SAPinsider Buyers Guide: Cybersecurity Dec 31, 2023 — Cyberattacks and cybercrime continue to increase in frequency. In SAPinsider’s 2022 Benchmark Report on Cloud Security Trends for SAP Customers, nearly two thirds of respondents indicated their organization had experienced an incident targeting one of their cloud service providers. While these attacks may not always directly affect SAP systems, in an environment of increased digital risk, securing data in SAP systems stands out as a critical focus for many businesses. Highlighting this concern, SAPinsider’s 2023 Cybersecurity Threats to SAP Systems report identified ransomware attacks, vulnerabilities due to unpatched systems, and compromised credentials as the primary threats to SAP systems. In the broader context of cybersecurity, data protection within SAP systems is of utmost concern. This emphasis is reasonable considering the critical data housed in these systems that form the core assets of a company, covering essential elements like partner and customer information, financial documents, transaction records, banking connections, and even personal identifiable information of employees. Considering the immense value of this data, it is logical why data protection is prioritized over other cybersecurity areas. For example, SAPinsider’s SAP Cybersecurity Priorities research report reveals that 58% of respondents from larger organizations and 54% from smaller ones ranked data protection as their foremost cybersecurity concern, highlighting its universal importance across various business scales. Aligning with these priorities, 53% of respondents identified the protection of sensitive and confidential SAP data as the primary driver of their cybersecurity strategies. To help SAP users in their cybersecurity decisions, SAPinsider put together this Buyers Guide, which aims to explore the challenges, opportunities, and trends in the cybersecurity space and to highlight key vendors and partners operating in the domain. The vendor capability assessments are intended to aid and assist organizations in selecting the vendors offering technology and consulting services for cybersecurity including capabilities around threat intelligence and detection, access and identity management, data protection and encryption, vulnerability management, incident response and forensics, cloud security and compliance, and secure code and application review.

SAPinsider Buyers Guide: SAP S/4HANA Dec 31, 2023 — The transition to SAP S/4HANA remains a focal point for SAP ERP users. Since its debut, around 24,000 organizations have licensed SAP S/4HANA, with a slightly smaller number having deployed the solution. While SAP S/4HANA remains important, SAP’s strategic thrust over the past two years has been towards cloud ERP, underscoring the pivotal role of SAP S/4HANA Cloud. Supporting this strategy, SAP’s primary push has been for its subscription-based RISE with SAP offering, which includes both SAP S/4HANA Cloud, public edition, and SAP S/4AHNA Cloud, private edition. Yet, converting long-standing SAP users to this new cloud model, especially those with highly customized SAP ECC or SAP Business Suite deployments, remains a hurdle for SAP. Despite the new innovations and faster performance offered by SAP S/4HANA and the cloud’s growing relevance, its uptake has been steady rather than rapid. Many in the SAP community are still on the fence regarding this shift. While some organizations have started their SAP S/4HANA journeys, a significant number of organizations have delayed deciding how they will move forward. However, the percentage without any plans to switch does continue to diminish. To help SAP users make some of these critical decisions, SAPinsider put together this Buyers Guide, which aims to explore the challenges, opportunities, and trends in the SAP S/4HANA adoption space and to highlight key vendors and partners. The vendor capability assessments are intended to aid and assist organizations in selecting the vendors offering technology and consulting services for S/4HANA preparation, implementation, infrastructure, and post-deployment support.
