Sanofi Replaces Traditional SAP Security with SecurityBridge
Key Takeaways
⇨ Enhanced Monitoring: SecurityBridge enabled Sanofi to implement real-time monitoring and preconfigured controls, reducing manual efforts and improving the detection of sophisticated attack vectors.
⇨ Seamless Integration: The platform seamlessly integrated with Sanofi's diverse SAP technologies (ABAP, JAVA, HANA) and systems, ensuring comprehensive security coverage.
⇨ Efficient Deployment: SecurityBridge provided easy deployment with minimal actions on SAP satellite systems and centralized management of vulnerabilities and compliance through integration with existing SIEM, ITSM, and reporting tools.
Sanofi, a global biopharmaceutical company focused on human health, selected the SecurityBridge Platform to replace a traditional security tool that had been in use for three years. With a vast SAP enterprise this was not
an initiative that was taken lightly. In 2020 Sanofi took that decision based on concerns that their business requirements had evolved, their demands for tighter security had increased, and the global pressure of compliance meant that they needed a more advanced and agile SAP security solution.
Head of SAP Cybersecurity, Stéphane Peteytas aligned Sanofi’s changing traditional security needs to determine a new technology direction for the company’s substantial enterprise landscapes. “We are heavily invested in SAP and have for many years looked for technology to assist us in securing our business-critical applications. We re-evaluated our processes and requirements for SAP security leading to a review of our current vendor but also several SAP security solutions on the market.”
WHY SecurityBridge?
Sanofi reviewed the security market for a holistic solution that would fit their evolving needs and future requirements. After a thorough comparative review, and rigorous testing of several tools they selected SecurityBridge. Its agile and holistic approach enabled Sanofi to transition very quickly and smoothly to the new SAP security platform.
