this session you will learn how to leverage SAP Access Control as the foundation
of a centralized and integrated solution to provide multiplatform access
management, decreasing complexity and costs and helping to unhide SoD risks that
depend on a systemic view.

Climate Action: Sustainable Programming at SAP


Detlef Thoms
Product Manager/ Chief Product Expert
SAP
For software developers, being sustainable and contributing to clean IT means
designing software programs that make efficient use of computing resources and

sustainable programming measures can save the energy consumption of a small
city. In this session, hear the steps SAP is taking to implement sustainable
programming measures, from providing computing and storage power with minimum
environmental impact to finding the right balance between end-to-end response
time, throughput, and economical/sustainable resource consumption.

Cybersecurity
Why You Should Use Centralize Monitoring for Data Transparency and Protection


Gabriele Fiata
SAP
Arndt Lingscheid
Global Solution Owner SAP Security and Data Protection
SAP SE

When it comes to securing SAP business applications, organizations tend to face
three key challenges:  

 1. How to enable the application security team to prioritize the necessary
    cybersecurity actions? 
 2. How to give the CISO insight into application security risk activities? 
 3. How to bridge the gap between the problems faced by the CISO and the
    problems faced by the rest of the C-suite?

One potential way to address these challenges is by building a cybersecurity
dashboard using SAP Analytics Cloud and its integration with SAP security
solutions, a concept in which several SAP customers have expressed interest, and
which SAP is planning to build by working together with customers.  

Attend this session to:

 * Learn about the idea of how to create a customizable dashboard that combines
   the feeds from various cybersecurity solutions, analyzes attacks, and
   suggests actions for the application security team to prioritize.
 * Find out how the dashboard can also give CISOs a snapshot of what their teams
   are doing at any point in time so they can adjust operations if necessary.
 * Discover how the dashboard can help the board understand how cybersecurity
   risks can affect strategic business objectives, and make better decisions
   based on risk mitigation, by providing insight into the monetary value of
   cybersecurity risks and into the company’s overall risk management status.


Addressing Security, Compliance, and Data Sovereignty for SAP Cloud Migrations


Alex Hanway
Business Development Director
Thales DIS CPL

SAP applications often contain an organization’s most sensitive data, making
them security priorities and sources of compliance concern. Thus, when it comes
to planning the move from legacy on-premises SAP systems to the cloud —
particularly for SAP S/4 HANA — security and compliance are major obstacles to
clear. Many larger organizations also must address these requirements against
the backdrop of additional data sovereignty needs. All these concerns make SAP
cloud migrations even more complex.

 

This session offers best practices to overcome these challenges and explores:

 * Strategies for securing SAP data in the cloud, including tips for encryption,
   tokenization, and external key management
 * Fundamentals of data privacy compliance
 * Issues of data sovereignty and how to address regulatory requirements

How DeltaBike Protects Trade Secrets with Levels-Based Access Management


Tobias Keller
Product Manager
SAP

The traditional role based authorization paradigm is at a breaking point. More
sophisticated requirements around privacy and protection of a company’s “crown
jewel” information require new approaches on a need-to-know basis with
levels-based authorizations. Take DeltaBike – who are working on a secret
project for a highly innovative E-Bike prototype which only selected persons
within the organization may know about. At the same time, this is a fairly
complex program and needs to be supported within the SAP S/4HANA procurement and
warehousing processes. But how to square the circle and provide access to
confidential data only when and where needed? 

While DeltaBike as a company is fictitious, the use case is real. Join us to see
in a live demo on how dynamic, attribute based authorizations help to build a
levels-based authorization regime providing the right data to the right people
at the right time – and how organizations benefit from this approach.

This session is designed to help organizations learn how to:

 * Manage the access to sensitive data across the organization
 * Safeguard business-critical operations and enforce compliance
 * Prevent data leaks and misuse by internal employees
 * Keep an audit trail of data access to…
 * Comply with increasing regulatory and business requirements
 * Provide evidence during an investigation
