YOUR JOURNEY TO SECURING SAP / INTRODUCTION

Introduction

A bird's eye view of Fortinet SAP coverage

Fortinet’s holistic security coverage protects your journey to securing SAP with a unified security policy that extends from on-premises across your hybrid deployments to provide seamless, enterprise-class security for your mission-critical SAP deployments. With deep integrations into your SAP systems, the Fortinet Security Fabric delivers protection by sharing threat intelligence with SAP Enterprise Threat Detector (ETD) to address some of SAP’s most common and emerging threats, even on an API level.

YOUR JOURNEY TO SECURING SAP / SCENARIO 1​

Enterprise Landscape​

New implementations of SAP systems and conversions to SAP S/4HANA exist within a broader network, and that network must be secure.

HOW FORTINET SECURES ENTERPRISES

FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) is an SAP-aware firewall that recognizes, manages, and secures SAP traffic and ports, including SAP specific protocols. Enterprises can use it to secure both N/S and E/W traffic, create segmented security zones, gain real-time SAP threat intelligence, and deploy virtual patching to block attacks. FortiGate NGFW is the cornerstone of the Fortinet Security Fabric.

SECURE YOUR NETWORK WITH

Fortigate NGFW

FortiGate NGFW secures N/S and E/W traffic, creates security zones, detects attack traffic, and is SAP aware—able to read and secure SAP protocols such as SAP DIAG, SAP RFC, SAP HANA, and more. The FortiGate SDN SAP Connector allows FortiGate to connect to an SAP controller to synchronize dynamic address objects and ports for SAP workloads.

FortiClient

FortiClient is more than just an advanced endpoint protection solution with a built-in VPN client. It connects the endpoint with the security fabric and delivers integrated endpoint and network security. FortiClient also provides validated zero-trust certificates for authenticating endpoints in a zero-trust network.

FortiManager

FortiManager provides automation-driven centralized management of Fortinet security solutions from a single console. FortiManager provides full administration and visibility into security policies and events across your security fabric.

FortiAnalyzer

FortiAnalyzer is a powerful log management, analytics, and reporting platform for Fortinet security solutions. Integrated with the Fortinet Security Fabric, advanced threat detection capabilities, centralized security analytics, and end-to-end security posture awareness and control, it helps security teams identify and mitigate threats before a breach occurs.

FortiSandbox Cloud

FortiSandbox is a third-generation malware sandbox powered by machine learning and deep learning that integrates to any existing security infrastructure and enables detection of threats, both known and unknown.

YOUR JOURNEY TO SECURING SAP / SCENARIO 2

Secure SAP Solutions​

Whether deployed on-premises or in the cloud, SAP systems are always a target for cyberattacks. Every year hundreds of new SAP vulnerabilities are found—often after they have been exploited in the wild.

HOW FORTINET ENHANCES SAP SECURITY

Fortinet not only protects your SAP applications between exploit and patch, it also can defend non-SAP applications that may serve as a springboard to an SAP attack. The Fortinet Security Fabric works seamlessly across clouds and data centers defending applications and the APIs they rely on while integrating into your SAP infrastructure to dynamically apply security policies as business needs change.

SECURE YOUR NETWORK WITH

Fortigate NGFW

FortiWeb

FortiWeb defends your web applications and their APIs from known and zero-day threats and protects against the OWASP Top 10 and SAP-specific attacks. FortiWeb ML customizes the protection of each application, providing robust protection without requiring time-consuming manual tuning. With ML, FortiWeb identifies anomalous behavior and, more importantly, distinguishes between malicious and benign anomalies. The solution also features robust bot mitigation capabilities.

FortiADC

FortiADC provides unmatched application acceleration, load balancing, and web security, regardless of whether it is used for applications within a single data center or those in the cloud. FortiADC includes WAF, IPS, SSLi, link load balancing, user authentication, and zero-trust enforcement. FortiADC’s SAP Connector communicates with the SAP Messenger server to identify and provide load balancing and security services to SAP servers as they come online.

FortiSandbox Cloud

FortiSandbox is a third-generation malware sandbox powered by machine learning and deep learning that integrates to any existing security infrastructure and enables detection of threats both known and unknown.

FortiDAST

FortiDAST provides a cloud-based security testing as a service. It simplifies automated detection of critical vulnerabilities in websites/web applications including known SAP vulnerabilities as well as those defined by OWASP Top 10. Using FortiDAST can help identify common vulnerabilities and misconfigurations.

YOUR JOURNEY TO SECURING SAP / SCENARIO 3

Zero Trust Access​

Zero Trust Access provides rigorous verification of users and devices as they access SAP systems from either inside or outside your network.

HOW FORTINET ENHANCES SAP SECURITY

Fortinet’s zero trust solutions for SAP provide authentication, authorization, and shrinking implicit trust zones to apply zero trust policies across your entire enterprise. Fortinet supports both client and clientless deployments—either can ensure that all users and devices are validated and secured each time they access an SAP system.

YOUR JOURNEY TO SECURING SAP / SCENARIO 4

Security Operations​

A security operations center (SOC) is a command center for monitoring each element of your SAP infrastructure, identifying existing and potential threats, and preventing future attacks.

HOW FORTINET ENHANCES SAP SECURITY

FortiSOAR extends the Fortinet Security Fabric into your SOC, providing security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) as well as innovative case management, automation, and orchestration. FortiSOAR integrates with SAP Enterprise Threat Detector (ETD) to provide automated interactions with the SAP ETD server using FortiSOAR playbooks.

Fortinet FortiSIEM is a highly scalable multi-tenant Security Information and Event Manager (SIEM) that integrates into FortiSOAR to provide real-time infrastructure and user awareness for accurate threat detection, analysis, and reporting. FortiCNP adds to this with deep analysis of your security posture in the cloud.
