Each month, we select and highlight security topics relevant to SAP customers. In February, we bring up to your attention the topic of Migration to SAP Cloud Identity Services with the focus on the SAP SuccessFactors. So if you are SuccessFactors customer and affected by this migration, make sure you join the session live.

If you can't join live, the materials (recording and pdf) will be available under https://webinars.sap.com/sap-user-groups-k4u/en/security.

Users are often created independently in multiple systems, with inconsistent authentication and single sign-on, and no end-to-end identity lifecycle management. SAP Cloud Identity Services provides a consistent, scalable solution for managing the identity lifecycle and single sign-on requirements for your organization's business users across all applications. SAP recommends that customers plan to migrate their SAP SuccessFactors systems to SAP Cloud Identity Services by 2025 to avoid system disruptions due to the phase-out of browser support for third-party cookies used to enable single sign-on. In this webinar, we will present the capabilities of SAP Cloud Identity Services and its overall strategic importance in your landscape. We will walk you through the process of migrating your SAP SuccessFactors instances to SAP Cloud Identity Services.

Each month, we select and highlight security topics relevant to SAP customers. In February we will talk about shared responsibility model for SAP S/4HANA Cloud.

The big advantage of the cloud for customers is that they do not have to worry about the security of the infrastructure. This also applies to the SAP S/4HANA application - to a certain extent. But what exactly is the customer's responsibility and what is SAP's? And what is the difference between SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Public Edition and SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Private Edition when it comes to responsibilities? This presentation examines the differences in detail and takes a closer look at the security aspects of the two deployment models "public cloud" and "private cloud".

Splunk® Security for SAP® solutions, an SAP Endorsed App, brings security events and alerts from SAP directly into Splunk to help defenders monitor, detect, investigate and respond to threats affecting SAP environments.

Join this webcast by Splunk and SAP experts to:

- Learn about the challenges to securing SAP environments

- Discover key use cases and benefits of Splunk Security for SAP solutions

In this session, we will guide you thru a brief overview of SAP Enterprise Threat Detection, cloud edition capabilities and its included managed cyber security service provided by SAP. This session will also cover how to:

• satisfy security, data protection and audit needs providing a higher visibility into SAP business applications
• obtain a competitive advantage through greater cyber resilience combined with an increased system confidentiality, integrity and availability
• lower the cost of managing, user behavior analytics and protecting data across multiple landscapes
• prevent of internal and external fraud
