The book serves as a practical guide for SAP professionals, offering actionable security roadmaps using the SAP Secure Operations Map and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF). It includes step-by-step instructions for securing infrastructure and networks, making it an essential resource for SAP administrators and security teams.
“We are in 2025, and many organizations still hold misconceptions about SAP security, leaving them vulnerable to significant risks,” said Perez-Etchegoyen. “This book will help SAP and IT security professionals understand the unique challenges of SAP cybersecurity.”
This text aims to set the standard for how SAP professionals can adopt cybersecurity best practices and reduce risks across their landscapes.
“Over a decade ago, Onapsis coined the term ‘SAP Cybersecurity’ to help raise awareness that ‘traditional’ SAP security controls were not enough to protect SAP from increasing cyber threats. Now, our CTO has co-authored the definitive guide on this topic and published it with the support of SAP PRESS,” said Nunez. “This book will become a foundational asset for SAP administrators, risk and security professionals to gain the knowledge and guidance they need to protect their business-critical SAP applications holistically.”
SAPinsider will take place at the Bellagio in Las Vegas from March 18–20, 2025. Attendees can visit Onapsis at Booth #1415 for insights and networking opportunities.
What This Means for SAPinsiders
Adopt a learning mindset to ensure cybersecurity is paramount within your organization. SAPinsider research shows that Pressure to keep systems secure from ransomware and malware attacks is the top driver that determines how SAP organizations set up their cybersecurity posture. This is only growing more difficult as the frequency and type of attacks expands each year. Between the “Cybersecurity for SAP” book and the patches Onapsis works to develop with SAP, the company is on the cutting edge of SAP Cybersecurity. Organizations should take note of its recommendations and incorporate them into their critical cybersecurity practices.
Understanding key frameworks is essential to establishing security road maps. Robust cybersecurity within SAP systems is a journey, not a destination. However, companies should ensure that they have in-depth roadmaps that can keep them pointed in the right direction. One of the underpinning principles of these roadmaps comes from security frameworks like the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, which offers critical guideposts that companies can use along the way.
Adopt a holistic approach to securing SAP systems. Though every SAP company has some form of security, many still have blind spots and attack vectors that may be unprotected. Companies should adopt a holistic approach, taking into account their entire attack surface to better identify risk and protect critical systems and data within SAP deployments.
