What is a SAP vulnerability assessment?

A SAP vulnerability assessment is a systematic review that identifies, analyzes and prioritizes security weaknesses across your SAP landscape - entry points, configuration and profile parameters, missing patches, authorizations and custom ABAP - and delivers an actionable remediation plan. It is essential for safeguarding your critical SAP systems against potential threats and vulnerabilities.

Our approach to SAP vulnerability assessment

RedRays employs a multi-pronged strategy to uncover and address vulnerabilities within your SAP landscape.

1

Comprehensive entry-point discovery

We use advanced manual and automated techniques to identify all possible access points to your SAP system - leaving no stone unturned.

2

In-depth vulnerability analysis

Our experts delve into the specifics of each identified vulnerability, assessing its potential impact on your business operations and data security.

Vulnerability assessment vs. penetration testing

They answer different questions. A vulnerability assessment gives you breadth - every weakness, prioritized. A penetration test gives you proof - what an attacker could actually do.

Vulnerability assessment
  • Inventories weaknesses across the whole landscape
  • Analyzes and prioritizes by business risk
  • Does not exploit - safe for production
  • Delivers a remediation roadmap
  • Ideal for broad, recurring coverage
Penetration testing
  • Exploits weaknesses and escalates privileges
  • Proves a real attack path end to end
  • Targeted, deep and time-boxed
  • Demonstrates impact, not just risk
  • Ideal for critical systems and validation

SAP vulnerability assessment FAQ

What is a SAP vulnerability assessment?

A SAP vulnerability assessment systematically identifies, analyzes and prioritizes security weaknesses across your SAP landscape - from entry points and configuration to missing patches, authorizations and custom ABAP - and delivers an actionable remediation plan, without exploiting the issues.

What is the difference between a vulnerability assessment and a penetration test?

A vulnerability assessment inventories and prioritizes weaknesses across the whole landscape without exploiting them. A penetration test proves what an attacker could actually do by exploiting weaknesses and escalating privileges. Assessments give breadth; pentests give proof.

SAP entry points and exposed services, system configuration and profile parameters, missing patches and known vulnerabilities, authorizations, and custom ABAP - across your on-premise and cloud SAP systems.

At least annually, and after major changes - upgrades, new integrations, an S/4HANA migration or configuration changes - because each can introduce new weaknesses into your SAP landscape.
