Effective threat detection and response in SAP landscapes require not only advanced monitoring tools but also seamless integration within existing IT management frameworks. SAP Enterprise Threat Detection (ETD) is a powerful solution designed to detect and analyze security threats in real-time within SAP systems. To maximize its effectiveness, integrating ETD with SAP Solution Manager—SAP’s centralized application lifecycle management (ALM) platform—offers numerous operational and strategic benefits.
SAP Solution Manager is an integrated platform designed to manage SAP and non-SAP applications throughout their lifecycle, including implementation, operations, monitoring, and continuous improvement. It provides a central hub for system monitoring, incident management, change control, and IT service management (ITSM).
Integrating ETD with SAP Solution Manager creates a consolidated environment where security events and alerts from ETD can be managed alongside other operational incidents and system monitoring data. This integration helps to:
ETD generates real-time alerts based on suspicious activities detected in SAP systems. These alerts can be forwarded automatically to SAP Solution Manager via standard interfaces such as SAP Event Management or integration adapters.
Once ETD alerts reach Solution Manager, they can be converted into incident tickets. This enables IT and security teams to:
Solution Manager’s dashboards can be configured to display ETD alerts alongside other system and application health indicators. This holistic view supports better decision-making.
Automated workflows in Solution Manager can be used to trigger notifications, escalate critical security incidents, and enforce resolution SLAs.
Integrating SAP Enterprise Threat Detection with SAP Solution Manager enhances the organization's ability to detect, respond to, and manage security threats within SAP landscapes efficiently. By combining real-time threat insights from ETD with Solution Manager’s robust incident and IT service management capabilities, businesses can achieve a comprehensive security posture and operational excellence.
