Cybersecurity Why You Should Use Centralize Monitoring for Data Transparency and Protection SAP Product Manager, SAP Enterprise Threat Detection SAP SE When it comes to securing SAP business applications, organizations tend to face three key challenges: 1. How to enable the application security team to prioritize the necessary cybersecurity actions? 2. How to give the CISO insight into application security risk activities? 3. How to bridge the gap between the problems faced by the CISO and the problems faced by the rest of the C-suite? One potential way to address these challenges is by building a cybersecurity dashboard using SAP Analytics Cloud and its integration with SAP security solutions, a concept in which several SAP customers have expressed interest, and which SAP is planning to build by working together with customers. Attend this session to: * Learn about the idea of how to create a customizable dashboard that combines the feeds from various cybersecurity solutions, analyzes attacks, and suggests actions for the application security team to prioritize. * Find out how the dashboard can also give CISOs a snapshot of what their teams are doing at any point in time so they can adjust operations if necessary. * Discover how the dashboard can help the board understand how cybersecurity risks can affect strategic business objectives, and make better decisions based on risk mitigation, by providing insight into the monetary value of cybersecurity risks and into the company’s overall risk management status. Addressing Security, Compliance, and Data Sovereignty for SAP Cloud Migrations Business Development Director Thales DIS CPL SAP applications often contain an organization’s most sensitive data, making them security priorities and sources of compliance concern.
