Pathlock, an SAP cybersecurity and compliance leader, has expanded its new Cybersecurity Application Controls (CAC) suite. This unified security platform is built to help SAP customers stay ahead of evolving threats at highly competitive prices. Designed as a comprehensive cybersecurity defense platform, CAC aims to make protecting SAP assets smarter, stronger, and more seamless.
Piyush Pandey, CEO of Pathlock, said, “With our new solution lineup, including the Free Edition, we’re eliminating cost and complexity barriers so every SAP customer can protect their mission-critical systems and data. It’s about delivering high-impact security, fast and affordably.”
Integrated Suite for SAP Threat Protection
The CAC suite is built to provide continuous security for SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA systems through a combination of automated detection, dynamic access controls, and real-time response. According to Pathlock, CAC encompasses five core modules:

- Dynamic Access Controls (DAC): Using an Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) model, DAC allows for dynamic and detailed control of user access, masking sensitive data in production environments and scrambling test data in non-production systems.
- Vulnerability Management: This module performs automated scans with over 4,000 preset checks to find misconfigurations, prioritize patches, and strengthen SAP environments. The goal is to minimize system downtime and manual effort while shifting from reactive to proactive security strategies.
- Threat Detection and Response: Featuring over 1,500 customizable threat signatures and integration with more than 70 log sources, this module continuously monitors SAP landscapes. It reduces log noise and speeds up remediation through prioritized alerts and seamless SIEM integration.
- Code Scanning: Pathlock’s module improves SAP’s ABAP Test Cockpit by identifying security flaws and compliance issues in both development and production environments. Its ability to shift left during the development process helps prevent costly corrections after deployment.
- Transport Control: Designed to ensure proper change management during SAP development and migration, this module monitors transport during export and import phases. It blocks changes with known vulnerabilities, decreases production errors, and prevents backlogs that could delay innovation and disrupt operations.
Flexible Pricing Tailored to Enterprise Needs
Pathlock offers its Cybersecurity Application Controls (CAC) suite with flexible pricing designed for organizations of varying sizes, complexities, and SAP maturity levels. There is even a free tier that includes access to Vulnerability Management and Code Scanning modules.
Instead of a universal license, pricing varies based on the number of SAP systems and users, the selected CAC modules, and whether the deployment is for SAP ECC, SAP S/4HANA, or hybrid environments. Enterprises can activate only the features they require, such as Threat Detection or Transport Control, or they can opt for bundled packages that reduce costs and encourage broader adoption.
For high-compliance industries such as finance, healthcare, or manufacturing, Pathlock provides enterprise agreements that include premium support, audit-ready templates, and integration with SIEM and identity platforms. These packages are especially beneficial for companies managing frameworks like SOX, GDPR, or SEC rules.
What This Means for SAPinsiders
Security automation becomes a key skill for SAP leaders. The Pathlock CAC suite transforms how SAP professionals handle cybersecurity by integrating security into daily routines instead of viewing it as an afterthought. With centralized dashboards and automated compliance reporting, IT leaders gain full visibility of their SAP security status without needing extra staff. According to Pathlock, companies using the Threat Detection and Response module report reducing their detection and response times by 80%.
Consolidated platforms are making progress in the SAP cybersecurity market. While many vendors compete in the SAP cybersecurity space, what differentiates Pathlock is its ability to provide access governance, change management, code security, and threat detection all within one SAP-native platform. This reduces integration challenges and accelerates time-to-value.
Faster adoption of cybersecurity tools relies on automation and alignment. Many organizations face challenges with fragmented security architectures and overloaded Basis teams. Pathlock addresses this issue by providing automation throughout every phase, from code review to access control to threat response. However, success still depends on effective policy setup and cross-team collaboration. Early pilot implementations, supported by Pathlock’s ready-to-use templates and dashboards, can help speed up adoption while showing value to stakeholders.
