The highway to cyber resilience.

Your best defence is offensive intelligence. CODA Footprint enables SOC teams to proactively identify exploitable cyber killchains and collaborate internally to disarm them in real-time.

Autonomous Application Exploit Engine as a service

Finding vulnerabilities and managing them in an environment that is already filled with new, emerging, and evolving threats can be overwhelming. The sheer volume of available patches that must be deployed each month is already massive and it continues to grow.

“In the context of SAP Private Cloud, the customer still keeps the ownership and responsibility to secure the application layer,” Costea describes. “That means on one side that the customer needs to cooperate with us in approving specific downtime windows, and on the other hand that they have a role in analysing product-related patches released by the SAP Product Development Teams.”

One of SAP’s new services, RAVEN, which will be launched as a pilot end of 2023, has a component developed with CODA that will allow customers to make decisions with speed and accuracy when it comes to managing risk.

As Costea explains, the service will deliver hyper-contextualised risk signals to customers, allowing them to take the correct and timely decisions when it comes to managing risk across their SAP cloud environments.

“Our goal at SAP is to build solid processes, leveraging bleeding-edge technology in order to help our customers reduce their real cyber risk exposure to nearly zero,” he adds. “And we know this requires continuous effort from all parties involved.”

AI and ML present new risks in the security landscape

The deployment of emerging technologies such as AI and ML are becoming increasingly common in automating and streamlining various processes. However, as Costea explains, these technologies present new risks, as they may become targets for attackers. “New vulnerabilities or zero-day exploits may be identified in these systems, which must be considered,” he comments. “Another area of concern is the security of the Internet of Things, which has gained momentum in the market in recent years”.

As companies continue to adopt container-based architectures, container security, and Kubernetes-based security in the cloud are also emerging as important topics on the cybersecurity agenda.

“Overall,” Costea adds, “it is important to remain vigilant and proactive in identifying and addressing potential risks associated with these new technologies.

Quantum computing is another emerging trend that presents significant challenges to cybersecurity, with its potential to operate at much faster speeds than current technology meaning that current encryption methods may be compromised. “Encryption algorithms that were once deemed secure may become vulnerable in a matter of days, weeks, or months, rather than years,” Costea concludes. “These challenges require the industry’s attention in the coming years to maintain the security of sensitive data and systems.”
