs of companies and it also provides a way for smooth cloud deployment. Through its single subscription model, it helps companies cut costs, optimize processes, and save time. Similar to any other digital transformation initiative, the move to RISE with SAP must also be secured to prevent any threat actors from taking advantage and breaking into the company’s confidential data.

RISE with SAP environment will also contain Fiori Launchpad applications which can be accessed by employees from anywhere. The organization should take necessary measures to protect the RISE with SAP landscape and is ultimately responsible for what enters their RISE with SAP landscape and keep a track of who gets access to the RISE with SAP landscape and to what extent. Eliminating the chance of any vulnerability can save companies’ resources by avoiding downtime.

A powerful cybersecurity solution protects companies against actions of threat actors in their RISE with SAP landscape. Cybersecurity experts like Fortinet help secure RISE with SAP and other SAP deployments in an organization. Fortinet focusses on the following key use-cases for securing RISE with SAP deployments.

Network Security: SAP traffic awareness and deep inspection of the Fortinet FortiGate Next Generation Firewall provides secure access to and from SAP servers as well as creates security zones to prevent breach transversal. FortiGate can also enforce zero trust policies, provide Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), virtual patching and anchor a secure Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN).

Securing SAP Solutions on-premises and in the cloud:  With Fortinet’s web application firewall (WAF) companies can ensure the security and performance of SAP solutions on-premises and in the cloud. FortiCNAPP (Cloud Native Application Protection Platform) can further secure RISE with SAP environments by integrating Fortinet security insights with network and security data from cloud-native systems to identify threats, misconfigurations, and compliance issues.

SAP Identity Management: Fortinet’s zero-trust solutions use FortiGate or FortiWeb (Web Application Firewall) as enforcement gateways and is included at no added cost.

Security operations center: FortiSOAR extends the Fortinet Security Fabric into the company’s security operations center (SOC), providing security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) along with innovative case management.

Fortinet’s security for RISE  with SAP utilizes a cloud security hub and it can be used to build a zero-trust architecture. It forms the core of a secure SD-WAN connecting headquarters, manufacturing sites and branch offices to SAP in the cloud.

The usage of SD-WAN allows the remote sites to connect more easily to networks, data centers, and/or multiple-clouds with lower latency and more reliable connectivity. With the addition of FortiClient on users’ devices, the same architecture can be used to enforce zero trust policies.

Fortinet’s security solutions dynamically identify and apply security and routing policies to ports used by SAP. To ensure high level of security and protect confidential data available in the SAP systems, companies need to protect data across entire hybrid landscapes and secure custom web applications hosted in the RISE with SAP environment. The integration of Fortinet’s solutions with RISE with SAP enhances security and enables smooth operations for optimized performance. By implementing these cybersecurity measures, companies can confidently transition to a cloud-based ERP solution like RISE with SAP, knowing that their data and operations are well protected against potential cyber threats.
