About this Event

Due to the great feedback in the last years, the 6th BIZEC SAP® security workshop focuses again on hot and relevant topics in the SAP security community: Detecting and mitigating threats against SAP systems. Not just in your regular ABAP systems, but also in more recent SAP solutions like SAP HANA.

In past workshops, there was a lot of attention for offensive topics. This year’s focus is on the defensive side of SAP Security as the importance of this topic is more important than ever. If you are involved in protecting SAP systems, you know this topic needs more attention so this workshop is a must-attend!

Focus topics

SAP Hardening
SAP Security monitoring
Content-based threat vectors in SAP applications
Automation in mitigation
HANA TEC/11 & HANA APP/11

  • Mission Possible: „SAP Hardening and Security Monitoring being implemented in time and in budget"

    Most institutions running SAP tend to back away when it is about consequently performing SAP system hardening and security monitoring. Using successfully conducted project with Linde AG as an example, the contributor will show necessary steps do’s as well as don’ts from the practice. This example is suitable to work as a good example in order to provide an orientation for similar projects of other institutions running SAP.

  • Protecting SAP HANA: Implementing BIZEC TEC/11

    During this workshop the attendees will review the SAP HANA Platform; its main components, architecture and concepts. Additionally, they will learn the main risks that could affect SAP HANA platforms, aligned with the latest SAP HANA Security standard: BIZEC HANA/TEC11, which provides guidance about the most critical technical risks that could affect systems running on top of SAP HANA. Finally, we will present practical exercises showing the actual risks with examples of exploitation along with how to mitigate them.

    Onapsis

  • HANA APP/11

    This talk will introduce the new BIZEC HANA APP/11. The new BIZEC HANA APP/11 standard comprises the most critical and the most common security defects in SAP HANA applications. You will get an overview how to prioritize a HANA code audit and get guidance which types of security defects should be covered at minimum by an audit.

  • Coffee Break

  • SAP Content – the immutable threat vector and how to control it: Understanding SAP content-scanning and Virus Scanning interfaces and how to configure them to maximize protection.

    SAP is well aware of security threats related to vectors into the SAP application that cannot be closed - user input and data input. In this session, you will learn about the interfaces and integration options to secure your applications from content-based threats. You’ll discover configuration and policy settings allowing you to ensure only legitimate and secure content is processed by your application and relayed to your users.

  • Protecting SAP from one of the most critical risks: Unrestricted Network Access

    SAP Applications are built on top of multiple different (and complex) components. Many of these components do not implement authentication and only rely on network information to authorize the access. Join us on this presentation to learn about the different ACL (Access Control Lists) that are implemented in SAP and how to configure them to properly restrict access and ultimately protect your crown jewels.

  • SAP Security; Automation in mitigation

    It should be a no-brainer; Today SAP running organizations shouldn’t ask themselves IF they should secure their business-critical SAP systems, but HOW. Risk has increased by internet-connecting SAP landscapes and new laws have been introduced like the EU GDPR. The necessity to improve SAP Security is increased, but hardening SAP landscapes is a tough and time-consuming job that often involves lots of manual labor. Automation is key here. In this presentation we want to demonstrate how the time spend on installing SAP Security notes can be drastically reduced.
