Securing SAP Integration Suite

Security for SAP Integration Suite is shared—what are your responsibilities? Learn how to defend your cloud integrations by properly managing user identities and access and by protecting your iFlows, artifacts, APIs, communication channels, and more from common vulnerabilities. Set up proactive monitoring and alerting, get hands-on recovery strategies for when something does go wrong, and walk through checklists to quickly assess the security of your SAP Integration Suite projects.

• Manage user identities and service-level access to SAP Integration Suite
• Secure integration flows, Groovy scripts, and APIs
• Protect communication channels and set up proactive monitoring and alerts

In this book, you'll learn about

1. Security planning

   Design a secure governance and tenant strategy in SAP Integration Suite and understand the shared responsibility model, compliance requirements, and common risks. Use checklists to ensure best practices are consistently applied across iFlows, APIs, and connectivity layers.

2. Security implementation

   Walk through SAP Integration Suite security from end to end. Configure OAuth2 clients, validate inputs for iFlows, set up API proxies, enforce HTTPS/TLS across adapters, and so much more. Secure asynchronous communication using the advanced event mesh and learn how AI and machine learning can enhance security and increase automation.

3. Incident detection and response

   Detect anomalies, track errors across interfaces, define escalation paths, and respond to security-related incidents using tools like SAP Cloud ALM and DataDog. Review security incident playbooks and walk through the disaster recovery process.
