SAP security: Automated virtual patching
SecurityBridge, a leading provider of SAP security solutions, has unveiled the latest innovation in its Cybersecurity Command Center for SAP: Virtual Patching, an advanced feature that enhances SAP security by providing automated protection for unpatched SAP systems starting on SAP Patch Day. As a cross-platform solution, Virtual Patching integrates SecurityBridge's Patch Management and Threat Detection modules. Virtual Patching provides seamless, real-time protection against vulnerabilities by alerting SAP administrators when unpatched code is detected. The solution protects the affected SAP systems until official patches are implemented.
This allows administration departments to follow their patch management processes without taking security risks. "Our cross-functional innovation in virtual patching underscores SecurityBridge's leadership in SAP security," explains Holger Hügel, Product Management Director at SecurityBridge. With this 100% automated approach, SAP systems are secured from the first moment a vulnerability is discovered, ensuring continuous protection.
Functions of Virtual Patching
Automated threat detection: Alerts are generated only for affected SAP systems to ensure targeted and relevant notifications. Preconfigured signatures: SecurityBridge updates its threat detection signatures via the cloud, eliminating the need for manual system updates. Patch Day Protection: SAP systems are automatically protected against security vulnerabilities when new SAP SecurityNotes are released on Patch Tuesday.
