How to switch from Onapsis to the Cybersecurity Extension for SAP, Part 1

Transitioning from Onapsis to the Cybersecurity Extension for SAP allows organizations to manage SAP vulnerability management, threat detection, and custom code security directly within their existing SAP Solution Manager environment. This guide outlines the planning phase for migrating from Onapsis to Layer Seven Security’s integrated SAP solution.

Why transition from Onapsis to the Cybersecurity Extension for SAP?

The Cybersecurity Extension for SAP offers a native alternative to Onapsis by functioning as an addon for SAP Solution Manager. Unlike external platforms, this extension integrates directly into the application lifecycle management platform already used by over 12,000 SAP customers worldwide. Because it resides within Solution Manager, organizations can leverage existing infrastructure and support rights to manage their SAP security posture more efficiently. Once the transition is complete, you can decommission Onapsis consoles, sensors, users, and addons from your SAP landscape.

How do you prepare your Solution Manager for the transition?

Preparing for a successful transition requires verifying your current SAP Solution Manager configuration. The Cybersecurity Extension for SAP relies on a standard setup of Solution Manager to perform vulnerability management and threat detection. By ensuring your platform is correctly configured, you guarantee a smooth migration process that minimizes disruption to your SAP security operations.
