SAP ABAP Penetration Testing

Frederik Weidemann

August, 20th (1 day)

For many people SAP systems are like a black box even though these systems store critical business data. When talking about SAP security many people think of authorizations and segregations of duties but it isn’t that easy. Often these systems are vulnerable to attacks that are well known for years. The target group of this course are non-SAP specialists. We’ll give an introduction in a one day course how to do penetration testing on SAP NetWeaver ABAP systems. In a dedicated training environment the attendants will simulate attacks in hands-on exercises to get an understanding of the related threats and risks. Furthermore best practices and mitigation possibilities will be discussed.
