SAP ABAP Security Fundamentals  – That Developers & Application Security Experts
Need To Know

Open Training Sessions
Fundamentals of Securing ABAP® Based Business Applications

This class teaches you how to look for security vulnerabilities in ABAP® based business applications, understanding their root causes, what to do when you find them, and how to avoid creating them. In two half-day sessions you will learn to detect code security flaws in the ABAP® programming language that result in software vulnerabilities. A live instructor will guide you through seven different security modules providing insight from both the attackers and defenders perspectives covering the combination of the most severe and most common security flaws in ABAP® applications. Topics are broken down into bite-sized concepts followed by real-world exercises that allow you to directly apply what you’ve learned.

A Taste of What You Will Learn:

  • You will learn the prevailing security flaws and threats facing ABAP® code and the most important drivers of security and their opponents within SAP environments
  • Learn how to perform a code vulnerability analysis to identify and classify flaws then prioritize which ones to tackle first. In addition, you will gain a deeper understanding of how to resolve vulnerabilities in-line with best practices
  • You will gain a deeper understanding of  processes, controls, and techniques that help you develop more secure code from the beginning
  • Learn which security flaws need to be communicated to stakeholders during the software development life-cycle and the best way to get in the habit of notifying others about missing or insufficient security requirements and design flaws in the review and testing phases
