Recently, we discussed the various security measures SAP takes to mitigate and prevent security threats to their customers’ ERP systems, and how Avantra can help you understand which SAP HotNews releases are relevant to your business-critical applications. But let’s take a step back for a moment to discuss what SAP cyber security is, common threats to your SAP landscape, and what SAP/Avantra products are available to strengthen your S/4HANA or legacy product.
Each Avantra version packs powerful features and enhancements that make it even simpler to work with and integrate - leading to better system quality, resilience and compliance. Avantra 21.11.4 lives up to this expectation by offering the new remote Java monitoring support feature.
Securing your SAP environments is critical to the operational success of your business. And SAP does a great job of trying to stay ahead of any vulnerabilities in their solutions by offering HotNews. As critical vulnerabilities are discovered, SAP weights their critical quality, declaring a level of severity and attributing a score - 10 being the most critical - along with a description and resolution of the patch.
As Product Manager for Avantra it gives me great pleasure to announce that our newest version, Avantra 21.11.4 is now available, packed full of new features and a few enhancements our customers have been asking for. Let’s dive into a few of the newest features that are the most exciting. As always, our release notes are publicly available here.
At Avantra, we always comment that the customers who need us most are too busy to meet with us. It is so common that SAP operations professionals turn up to meetings late, reschedule at short notice, or are not really present - instead, working on their laptop to solve problems. What is curious is that this is normalized, and has been going on for decades without change. How can this be? Let’s dive into this.
Securing an SAP environment is critical to any organization and as the use of public clouds grows for these environments, so does the concern of SAP security. These hyperscalers all have teams of people working around the clock to ensure their solutions are impenetrable. Third party cybersecurity solutions are often used as well to make sure these environments are safe and secure.
