In today's business-driven IT security landscape, time and resources are often constrained, making it impossible for organizations to achieve complete security at the flip of a switch. As a result, certain risks may need to be accepted and mitigated through alternative measures. SIEM solutions play a critical role in identifying and responding to security threats by detecting patterns of critical events through predefined blacklists, whitelists, and rules curated by AI or security personnel. While traditional SIEM systems effectively address non-critical and critical activities out of the box, they often lack the ability to account for the context of these activities. To elevate the effectiveness of SIEM systems, it is essential to incorporate dynamic and contextual data. By automatically updating SIEM rules based on the latest audit and penetration testing results, as well as current vulnerabilities within the system, SAP Security and Basis teams can more accurately assess the criticality of events. Integrating information on existing vulnerabilities—such as Segregation of Duties (SoD) conflicts, users with elevated privileges, and custom code flaws—with the specific users or activities generating alerts provides the SOC team with a deeper level of insight. This enhanced context allows for more precise interpretation and response to security incidents, ultimately strengthening the organization's overall SAP security posture.
You will:
- Learn proper design of incident response workflows.
- Discover holistic approach to securing landscape with SIEM.
- Understand senseful use of AI.
The traditional role based authorization paradigm is at a breaking point.

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.

In the evolving landscape of enterprise software, ensuring a "clean core" architecture is essential to maintaining system agility, scalability, and reduced maintenance overhead. However, achieving this comes with significant challenges, such as managing complex integrations, ensuring data consistency, and safeguarding against customization sprawl. To address these, organizations must set clear guardrails to balance innovation with system integrity, ensuring the core remains adaptable to future upgrades and technological advancements. Simplification plays a key role in this process, helping reduce complexity, improve efficiency, and enhance user experience.
A vital enabler in this journey is SAP's Business Technology Platform (BTP), which offers a range of benefits, including seamless cloud integration, advanced analytics, and enhanced development agility. By leveraging BTP, enterprises can decouple innovations from the core promoting Headless vision, streamline processes, and introduce new capabilities without compromising system stability.
The Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) facilitated by S4core with BTP further enhances the ability to respond to real-time data events, fostering more adaptive and resilient business processes without being synchronous, object centric and data driven.
