New features & improvements
Main features
New Target – SAP Analytics Cloud
SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) is a cloud-based analytics platform that combines business intelligence, planning and predictive analytics within a single solution. As SAC frequently connects to sensitive data sources, such as ERP, HR, finance and operational systems, and supports collaborative planning and data sharing, it is crucial to secure it in order to protect confidential business information, prevent unauthorized access or data leakage, ensure data integrity and meet regulatory and compliance requirements. A security breach in SAC could expose strategic insights, financial plans or personal data, which would have a direct impact on business continuity, trust and competitive advantage.
New Target – SAP Successfactors
SAP SuccessFactors is a cloud-based human capital management (HCM) suite that helps organizations manage core HR processes, including employee records, payroll-related data, performance management, recruitment, training and development, and workforce planning. As it stores and processes highly sensitive personal and employment data, such as compensation, performance evaluations, identification details and sometimes health or benefits information, securing SuccessFactors is critical in order to protect employee privacy, prevent identity theft or insider misuse, comply with data protection regulations such as GDPR and maintain employee trust. Failure to secure the system can lead to legal exposure, reputational damage, and serious disruption to HR operations and workforce confidence.
