SecurityBridge Unveils Automated Virtual Patching to Protect SAP Systems from Vulnerabilities

SecurityBridge, the Cybersecurity Command Center for SAP, has launched its latest advancement: Virtual Patching. This innovative feature enhances SAP security by delivering automated protection for unpatched SAP systems starting on SAP Patch Day.

Virtual Patching serves as a cross-platform solution that seamlessly integrates SecurityBridge’s Patch Management and Threat Detection modules. It provides real-time defense against vulnerabilities by notifying SAP administrators whenever unpatched code is identified. This ensures that affected SAP systems remain protected until official patches are available, enabling administrators to adhere to their patch management processes without sacrificing security.

“Our cross-functional innovation in Virtual Patching underscores SecurityBridge’s leadership in SAP security,” remarked Holger Hügel, Product Management Director at SecurityBridge. “With this 100 percent automated approach, SAP systems are safeguarded from the first moment a vulnerability is disclosed, ensuring continuous protection.”

Key Features of SecurityBridge’s Virtual Patching Include:

• Automated Threat Detection: Alerts are generated exclusively for impacted SAP systems, ensuring that notifications are targeted and relevant.
• Pre-configured Signatures: SecurityBridge updates its Threat Detection signatures via the cloud, eliminating the need for manual system updates.
• Patch Day Protection: SAP systems are automatically shielded from vulnerabilities when new SAP SecurityNotes are issued on Patch Tuesday.

Following the release of version 6.30 in early October 2024, Virtual Patching is now part of the SecurityBridge Platform subscription, positioning it as an essential tool for enterprises aiming to enhance their SAP security operations.
