You are familiar with the problem: Your IT-supported processes need to be as secure as possible. Every single component of your SAP systems must be secured internally and externally, and you also need to comply with statutory provisions in terms of security. The actual challenge is, however, to master the interaction of these requirements for the purpose of holistic security and risk management for your SAP systems—and that's exactly what you'll learn in this standard work.With step-by-step instructions and numerous examples of proven methods, this book will teach you how to technically implement security in SAP NetWeaver. For all SAP applications, you'll learn where and how you can secure processes or improve the security of existing systems. To this end, you will learn the best practices of an SAP security strategy, as well as international standards. You will also learn how to integrate new technologies with your risk analysis.For this second edition, all parts of this book are updated to expand the description of new SAP products, such as SAP BusinessObjects and to supplement it with new security topics like governance, risk, and compliance (Enterprise Risk Management).
