PortSwigger, a renowned application security software provider, is pleased to announce a partnership with SAP, a global leader in enterprise software solutions. This partnership aims to bolster SAP's web application security posture and protect its various online services by ensuring they meet global security standards.

SAP Sovereign Cloud Services (SCS) will leverage Burp Suite Enterprise Edition, PortSwigger's best-in-class Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) platform, to secure SAP's web applications from multi-tenant Platform-as-a-Service (PAAS) to single tenant Software-as-a-Service (SAAS) solutions, including:

  • ARIBA
  • Business Technology Platform (BTP)
  • Fieldglass
  • Gardener
  • HANA Cloud (HCLD)
  • Human Experience Management (HXM)
  • Identity Authentication Services (IAS)
  • Integrated Business Planning (IBP)
  • PAYROLL
  • S/4HANA Private Cloud Edition (PCE)
  • SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)
  • Shared Management Services (SMS)

With deployments spanning diverse, restricted cloud environments and complex architectures, SAP SCS needed a DAST solution that could meet the increasingly challenging demands of a modern, global enterprise to satisfy regional security requirements across Australia, Canada, United States, and United Kingdom. As the leading provider of web application security tooling, PortSwigger was the natural choice.
