SAP SECURITY MWR have long been interested in SAP security. It’s very clear from talking to our clients, and to the attendees of our regular that SAP security issues are at the forefront of their agenda. Given that SAP systems are the core operational system of many businesses, where even the smallest level of compromise can have devastating effects, this comes as no surprise. What does come as a surprise is how many organizations.
SAP SECURITY A company’s IT security policy should specify mandatory software requirements for things such as minimum password length, password strength, number of password fails allowed before account lockout, etc. These requirements should be followed by all applications, and SAP is no exception.
SAP SECURITY SAP systems also have resident vulnerabilities, just like any other software. SAP publishes security notes that are akin to Microsoft Security Bulletins, Red Hat Security Announcement or Oracle Critical Patch Updates and/or Security Alerts, Oracle or Cisco! The results of the research conducted by ERP SCAN show that the number of vulnerabilities per year is reducing, but worryingly the criticality of the discovered/reported issues is increasing.
SAP SECURITY It is important to note, before we dive in, that SAP are making great efforts publically to appear to be making security a priority. They have implemented an internal SDLC process, hold security summits for internal teams and are investing in automatic and manual security assessments of new and old software versions. All of these efforts are to be commended. However, there are many reasons why SAP security is such an issue and no one individual can really be blamed.

SAP SECURITY Many of the systems discovered on the Internet were also reportedly found to be running vulnerable services and/or old and out of date versions of SAP software. In addition, it was found that systems could be exposed to attack from unauthenticated attackers and/or authenticated attackers (who could gain access using default well known username/password combinations. In MWR’s experience, once a foothold on a SAP system is obtained compromise.
