Sharing what we know
Our blog features articles written by SNOK experts - people who work day to day on projects in SAP, cybersecurity, automation, data and Enterprise AI.
We write about real project experience, analyse technology trends, and share our own perspective on solutions that genuinely affect how organisations operate. We like sharing what we know, because technology isn't just our line of work - it's something we're genuinely curious about.

From Risk to Resilience - securing the SAP landscape
A Lunch & Learn session held in Polish, co-hosted with SUSE for SAP teams responsible for security and business continuity. The programme follows the whole defence path of an SAP landscape: the operating system and virtualisation layer, user sign-on, and attack detection inside SAP itself. Lunch afterwards leaves time to talk to the team that recently completed an SAP security hardening project at a large public-sector institution and wrote up what it learned in the book "SAP Cybersecurity from A to Z".
Read the source, not the headline - weekly review W42
SNOK's review of 9-15 October 2026: SAP and Mistral AI, Patch Tuesday alongside SAP Security Patch Day, Nadella on models as insider risks, the SAP Security Baseline Template, outside agents, UiPath Agent review, OWASP GenAI, small local models and agents driving SAP GUI.
Running UiPath on-premises with a local LLM: architecture, GPU sizing and model choice
Since Automation Suite 2.2510.2, UiPath agents can run in your own data centre on a language model hosted on your GPUs - including Qwen, Mistral, Bielik and PLLuM. We cover the reference environment, the platform constraint, GPU memory maths and three hardware tiers.
SAP Security Patch Day October 2026 - the month's only 10.0 has no SAP Note number
22 items, four rated critical, and the third 10.0 in three months. This time, though, the 10.0 belongs to no SAP Note at all. It sits in the SAP Cloud SDK for Python, which no SNOTE import or kernel swap will ever touch.
SAP S/4HANA Business Partner: who prepares customer and supplier data under RISE with SAP
SAP's RISE contract leaves Customer Vendor Integration and data clean-up with the customer, and from the end of 2030 systems on non-HANA databases can no longer be converted. What Business Partner requires of customer and supplier records, where the preparation effort goes, and SNOK's expert estimate of how much SNOK MDM can reduce it.
UiPath a Leader in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for agentic QA - and why SAP testing sits outside it
Gartner published its Magic Quadrant for Agentic Software Quality Assurance Platforms on 6 October 2026, naming UiPath one of four Leaders. The same report excludes packaged applications, SAP among them, from its scope. What the ranking measures, what it omits and how we test SAP with Test Cloud.
Full throttle, brakes still on order - weekly review W41
SNOK's review of 2-8 October 2026: UiPath and Snowflake, SAP buys TechWolf, A2A and MCP at SAP, Jev versus SAP RPT, HoneySAP, private data leaking through Jev's decisions, Anthropic Red Team Access and Gartner on vendor-built agents.
Regression testing for SAP, Oracle, IFS and PeopleSoft: UiPath's dark testing factory in practice
Oracle Fusion has four mandatory updates a year, SAP S/4HANA Cloud two major releases plus monthly hotfixes, IFS Cloud two releases. The vendor sets the date. UiPath's answer is the dark testing factory: a loop that assesses risk on every change, runs the regression and hands a person the release call, with evidence.
UiPath PartnerDay Enablement 2026
Two days with UiPath and its partners in Warsaw. After the main sessions, Thursday evening turned into relaxed conversations over a beer - with the UiPath team and with other partners, without any formality. We found those conversations as inspiring as the programme itself. They capture what we value in the UiPath ecosystem: a friendly, open atmosphere in which the vendor and its partners talk to each other directly. We attended as a UiPath Platinum Partner.
SAP Basis outsourcing in Poland: scope, SLAs and security
Most SAP Basis support contracts mention monitoring, patching and on-call cover. Few say who answers a security alert at 2 a.m., who decides which SAP Security Patch Day notes go live that week, or what replaces SAP Solution Manager monitoring after 2027. Here is our daily system check, how we read an SLA, and what Basis support combined with security looks like at a client we have worked with since 2023.
UiPath for security teams - what UiPath's own security function runs on its platform
UiPath's security team has described in public what it runs on its own platform: more than 60 agents investigating SIEM alerts and vulnerabilities scored in product context. We map where UiPath fits in a cybersecurity team against NIST CSF 2.0, what it does not do, and what has to be in place before a bot is given privileges.
SUSE named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Container Management - fleet governance, edge and sovereignty
Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Container Management, published on 2 September 2026, assesses sixteen vendors and places SUSE among seven Leaders. Gartner credits SUSE with managing mixed Kubernetes distributions from a single control plane, its edge position with K3s, and sovereign capabilities rooted in European ownership. The report also describes a market whose main problem is no longer deployment but governing clusters spread across vendors and locations.
