If you understand the security components and infrastructure, there is a lot you can do to improve SAP systems security without compromising normal users’ operation.
You can improve security by:
- Designing and implementing a secure systems infrastructure by means of firewalls and setting password policies and parameters.
- Setting the most appropriate values for security-related instance profile parameters.
- Using external security products.
- Establishing a security policy and efficiently communicating it.
- Creating a security checklist that can be periodically tested either manually or automatically so you can evaluate the efficiency of your security policy.
- Enforcing the security policy by means of logging and auditing.
- Monitoring security alerts and locating threats.
- Establishing a procedure for constant update of the security policies.
