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".
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.
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.
Vendor lock-in in 2026 - a golden padlock or a bunch of keys
Broadcom's VMware business grew 29% year on year while most large enterprises say they are cutting back on VMware. SAP is moving the line from licences to data, and open source can change its licence overnight. A column on the cost of staying with a vendor and the terms of leaving its platform.
UiPath Studio comes to the Mac in Public Preview - our first bot built on macOS
Since 1 October 2026, UiPath Studio runs natively on Apple silicon Macs as a Public Preview. We built a bot that pulls the euro exchange rate from the National Bank of Poland API on it. Here is what works, what is still missing and who can use it today.
Weekly review W40: enforcing AI agent permissions outside the prompt
SNOK's review of 25 September-1 October 2026: authorisation and containment for agents in SAP Joule Studio, SAP ERP 6.0 support dates, UiPath Cartographer, AG-UI 1.0, open decision models and a SNOK Press book on SAP security.
Tech Thursday with SNOK: SAP in energy utilities, Snowflake and UiPath agents - building governed data for AI
SAP on-premise, a billing system and a dozen domain applications make up the typical landscape of an energy utility. We describe an architecture in which data reaches Snowflake within the terms of the SAP licence, SNOK MDM resolves customer and supplier identity, and UiPath agents work under control.
SAP Cybersecurity from A to Z - the book is ready to download
I am sharing a 304-page book on SAP security: authorisations, attack paths, AI agents, an in-house red team lab, NIS2 and Poland's KSC act - with ready-made checklists and document templates for audits. Available in English and Polish.
How to use Jev with UiPath - where a decision model beats an LLM agent and where it fails
We tested the Jev decision model on four tasks from our UiPath projects. It classified emails at least as accurately as an LLM agent and roughly seven times faster, yet it approved three overbilled invoices. Here is where it fits in UiPath Maestro, AI Trust Layer and Delegate.
