Securing SAP Ecosystems

Set the standard for safeguarding data across all ecosystems

SAP is at the forefront of today’s digital landscape, serving as the backbone for many enterprises’ core processes and operations. Its array of applications and services not only streamlines data management and resource planning, but also fosters enhanced decision-making and operational efficiency. As reliance on this integrated platform intensifies, the imperative to safeguard it becomes increasingly critical. 

Recognizing the criticality of these systems, NextLabs partners with SAP to provide zero trust data-centric security solutions,  crafted to align with SAP’s unique ecosystem. 

NextLabs partners with SAP to provide data- centric security solutions for SAP applications. NextLabs Application Enforcer is tightly integrated with SAP ERP, SCM, PLM, DMS and BW to provide an additional layer of control, preventing unauthorized access to data and restricting what users can do with the information.

Enforce Data-Centric Security Across the SAP Ecosystem

Master data is the bedrock of effective ERP. If master data is compromised, errors flow downstream, impacting various departments such as HR with employee master data. NextLabs ensures that critical master data in SAP, including material, vendor, and customer data, remains accurate and secure. Our solution protects billions of business transactions, such as significant financial approvals, by maintaining confidentiality through dynamic filtering and masking capabilities. We prevent unauthorized extraction and leakage of master data, including financial records, across various platforms like portals, Document Management Systems (DMS), and the Engineering Control Center (ECTR). 

NextLabs offers robust capabilities for discovering, classifying, and protecting files, enhancing data security across the SAP ecosystem. Our solution secures manufacturing execution processes and supply chain management (SCM) applications. While data warehouses ensure availability, allowing access from anywhere with any tool, NextLabs provides granular control over access to sensitive data in databases and data warehouses. This ensures the integrity of your supply chain and business networks. Additionally, by securing data for SAP Analytics Cloud, NextLabs empowers organizations to handle big data, gain insights, and make informed decisions without compromising data security. 

NextLabs is a long-time, trusted SAP partner with years of deep experience helping global SAP customers protect their sensitive information and intellectual property from theft and misuse. NextLabs ABAC solutions for Dynamic Authorization Management complement SAP GRC's flagship Access Control solution allowing SAP customers to flexibly, rapidly and cost-effectively secure their mission-critical information assets.
