Tackling SAP Security Together - Supply Chain Risks in Third-Party Add-Ons


For years, supply chain security was a risk that CISOs faced quietly in their offices.  Since the SolarWinds hack, better known as Sunburst, which affected more than 18,000 organizations in 2020, the risk has found its way to the desks of CEOs and board members.

Today everyone is asking how software supply chain security for third-party add-ons can be managed better, especially when it comes to business-critical landscapes like SAP. Selecting the appropriate third-party solution can be challenging for many different reasons. 

When evaluating security for third-party solutions ask yourself:

· What is the best way test the quality of the software? 
· How do the different certification levels of SAP certified add-ons effect security?
· What maintenance, service, and support will be provided by the vendor?
· How do you determine the risk vendors expose you to and how do you adjust your security approach accordingly?
· How do you identify software's security flaws and choose the best way to combat them?
· Does using the software come with any access control or data privacy constraints?
