Onapsis Releases SAP Security In-Depth Publication for High Priority Security Note Configuration

Leaders in business-critical application security publish in-depth analysis enabling organizations to secure complex configuration changes


Boston, MA, Feb. 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Onapsis, the global experts in SAP and Oracle application cybersecurity and compliance, today released a new SAP Security In-Depth (SSID) publication, Setup of Trusted RFC in GRC. This publication analyzes a High Priority security note, 2413716, regarding configuration changes to secure SAP’s Trusted RFC for GRC Access Control (AC) Emergency Access Management (EAM). As the 14th edition in the Onapsis SSID series, Setup of Trusted RFC in GRC aims to give context to this complex note and enable SAP customers to secure the vulnerability.

The EAM module provides SAP GRC AC with the ability to determine how access can be granted in case of an emergency. To achieve this, it is necessary to set up Trusted RFC to connect all SAP systems within the entire organization to each other.

“All organizations know that installing SAP Security Notes is not a simple process based on the complexity of their implementation and the configurations that are set up. This particular note is High Priority rating and should be implemented immediately. We have received feedback from our customers that it has been difficult to install based on their complex implementations, which is why we have written a guide to help simplify and provide a step-by-step process to configure it securely,” said Matias Sena, Author and SAP Security Researcher, Onapsis.

Onapsis SSID publications detail innovative security aspects of business-critical applications as identified by the Onapsis Research Labs. Each release analyzes the unique risks introduced to these applications and the different mitigation strategies that allow organizations to protect their SAP implementations.

Setup of Trusted RFC in GRC is now available for download.

The Onapsis Research Labs is proud to present a live webcast highlighting this SAP Security In-Depth publication on March 14th. Our researchers will breakdown this security note as well as the configuration steps to ensure your SAP platform is protected. Register for the webcast here.
