SAP Enterprise Cloud Services (ECS) will implement CyberArk to secure privileged and sensitive access to their cloud services with zero standing privileges, protecting client data and allowing for easier auditing.
SAP ECS is the biggest private cloud in the world. With hundreds of thousands of servers, it runs the core operations of more than 6,000 of the largest organizations worldwide, across all major industries.
To manage and secure privileged access and increase cyber resilience, SAP ECS’s defensive architecture team will deploy several components of the CyberArk Identity Security Platform, including CyberArk Secure Cloud Access.
The project includes enforcing zero standing privileges to all sessions, whether they are related to cloud consoles, applications or database access – all from a single user interface.
Roland Costea, CISO Enterprise Cloud Services and Executive Vice President, SAP, said: “My team’s vision for introducing CyberArk to SAP ECS is to build next-generation identity security for the business, providing the highest possible level of protection and reassurance to our global customer base.
Matt Cohen, Chief Executive Officer, CyberArk, said: “With identity-based attacks on the rise, a new paradigm is required for identity security – one where every identity is secured with the right level of privilege controls,”
“The team at SAP ECS understands this and has laid out a bold vision for protecting its customers through zero standing privileges and just-in-time access.”
