SAP system landscapes are often the heart of a company, as they process highly sensitive data and business-critical information. A successful hacker attack against this environment can thus have very serious consequences for the company. A SAP pentest can help you to protect your systems and applications from attacks.<\/p>\n<h1>What is a SAP Pentest and Why is It Useful?<\/h1>\n<p>During a pentest, security analysts take on the role of a malicious hacker. They use methods, techniques and procedures that a real attacker would use. The objective is to identify vulnerabilities and entry points in order to correct them in time before a real attacker can exploit them. SAP system landscapes are often quite complex in structure and consist of a large number of specific SAP products. Our experience shows that in-depth expertise and a profound understanding of SAP products are necessary to comprehensively analyze the security status of SAP environments. A \"traditional\" pentest at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usd.de\/en\/security-analysis-pentests\/pentest-systems\/\">system<\/a>- or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usd.de\/en\/security-analysis-pentests\/pentest-webapplications\/\">application<\/a> level is not sufficent. In fact, a special approach is required that includes SAP-specific test elements as well as differentiating between the examination of web-based FIORI applications and SAP products at the system level<\/p>\n<h1>What are Common Vulnerabilities in SAP Environments?<\/h1>\n<p>SAP environments can have a wide range of different vulnerabilities due to their complexity and individuality. Following are some of the most common vulnerabilities that our <a href=\"https:\/\/herolab.usd.de\/en\/our-experts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">security analysts<\/a> identify when conducting SAP pentests:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Misconfigurations of SAP's own RFC protocol allow attackers to access sensitive data and perform far-reaching actions.<\/li>\n<li>In some cases, highly critical security vulnerabilities in the self-programmed ABAP report, which allow the attacker to extend rights or even completely compromise the system.<\/li>\n<li>Misconfiguration of settings and system parameters can lead to inadequately encrypted or even non-encrypted communication. This allows attackers to intercept and read communications and sensitive data.<\/li>\n<li>Insufficient demarcation between development, test and production systems causes insufficient protection of the systems and thus makes them more vulnerable to attacks. An attacker can thus access productive data and a logged-in user can escalate his or her rights.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h1>How Can We Help?<\/h1>\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/herolab.usd.de\/en\/our-experts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">security analysts<\/a> have developed a special approach for conducting SAP pentests. In preparation for the pentest, we closely coordinate with you on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usd.de\/en\/news-pentest-scope\/\">scope<\/a> of your test, the attack scenario, as well as the procedure and execution. The results of our security analysis are documented in a comprehensive report, including recommendations for the elimination of identified vulnerabilities. If you wish, we can support you with our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usd.de\/en\/security-analysis-pentests\/vulnerability-management-services\/\">Vulnerability Management Services<\/a> to help you achieve a good overview of your security situation, identify vulnerabilities as early as possible and deal with them in a structured manner.<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n<p>Would you like to analyze your SAP infrastructure for entry points?
