Overcome the complexity of SAP log ingestion. Successfully integrate SAP security events with Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, QRadar, and LogRhythm to achieve total SOC visibility.
Integrating SAP logs with SIEM solutions is a critical requirement for modern Security Operations Centers (SOCs). However, SAP environments present unique challenges including high log volumes, complex proprietary formats, and a lack of correlation data such as source IP addresses. Layer Seven Security provides a proven solution to filter, enrich, and ingest security-relevant events from SAP solutions such as S/4HANA and BTP. By extracting, centralizing and normalizing event data from SAP logs, we enable seamless integration with platforms such as Splunk, QRadar, and Sentinel, transforming SAP from a security blind spot into a fully visible component of your enterprise defense-in-depth strategy.
Successfully monitoring an SAP landscape requires addressing four fundamental hurdles.
SAP systems contain multiple, unique logs that each require specific parsing rules and configurations for successful ingestion.
SAP event logs can grow to terabytes within a short period. Without intelligent filtering at the source, SIEM storage requirements can skyrocket.
Manually maintaining numerous integration points between evolving SAP landscapes and SIEM platforms is time-consuming and resource-intensive for security teams.
Standard SAP logs often miss critical data, such as source and destination IP addresses. This data gap makes it difficult to correlate SAP events with other activity from other endpoints.
Layer Seven Security supports efficient and rapid integration of SAP security logs with SIEM solutions to reduce cost and effort and deliver security value.
Only ingest the events that matter. We identify and ingest severity-relevant events and eliminate noise.
We solve the correlation gap by enriching logs at the point of extraction, ensuring your SOC analysts have the context they need for rapid incident response.
Our solution provides a centralized, structured data source for log events from all SAP solutions including S/4HANA and SAP BTP.
We normalize SAP event logs into a standardized format for ingestion by SIEM platforms.
Whether you are running a cloud-native SOC or an on-premise monitoring center, our solution is optimized for any SIEM solution that supports log file ingestion including the providers below.
Ensure reliable delivery of security audit logs for long-term compliance and forensic readiness.
We monitor the Security Audit Log, Gateway Server Log, HTTP Log, ICM Security Log, STAD/ Transaction Log, System Log, Change Document Log, Read Access Log, HANA Audit Log, Java Security Log, Java Log Files, BTP Audit Log, Cloud Connector Log, SAProuter Log, Web Dispatcher Log, ASE Audit Log, and OS Logs including Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES), and Microsoft Windows Server.
Events from multiple SAP endpoints are collated, filtered, and normalized by Layer Seven Security. The results are outputted in real time to the file system in a centralized SAP system. A single data source is created in the target SIEM solution to ingest the contents of the source file from the central SAP system. A new file is created for each day. The data source is periodically checked by the SIEM at a set interval to identify and extract new events.
Events are outputted to a plain text file.
We support integration with any SIEM solution that can ingest the contents of plain text files from directories.
Yes. Our solution supports both on-premise solutions and cloud-based platforms such as Microsoft Sentinel and Splunk Cloud.
Yes. We provide over 1200 predefined patterns for Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) in SAP solutions. We provide the largest database of SAP IOCs in the industry. For comparison, SAP Enterprise Threat Detection (ETD) provides approximately 200 patterns. Monthly rule updates are provided by Layer Seven Security. This a more frequent update cycle than SAP ETD.
Using Layer Seven Security instead of integrating SAP logs directly with a SIEM reduces effort, cost, and complexity by providing a single, SAP-optimized integration point rather than requiring teams to build and maintain separate ingestion logic for multiple SAP log sources. Predefined regex and parsing rules accelerate deployment, while centralized event collection simplifies ongoing maintenance because only one data source needs to be managed in the SIEM. Layer Seven Security also enriches SAP security events to improve correlation with non-SAP activity, filters out non-security noise to reduce storage consumption and SIEM licensing costs tied to data volumes, and delivers deeper threat visibility through 1200+ predefined indicators of compromise for SAP logs, giving organizations access to the largest pattern library in the industry and significantly broader coverage than solutions such as SAP Enterprise Threat Detection (ETD).
