The Essentials of SAP Fiori Security
Key Takeaways
⇨ Ensuring robust security for SAP Fiori applications involves implementing measures such as strong encryption for network communication, two-factor authentication for user access, and virus scanning for data uploads.
⇨ Organizations must address vulnerabilities related to local data storage, such as using data encryption and secure key management, and ensure compliance with data protection regulations.
⇨ Protecting SAP Fiori applications from threats like clickjacking requires adopting best practices like using a whitelist-based framework and implementing proper authorization mechanisms for native device capabilities.
SAP Fiori is the latest UI technology from SAP that enhances user experience by providing intuitive and
responsive user interfaces for SAP applications. As organizations embrace the power it becomes
paramount to prioritize the security of these applications. Let’s dive deeper into essential security measures and best practices for SAP Fiori that ensure the protection of your data and systems.
To start with, securing your stack involves understanding the technology layers. SAP Fiori follows the MVC (Model, View, Controller) principle. The Model represents data and business logic, managing data persistence, retrieval, and computations. The View presents the user interface, including forms, buttons, tables, and rendering data from the Model. The Controller acts as the intermediary, processing user input, updating the Model, and triggering changes in the View.
On the development side, data exchange occurs through OData services. OData plays a critical role in SAP Fiori, enabling data integration, standardization, and interoperability. It empowers Fiori apps to retrieve, manipulate, and consume data from backend systems using RESTful APIs, ensuring a seamless user experience.
Ensuring network and communication security helps maintain data integrity and confidentiality. Therefore, all communications between the SAP Fiori Client app on the device and target servers must be strongly encrypted. SAP Fiori Client utilizes the HTTPS protocol for network connections, guaranteeing that data transmission is secure and safeguarded against unauthorized access.
