Introducing SailPoint Identity Security for SAP: Solutions for transformation
Organizations are concerned about the security of unauthorized system and application access as they transition from legacy systems like on-premises SAP ECC to S/4HANA and SAP cloud applications and ecosystems.
Enterprises also may be in search of alternative identity security solutions that can support SAP applications, especially with SAP Identity Management (IdM) moving toward end-of-life.
We are excited to introduce SailPoint Identity Security for SAP at Navigate 2024 – a comprehensive set of identity security solutions that lets organizations control and manage access to SAP on-premises, cloud and hybrid applications and services – plus supports separation of duties (SoD) and access certification capabilities – and supports digital transformation goals.
These flexible solutions follow identity security best practices, as well as align tightly with preferred SAP architecture and standards and give our customers support to implement the strict governance standards they require to meet compliance needs.
SailPoint’s approach to SAP application integrations aligns with SAP's strategic vision, reference architecture, product offerings, integration landscape, methodologies, and roadmap. Our integration with SAP’s Identity Provisioning Service (IPS) also gives customers the ability to quickly extend identity security to many of the most widely used SAP cloud applications.
Enterprise identity security across SAP
SailPoint Identity Security for SAP solutions can help enterprises solve big governance issues for complex SAP environments, including:
- Delivering comprehensive coverage for new SAP cloud infrastructure services to help spur quick adoption: Integrations for SAP’s new cloud infrastructure, including the SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) and SAP Identity Directory/IAS, for centralized user administration and provisioning to more than 40 SAP applications through SAP Cloud Integration Services (CIS), in alignment with SAP’s reference architecture.
- Managing and securing access to SAP cloud line of business applications and services: Integrations with most business-critical SAP cloud line of business applications like SuccessFactors, SAP HR, Concur, Ariba, Fieldglass, and more, using SAP’s Identity Provisioning Services (SAP IPS) for quick and extensible integrations that can be tailored to suit your business needs.
- Offering integrations to achieve identity security continuity for customers transitioning to cloud: Provides comprehensive identity security coverage for on-premises SAP Business Suite applications and for S/4HANA cloud, plus support for ECC applications moving to SAP RISE and integrations with SAP Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) and SAP Identity Access Governance (SAP IAG) to perform SoD checks.
- Helping secure coverage for SAP on-premises and hybrid landscapes: Includes deep governance capabilities for SAP on-premises applications like ECC, S/4HANA, and SAP GRC for risk analysis, provisioning, access certifications, and SoD checks that span across hybrid SAP landscapes, giving enterprises more centralized identity security and enhanced end-to-end transparency into access.
- Delivering solutions that satisfy SoD needs: Enterprises that need to implement centralized security policies and check risks, policy violations, and access certifications across their applications have multiple options, including SailPoint Access Risk Management (ARM) with support for T-Codes and SAP Fiori, as well as emergency access capabilities for access control. Organizations can also leverage SailPoint’s SAP GRC integration and the SAP GRC-IAG bridge integration for SAP GRC and SAP IAG provisioning and SoD analysis of on-premises and cloud SAP applications in a hybrid ecosystem.
These solutions deliver enterprise identity security governance that help give organizations comprehensive visibility into their SAP ecosystem, as well as supports transformation – whether they need secure coverage for critical SAP cloud applications; are moving from SAP ECC to S/4 HANA; or are making the transition to an alternative identity security solution from SAP IdM.
Identity security solutions for SAP and beyond
These comprehensive integration solutions represent an ongoing commitment to deliver expanded SAP connectivity and give our customers essential governance capabilities for SAP cloud, hybrid, and on-premises landscapes, while thousands of existing SailPoint connectivity solutions help extend coverage beyond the SAP ecosystem to secure other business-critical applications.
We can help organizations secure access, mitigate the risks associated with cloud transformation, and maintain regulatory and compliance requirements with end-to-end, comprehensive enterprise identity security across both SAP and non-SAP ecosystems.
