smarterSec Patch Impact Analyzer

The smart way to an established SAP security patch management process

What is the Patch Impact Analyzer?

The smarterSec Patch Impact Analyzer performs an in-depth analysis for each new SAP Security Note and determines the potential impact of a correction in the ABAP source code and, ultimately, on your SAP system.

This optimally supports and simplifies the SAP security patch management process for our customers, resulting in less testing effort and significant time savings.

Note: The smarterSec Patch Impact Analyzer is compatible with all SAP systems based on SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP (SAP ECC 6.0, SAP S/4HANA, etc.).

The Challenges of Patching

Although it is strongly recommended that the SAP Security Notes are implemented promptly, many SAP customers struggle with this recommendation due to these major problems:

Complexity of SAP Landscapes

SAP systems are often customized to a great extent, with numerous modules, interfaces, and add-ons. Even a minor update to a software patch can lead to unanticipated consequences, potentially breaking custom code or business-critical processes.

Downtime & Testing Effort

Every patch must undergo thorough and extensive testing to ensure that daily operations and business-critical processes remain uninterrupted. Departments are often concerned about this potential disruptions, which can lead to delayed or even omitted security patches.

Security vs. Stability

The effects of SAP Security Notes are unclear. This creates a dangerous trade-off between closing vulnerabilities and maintaining system stability. Additionally, software components that are not actively used are often neglected, leaving vulnerabilities that can be exploited.

To address these challenges, we have developed the smarterSec Patch Impact Analyzer. The process is divided into the following steps:
