In today’s digital landscape, cyber threats and security breaches pose significant risks to enterprise systems, including SAP environments. Organizations must proactively identify and mitigate threats to protect critical business data and ensure compliance. SAP Enterprise Threat Detection (ETD) is a powerful security solution designed to detect, analyze, and respond to security threats in real-time within SAP landscapes.
SAP ETD provides advanced monitoring and threat intelligence capabilities that enable organizations to uncover suspicious activities and prevent potential attacks before they impact business operations.
SAP Enterprise Threat Detection is a real-time security monitoring solution that helps organizations detect and investigate internal and external security threats within their SAP systems. It collects, analyzes, and correlates log data from multiple SAP and non-SAP sources, offering comprehensive visibility into security events across the enterprise.
The primary goal of SAP ETD is to identify unusual or unauthorized activities—such as fraudulent transactions, system misuse, or data breaches—enabling security teams to respond promptly and effectively.
SAP ETD continuously monitors SAP system logs and security-relevant events to detect threats as they occur, minimizing the time between attack initiation and detection.
The solution uses built-in correlation rules and customizable queries to analyze log data and detect complex attack patterns, including insider threats and segregation of duties (SoD) violations.
ETD aggregates logs from various SAP components such as SAP NetWeaver, SAP HANA, and third-party systems, providing a centralized view of security events.
It generates alerts for suspicious activities and supports integration with existing Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tools, enabling seamless incident response workflows.
Security teams can create and customize detection rules tailored to their organization’s unique environment and risk profile.
Interactive dashboards and detailed reports provide insights into security incidents, helping auditors and compliance officers assess risk levels and remediation effectiveness.
Data Collection
ETD collects security-related logs and events from SAP systems and connected sources, including user activities, system changes, and administrative actions.
Data Indexing and Storage
The collected data is indexed and stored in a high-performance database to enable fast searching and correlation.
Threat Detection
Using predefined and custom correlation rules, ETD analyzes the data to detect suspicious behaviors or policy violations in real-time.
Alert Generation
When a potential threat is identified, ETD generates alerts for security analysts to investigate.
Incident Investigation and Response
Security teams use ETD’s investigation tools to drill down into alerts, identify root causes, and initiate response measures.
SAP Enterprise Threat Detection is an essential tool for organizations aiming to secure their SAP environments against evolving cyber threats. By leveraging real-time monitoring, advanced analytics, and centralized log management, ETD empowers security teams to detect, investigate, and respond to incidents swiftly and effectively.
Implementing SAP ETD strengthens an organization’s security posture, helps maintain regulatory compliance, and protects valuable business-critical data from unauthorized access or misuse.
