The Cybersecurity Extension for SAP serves as a direct alternative to Onapsis for managing SAP vulnerability, threat detection, and custom code security. Developed by Layer Seven Security, this addon integrates directly into SAP Solution Manager, allowing organizations to transition away from Onapsis consoles, sensors, and associated addons.
Executive Summary
Transitioning from Onapsis to the Cybersecurity Extension for SAP requires a strategic review of your existing SAP Solution Manager environment. Because the Cybersecurity Extension for SAP functions as an addon for Solution Manager—the standard platform for application lifecycle management used by over 12,000 SAP customers—it leverages your existing infrastructure rather than requiring external consoles or sensors. Usage rights for Solution Manager are included in your standard SAP support, simplifying the architectural shift. This guide outlines the essential preparation steps, including verifying target system compatibility, to ensure a seamless migration. Once the new extension is deployed, administrators can decommission Onapsis components, including sensors, consoles, users, and addons, effectively streamlining the SAP security landscape while maintaining robust monitoring capabilities for ABAP, HANA, and Java environments.
