Hexadius and SecurityBridge to Fortify SAP Cybersecurity in APAC

SecurityBridge and Hexadius have formed a strategic alliance to bolster SAP security across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region to offer a comprehensive, end-to-end security framework.

The partnership addresses the escalating cybersecurity challenges faced by APAC businesses that heavily rely on SAP for their core operations. The partnership integrates SecurityBridge’s advanced cybersecurity technology with Hexadius’s expertise in SAP governance, risk, and compliance for a unified security offering. It also empowers enterprises with real-time threat detection, automated security monitoring, and robust compliance solutions, enabling them to proactively mitigate cyber risks.

“The rapid modernisation of SAP environments in APAC often overlooks the critical aspect of security, leaving businesses vulnerable,” stated Barun Kumar, Managing Director at Hexadius. “Our partnership with SecurityBridge allows us to offer a streamlined, all-encompassing solution, effectively shielding SAP systems from both internal vulnerabilities and external cyber threats.”

He added that users of this solution would benefit from a “single, reliable provider for complete SAP security, eliminating the complexities of managing multiple tools.”

A Unified Solution

The companies noted that SecurityBridge’s platform, designed to operate natively within SAP, provides unparalleled visibility into vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and real-time threats, without the burden of intricate integrations. This capability significantly enhances Hexadius’s ability to support industries with stringent compliance requirements, including finance, manufacturing, and energy.

Onno Coenen, Managing Director of APAC at SecurityBridge, stated, “Hexadius’s strong reputation for SAP security and compliance in APAC makes them an ideal partner as we expand our regional footprint. Together, we are bridging a critical gap by offering an integrated, proactive approach to SAP cybersecurity, ensuring businesses can pre-empt threats and maintain operational continuity.”

This partnership equips enterprises with the essential tools and intelligence to safeguard their most valuable digital assets, ensuring they can navigate the evolving threat landscape with confidence.

What This Means for Mastering SAP Insiders

Prioritise Real-Time Threat Detection. SAPinsider research on Cybersecurity has consistently highlighted the growing sophistication of cyberattacks targeting SAP systems. SecurityBridge’s native SAP platform exemplifies the importance of real-time threat detection. Its automated monitoring and immediate alerts on suspicious activities can prevent significant data breaches and operational disruptions. This proactive approach, rather than relying on periodic scans, is crucial for maintaining a strong security posture.

Address Internal and External Threats Holistically. Many SAP security breaches stem from internal vulnerabilities, such as misconfigurations and unauthorised access. SAPinsider research stresses the importance of a holistic security approach that addresses both internal and external threats. SecurityBridge’s platform, coupled with Hexadius’s expertise, provides comprehensive coverage, including vulnerability scanning, code analysis, and real-time threat detection. This combined approach ensures that SAP systems are protected from all angles, minimising the risk of data loss and operational disruptions.

Embrace Automated Compliance Monitoring. SAP environments are subject to strict regulatory requirements, and manual compliance checks are prone to errors and inefficiencies. SecurityBridge’s platform provides continuous monitoring of SAP configurations and access controls, ensuring adherence to industry standards like GDPR and SOX. This automation not only reduces risk but also streamlines audits, freeing up valuable resources. Due to this, SecurityBridge users have demonstrated the ability to catch critical compliance violations before they become major issues.
