Onapsis, the global leader in SAP cybersecurity and compliance, has announced the launch of its highly anticipated book, “Cybersecurity for SAP,” during the upcoming SAPinsider North America event held at the Bellagio in Las Vegas from March 18-20, 2025. The book, co-authored by Juan Pablo (JP) Perez-Etchegoyen, Chief Technology Officer of Onapsis, and Gaurav Singh, Senior Manager of SAP Security at Under Armour, is positioned as a vital resource for addressing the increasingly complex landscape of cyber threats affecting SAP systems. Perez-Etchegoyen emphasizes the urgency of this initiative, noting that even in 2025 many organizations continue to harbor misconceptions about security, which could result in significant gaps and risks. He expresses hope that the book will illuminate the subject for both SAP and IT security professionals, providing a comprehensive guide that goes beyond traditional SAP security controls to cover the broader realm of cybersecurity.
The publication has been developed as a definitive guide designed to empower readers with actionable security roadmaps, drawing on frameworks such as the SAP secure operations map and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF). The guide offers detailed, step-by-step instructions for implementing robust infrastructure and network security measures essential for protecting critical SAP systems. Gaurav Singh describes the book as an effort to bridge the gap between SAP security and the wider world of cybersecurity, aiming to create a unified approach within organizations that have traditionally operated within two separate silos. This innovative resource, available through SAP-Press, promises to be an indispensable asset for SAP administrators, risk management professionals, and cybersecurity experts who need to secure their business-critical applications against evolving threats.
The announcement is further bolstered by a series of exclusive sessions at SAPinsider, including “Securing SAP RISE and SAP BTP: Latest Innovations and Best Practices” and a unique vendor session led by Perez-Etchegoyen himself titled “Understanding and Preventing Attacks on SAP Applications.” Mariano Nunez, CEO of Onapsis, underscores the company’s longstanding commitment to SAP cybersecurity, highlighting that the concept of “SAP Cybersecurity” was introduced over a decade ago to address the growing inadequacy of conventional SAP security measures. With this book now serving as a comprehensive reference, industry professionals are equipped with critical insights into known vulnerabilities, attack vectors, and practical security measures that are crucial for detecting and mitigating incidents. The event, with pre-conference sessions beginning on March 17, sets the stage for a deeper exploration into the future of SAP cybersecurity, fostering a collaborative spirit among experts dedicated to protecting digital infrastructures.
