With more than 100,000 installations, SAP is the world's largest enterprise software company and the world's third largest independent software supplier overall.
Despite this widespread use, there have been very few books written on SAP implementation and security, despite a great deal of interest. (There are 220,000 members in an on-line SAP 'community' seeking information, ideas and tools on the IT Toolbox Website alone.) Managing SAP user authentication and authorizations is becoming more complex than ever, as there are more and more SAP products involved that have very different access issues. It's a complex area that requires focused expertise.
This book is designed for these network and systems administrator who deal with the complexity of having to make judgmental decisions regarding enormously complicated and technical data in the SAP landscape, as well as pay attention to new compliance rules and security regulations.
Most SAP users experience significant challenges when trying to manage and mitigate the risks in existing or new security solutions and usually end up facing repetitive, expensive re-work and perpetuated compliance challenges. This book is designed to help them properly and efficiently manage these challenges on an ongoing basis. It aims to remove the 'Black Box' mystique that surrounds SAP security.
* The most comprehensive coverage of the essentials of SAP security currently available: risk and control management, identity and access management, data protection and privacy, corporate governance, legal and regulatory compliance.
* This book contains information about SAP security that is not available anywhere else to help the reader avoid the "gotchas" that may leave them vulnerable during times of upgrade or other system changes
*Companion Web site provides custom SAP scripts, which readers can download to install, configure and troubleshoot SAP.

 Strong in some areas, disappointing in others.Jun 29, 2010
By sapmonkey
Very good from a Basis and architecture security perspective.
Below average from an authorisation concept, GRC and Identity Management perspective.
A worthwhile addition to the library for the Basis and architecture information. I would disagree that it is "The most comprehensive coverage of the essentials of SAP security currently available" with that honour going to the book by Linkies & Off.

probably the best book on SAP Security i've readSep 28, 2010
By k b
"kaneb80"
the details were practical, helpful for self-learning, and plenty of specifics while at the same time covering all the major topics I was looking to learn about on the subject of SAP Security. this was by far the best book I've read on the subject; wish I would've found it sooner. I'd buy from this author again!
Terrific book on SAP SecurityApr 30, 2009
By Michael A. Afendakis
"RedJuggerNaut"
I read this book cover to cover and the first thing I want to say is that it was an easy read. The author(s) are able to cover technical and functional topics in an easy to understand way. Often books use so much technical jargon that it is difficult to decipher. That being said the book also offers some very in depth discussion on key security topics.
I love that the SAP transactions are discussed (in the tools section and throughout)and reviewed that are useful in managing and deploying a proper security framework, that clear real life examples are used to help clarify the how's and why's of a particular subject.
I also liked the clarifying information on the Java Stack vs. the ABAP stack and the implications of those differences.
Overall - a great book and terrific read. This is a very useful book for Security administrators and managers to have at their disposal.

Basis Adminstrators a mustFeb 01, 2009
By Vedi Hartono
I have been doing most of my basis time on non J2EE system,
while I have an issue to change Administrator password of the portal system, I opened chapter 4, well this book can give me a good idea what to do and what I should be worry about. Not only it, I was reading more tips like we can let user do self registration and many other feature I never tried before already packed here with simple steps.
Basis adminstrators, this book is a must have.
