Security for SAP RISE
Key Takeaways
⇨ Shared Security Responsibilities: In SAP RISE, security responsibilities are shared between SAP and customers, with SAP handling infrastructure and customers securing the application and data layers.
⇨ Comprehensive Security Solutions: The Cybersecurity Extension for SAP offers broader and more cost-effective security coverage compared to SAP's standard and optional RISE solutions.
⇨ Advanced Features and Integration: Layer Seven Security's extension includes advanced features such as automated compliance assessments, custom threat patterns, and extensive security checks, enhancing overall security management for SAP RISE customers.
In contrast to traditional on-premise SAP landscapes, the responsibilities for security in SAP RISE are shared between SAP and customers. SAP is responsible for security at the hyperscaler and network level, as well as security for databases and servers. Customers are responsible for securing the application and data layer. However, customers can purchase optional solutions and Cloud Application Services (CAS) from SAP that are not included in standard RISE agreements for additional support in these areas.
This document compares security solutions and services available from SAP against the capabilities of the Cybersecurity Extension for SAP (CES). CES is a sofware addon for SAP solutions and certified for SAP S/4HANA. It is available as a cloud subscription. CES delivers more coverage at lower cost than the equivalent RISE solutions and services and provides a unified alternative to multiple SAP RISE offerings.
