SecurityBridge for SAP - monitoring, threat detection and incident response

We deploy and operate SecurityBridge as a security layer for critical SAP systems. We combine threat detection, 24/7 monitoring, response playbooks and integration with Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, IBM QRadar, ArcSight or the client's existing SOC.

SNOK is a SecurityBridge Premier Partner in Poland.

What your organisation gains

Detecting attacks within minutes

SecurityBridge analyses events in an SAP-specific context: transactions, RFC connections, ABAP changes, audit logs and anomalies in SAP HANA. As a result, the security team sees events framed in terms the SAP system itself understands, not just raw logs.

NIS2 and DORA alignment without building a separate SOC for SAP

SecurityBridge supports the controls required under NIS2 and DORA in the areas of continuous monitoring, threat detection, audit logging and incident response. SNOK delivers this as a platform deployment combined with a managed service - from SecurityBridge configuration through to monitoring and alert handling.

Response to a critical incident within hours

SOAR playbooks structure the typical response scenarios: locking an account, escalating to the SOC, auditing changes, isolating a system or analysing suspicious activity. Response to an incident no longer depends solely on manual analysis by the Basis team.

One enterprise security picture

We integrate SecurityBridge with Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, IBM QRadar or ArcSight. SAP events reach the SOC alongside alerts from the rest of the infrastructure, while retaining the context required to correctly interpret SAP incidents.

What we deliver on this project

SecurityBridge platform deployment

We design the architecture, determine sizing, install the platform and configure connectors to SAP NetWeaver ABAP, SAP HANA and SAP BTP. Threat detection policies are tailored to the client's actual SAP environment.

SOAR playbook library

We prepare response scenarios for the most important use cases: data exfiltration from tables, unauthorised ABAP modification, privilege escalation through SU01/PFCG, RFC-based attacks and anomalies in SAP HANA.

Enterprise SIEM integration

We configure connectors to Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, IBM QRadar or ArcSight. SAP events are mapped so they can be handled within the client's existing SOC process.

Managed Detection and Response

Optionally, we provide 24/7 monitoring through the SNOK team, alerting in line with the client's procedures, and support for responding to critical incidents within a matter of hours.

Gap analysis and NIS2 / DORA mapping

Before deployment, we map the required regulatory controls onto SecurityBridge functions. After deployment, we prepare a compliance report that can support internal, external or regulatory audit.

Threat intelligence for SAP

We draw on SAP Security Notes, CVE information for SAP, threat signals from the SecurityBridge community and our own observations from production deployments.

How we deliver projects in this area

We begin a SecurityBridge deployment with an analysis of the client's SAP landscape: number of systems, instance types, logging scope, available historical data and the existing SIEM/SOC environment.

On this basis we prepare platform sizing, an architecture design, a list of priority detection policies and the scope of integration with the client's security tools.

We then configure SecurityBridge, activate connectors, deploy SOAR playbooks and integrate SAP events with the existing SOC process.

A full deployment with a playbook library typically takes 6-12 weeks, depending on the number of SAP systems and the scope of SIEM integration.

After go-live, we tune policies over the first quarter so that alerting has real business relevance and does not generate excessive noise.

FAQ - SecurityBridge for SAP

How does SecurityBridge differ from a classic SIEM? +

SecurityBridge is a specialised security layer for SAP. It understands the context of transactions, RFC connections, ABAP changes, audit logs and SAP HANA events. A classic SIEM sees the logs, but without additional interpretation it typically does not recognise their business meaning within SAP.

Does SecurityBridge replace Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk or IBM QRadar? +

No. SecurityBridge complements the existing SIEM/SOC with SAP context. Events from SAP can flow into Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, IBM QRadar or another security tool, already enriched with the information needed to assess an incident correctly.

Does SNOK operate SecurityBridge on an MDR basis? +

Yes. We can provide 24/7 monitoring, alert handling, incident escalation and collaboration with the client's SOC team. The scope of service is set based on the criticality of the SAP systems, regulatory requirements and the organisation's security procedures.

Does SecurityBridge support NIS2 and DORA compliance? +

Yes. SecurityBridge supports NIS2 and DORA compliance in the areas of monitoring, threat detection, event logging and incident response. SNOK performs a gap analysis and maps the platform's functions onto the client's specific controls and processes.

How long does a SecurityBridge deployment take? +

A standard deployment typically takes 6-12 weeks. Timing depends on the number of SAP systems, the scope of SIEM/SOC integration, logging quality, and the number of detection and response scenarios to be activated from day one of production.
