Onapsis Announces Security Testing Solution: Control Central

The SAP cybersecurity specialists at Onapsis announced the release of its Control Central product. A new addition to the Onapsis Control suite of solutions, Control Central helps to facilitate RISE with SAP transformations by testing security and custom code to de-risk the digital transformation as a crucial element of the Onapsis Secure RISE Accelerator.

The solution expands the overall coverage that Onapsis can provide for application security testing. It broadens support for different platforms, languages, and environments while integrating more seamlessly into existing workflows. This helps users better accommodate larger projects, as the Git repository scanning includes ABAP and non-ABAP code, which reduces repetitive manual tasks.

“This is a natural next step following the launch of Onapsis Control support for SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP), which provides users with seamless, automated code scanning in SAP’s commonly used environments. With the release of Control Central, we continue to set the industry standard for SAP security and provide our customers with best-in-class application security testing capabilities,” said Sadik Al-Abdulla, Chief Product Officer of Onapsis. “Now is the time for customers to accelerate their RISE and S/4HANA adoption, and there is an urgent need to ensure that the code being developed is secure, compliant and free of vulnerabilities that could cause project delays or unplanned downtime in production environments. With Control Central, we’re empowering organizations with capabilities that more efficiently tackle the security complexities of a modern SAP S/4HANA and BTP codebase.”

Meeting the Market

As the end date for the end of maintenance of SAP ECC draws closer, SAP organizations are increasingly turning to RISE with SAP for their digital transformations. It is vital for these organizations to find solutions that help accelerate their transformation.

The Onapsis Control Central solution has been shown to reduce installation, deployment, and configuration time by up to 20%, reducing time to value and saving users time as they work on many important aspects of the transformation, especially securing the new environment.

As the name suggests, Control Central also offers centralization. Users can benefit from having access to a single, unified system that streamlines operations and ensures all members of an organization are utilizing best practices. It also reduces the overall footprint on satellite systems.

The solution also helps users comport to SAP’s Clean Core philosophy with its redesigned scan engine, ensuring that companies avoid taking on legacy and technical debt. This is an important component of RISE with SAP deployments, as it allows companies to operate with more agility.

Perhaps most importantly, Control Central can help fix common code errors with one click. As companies leverage RISE with SAP, quickly and effectively eliminating vulnerabilities will be an essential step that they cannot afford to ignore.

What This Means for SAPinsiders

Prioritize flexibility. When moving to a new environment through RISE with SAP, it is important that SAP organizations can remain nimble and operate in the new environment as they see fit. Solutions like Control Central that support multiple programming languages enable this flexibility, allowing organizations more choices on how to set up new deployments.

There is no time to waste with RISE with SAP. SAP has shown that it is prioritizing innovation through solutions like GROW with SAP and RISE with SAP. Companies should consider this factor when deciding on digital migrations and how they plan to customize their SAP landscapes.

Protect your investment. While organizations may be focused on the capabilities RISE with SAP can offer them, they should not overlook its security. Companies must protect their investment with robust and centralized security controls to defend against malicious actors.
