impact20 Session: Securing SAP at DNOW: A Case Study in Proactive Cybersecurity with Onapsis
Description

This session presents a case study on how DNOW, a leading global supplier and distributor of energy and industrial products, leveraged Onapsis to fortify its SAP landscape against modern cyber threats. You will explore the critical role of remediation and patching as the cornerstone of their cybersecurity strategy. The discussion will highlight how Onapsis streamlined the identification and resolution of patching issues, drastically improving their security posture. Gain insight into DNOW’s success in reducing the attack surface by minimizing the use of highly privileged profiles like SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW. Attendees will learn how Onapsis’ insights enabled a significant reduction in the number of users with overly permissive access rights, aligning with the principle of least privilege. Furthermore, we will share real-world examples of how Onapsis’ capabilities helped DNOW identify and flag suspicious user activity, providing timely alerts on privileged ID logins and role assignments, and ultimately enhancing their ability to detect and respond to potential security incidents. This session is a must-attend for any organization looking to build a more resilient and secure SAP environment.

You will:

  • Understand how effective remediation and patching can significantly strengthen SAP security and reduce exposure to modern cyber threats.
  • Learn practical strategies for reducing SAP attack surfaces by limiting highly privileged access and enforcing least-privilege principles.
  • See how real-time visibility into user activity and privileged access can improve threat detection and incident response in SAP environments.
