In today’s digital world, where data is the new gold, its protection has become a priority for every company. Particularly in the context of SAP systems, which are the operational backbone of many enterprises, ensuring the security of this data is not only a technical matter, but also a strategic one. However, securing these systems comes with certain challenges, including the costs associated with managing data through SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) solutions. Is there a way to optimise these costs without compromising on the quality of protection? The answer is: yes, thanks to SecurityBridge and SNOK’s services.
The problem of high data costs
Traditional SIEM solutions (such as IBM QRadar or Microsoft Sentinel), while essential for ensuring information security and managing security events, are not “aware” of SAP-specific nuances. This means they must be fed enormous amounts of SAP security data, which leads to high and unpredictable costs. Sending all SAP security events to SIEM systems generates not only significant costs, but also poses an enormous challenge for SIEM providers in extracting genuine threats from unfiltered data.
How does SecurityBridge solve this problem?
SecurityBridge, with its advanced Threat Detection solution, offers a pragmatic way out of this situation. Instead of flooding SIEM systems with every security event, SecurityBridge focuses on sending only the data that qualifies as threats, together with the associated events that led to them. This approach allows for a drastic reduction in the volume of data sent to SIEM - by more than 90% - which translates into significant cost savings.
SNOK’s role in optimising SAP-SIEM data costs
As a Gold SAP partner, SNOK plays a key role in implementing and optimising SecurityBridge solutions for SAP systems. Thanks to deep expertise in SAP technology and security, SNOK helps clients not only secure their systems, but also optimise the costs associated with managing SIEM data. By tailoring the SecurityBridge configuration to specific business needs, SNOK ensures that only the most relevant threats are forwarded to SIEM, enabling more efficient use of resources and reduced costs.
Tangible business benefits
Cost reduction is only one of many benefits arising from optimising the flow of data into SIEM systems. By reducing the volume of data processed, SIEM solutions can operate more efficiently, resulting in faster detection of and response to threats. Moreover, by focusing on qualified threats, security teams can better manage alerts, leading to an overall increase in the organisation’s security level.
Summary
In the era of digital transformation, optimising costs while ensuring a high level of data security is a key challenge for enterprises. Thanks to the cooperation between SecurityBridge and SNOK, companies can now effectively reduce their SAP-SIEM data costs without compromising on the quality of protection. This approach not only delivers tangible financial benefits, but also increases operational efficiency and the level of security, which is invaluable in today’s fast-changing business environment.
