The Cybersecurity Extension for SAP serves as a direct alternative to Security Bridge for SAP vulnerability management, threat detection, and custom code security. This guide outlines the planning phase for transitioning your SAP security landscape to the Layer Seven Security solution, ensuring a smooth migration and eventual removal of legacy Security Bridge components.
Why transition to the Cybersecurity Extension for SAP?
The Cybersecurity Extension for SAP is an addon specifically designed for SAP Solution Manager, a widely adopted platform for application lifecycle management. Unlike standalone alternatives, this extension leverages the infrastructure of Solution Manager, which is already utilized by over 12,000 SAP customers worldwide. Because usage rights for Solution Manager are included in standard SAP support, this integration offers a streamlined, native approach to managing SAP security, threat detection, and custom code vulnerability analysis.
How do you plan the transition from Security Bridge?
Planning your transition involves preparing your existing SAP Solution Manager environment to host the new security extension. Because the Cybersecurity Extension for SAP operates as an addon within Solution Manager, you must first verify that your platform meets the necessary technical requirements. This initial phase ensures that your environment is ready for the transition before you begin removing Security Bridge addons, users, or configurations from your SAP systems.
