The DSAG Annual Congress 2024 was a highlight for the SAP community, and SERPENTEQ GmbH played a central role in it. With a highly exciting presentation on the topic of “SAP malware,” Andreas Wiegenstein, managing director and security expert at SERPENTEQ, not only impressed experts, but also drew a broad response. At a time when cyber attacks are becoming increasingly complex and targeted, the importance of SAP security solutions is greater than ever — and Wiegenstein provided a deep insight into this issue.
The threat of malware in the SAP environment is an issue that is becoming increasingly important. Companies all over the world rely on SAP systems to control their business processes, making these systems an attractive target for attackers. SAP security gaps offer an ideal attack surface, as they are often not sufficiently protected or cannot be closed quickly enough due to the complexity of the systems.
In his presentation, Andreas Wiegenstein explained how this threat has developed in recent years and which new attack techniques are specifically targeting SAP environments. He gave a comprehensive overview of the common methods used by hackers, from classic malware to targeted attacks that are specifically aimed at SAP systems. The explanation of how these threats can affect various SAP components was particularly noteworthy.
Andreas Wiegenstein's presentation at the 2024 DSAG Annual Congress was an important contribution to raising awareness of the dangers posed by SAP malware and a clear call to stop putting security aspects on the back burner. The response from participants shows how urgent the topic is and how important it is for companies to invest in the security of their SAP systems.
