“Security is not simply a subset of IT”Cybersecurity encompasses a wide range of areas, including endpoint and network security, and application layer security. A comprehensive understanding of these aspects is essential for organizations to protect themselves. SAP holds a unique advantage in this realm, as it possesses deep understanding of its own applications and business frameworks across various industries. SAP has created numerous security solutions, including SAP GRC and identity and access management, specifically for its own applications. One of its key assets, the Enterprise Threat Detection (ETD) tool, has undergone significant development and empowers our customers to detect and understand any abnormal activity within their SAP applications and workflows. As the developers of these tools, SAP has a deep understanding of their capabilities, giving them a competitive advantage over other players in the market.
