Advanced protection for SAP S/4HANA, SAP RISE, and SAP BTP. Automate threat detection and vulnerability management across your entire SAP landscape.
The Cybersecurity Extension for SAP by Layer Seven Security is an agentless, SAP-certified platform that protects mission-critical SAP solutions from cyber attacks and advanced persistent threats. Designed for on-premise, cloud, and hybrid architectures, the solution automates vulnerability management, custom code analysis, and real-time threat detection. It bridges the gap between SAP administration and IT security by delivering cross-stack protection across the application, database, and host layers, ensuring your organization meets rigorous compliance standards including GDPR, SOX, and NIST.
SAP systems are increasingly targeted by sophisticated actors. Data shows that 65% of SAP platforms have suffered security breaches, with exploits growing by 100% over a three year period.
Standard security tools often lack visibility into the SAP application layer. Layer Seven Security implements a five-step hardening program to secure your SAP environments.
Our three-pillar approach ensures there are no blind spots in your defense-in-depth strategy.
Daily automated scans for 5000+ vulnerabilities in SAP applications, databases and hosts for cross-stack security.
Detection of missing relevant security notes including patches for known exploited vulnerabilities in SAP solutions.
Automated audits to detect compliance gaps with security frameworks including GDPR, NIST, SOX and PCI-DSS.
Discovery of business users with access to sensitive and incompatible functions that violate the segregation of duties in SAP S/4HANA.
1200+ patterns to detect and alert for indicators of compromise in SAP solutions.
Forwarding of alerts and event data to SIEM solutions including Splunk, QRadar and Sentinel.
Guided procedures and workflows for investigating and tracking security incidents.
Detection of unusual system and user events based on normalized patterns of behaviour.
Detection of 300+ vulnerabilities in custom ABAP programs and SAP UI5 applications.
Automated scanning and blocking of transport requests with security vulnerabilities.
Deploy to existing infrastructure in just 6 hours for immediate time-to-value without any new agents.
100% closed-source with no external connectivity. No open-source components or external connections.
