Introducing the First Comprehensive Security Solution Purpose-Built for ABAP Development
In today’s hyper-connected digital landscape, where SAP systems manage critical business operations and sensitive data, the security of custom ABAP code has never been more important. Despite this critical need, ABAP developers have lacked modern, integrated security tools that align with contemporary DevSecOps practices.
We’re excited to announce that this gap is about to be filled with the upcoming release of RedRays ABAP Security Scanner – a cutting-edge security solution specifically designed to detect, analyze, and help remediate vulnerabilities in ABAP code across your SAP landscape.
The Security Challenge in SAP Development
Custom ABAP development continues to be the backbone of SAP customization, but security vulnerabilities in this code can expose organizations to significant risks including data breaches, intellectual property theft, and regulatory non-compliance. Traditional approaches to securing ABAP code rely heavily on manual code reviews and post-implementation penetration testing – methods that are resource-intensive, error-prone, and difficult to scale.
A Seamless Security Experience
RedRays ABAP Security Scanner has been built from the ground up with developer experience and security effectiveness at its core. Our solution offers unprecedented integration with existing development workflows:
Multiple Integration Options
- VS Code Plugin: Scan your ABAP code directly within Visual Studio Code
- Eclipse Plugin: Seamless integration with ABAP Development Tools (ADT) for Eclipse
- CI/CD Integration: Automate security scanning through GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, and other popular CI/CD platforms
- Powerful REST API: Flexibility to integrate with custom tools and workflows
Industry-Leading Analysis Capabilities
- 100+ Security Checks: Comprehensive detection for OWASP Top 10 and SAP-specific vulnerabilities
- Deep Data Flow Analysis: Sophisticated taint tracking to identify how unsanitized data propagates through your code
- Contextual Awareness: Distinguishes between genuine vulnerabilities and false positives by understanding SAP-specific contexts
- Low False Positive Rate: Advanced analysis algorithms minimize noise and focus on actionable security issues
Practical Security Outcomes
- Detailed Vulnerability Reports: Clear descriptions of identified issues with severity ratings
- Actionable Remediation Guidance: Specific recommendations for fixing each vulnerability
- Code Examples: Sample secure code patterns to guide developers in implementing fixes
- Compliance Documentation: Generate evidence of security testing for audit and compliance purposes
Real-World Use Cases
Secure Development
Developers can scan their ABAP code during development to catch security issues before they reach production. The plugins for VS Code and Eclipse allow for immediate feedback during the coding process, promoting security awareness and reducing remediation costs.
Continuous Integration
Security teams can enforce security standards by integrating RedRays ABAP Security Scanner into CI/CD pipelines. This ensures that all code changes are automatically scanned for vulnerabilities before deployment, establishing a true “shift left” security approach.
Security Assessments
Security professionals can use the tool to perform comprehensive assessments of existing ABAP code bases, prioritizing remediation efforts based on severity ratings and potential business impact.
Compliance Requirements
Organizations can leverage the detailed reporting capabilities to demonstrate compliance with industry standards and regulations such as GDPR, SOX, PCI DSS, and others that require regular security testing of custom code.
Comprehensive Reporting and Analytics
RedRays ABAP Security Scanner doesn’t just identify issues – it helps you understand and manage them:
- Flexible Export Options: Generate reports in multiple formats (HTML, PDF, CSV, JSON)
- Vulnerability Trending: Track security posture improvements over time
- Team Performance Metrics: Monitor development team security progress
- Remediation Tracking: Follow the status of identified issues through to resolution
- Executive Dashboards: High-level views for security and management stakeholders
