There are several factors that go into this increased risk level:<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Devices:<\/strong> Unlike in-house SAP access, FIORI is often accessed via mobile device. Many organizations assume that these devices, as long as they\u2019re not rooted or jailbroken, are adequately secured by the manufacturer. That may or may not be the case. Depending on how the device is configured, hackers may easily be able to access secure data. In addition, if the user is careless with their device security (e.g., no lock screen, leaving the device unattended), no amount of manufacturer-implemented safeguards will matter.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8233 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bowbridge.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/mobile-users-300x178.png\" alt=\"28% of smartphone users do not have a screen lock on their phone\" width=\"300\" height=\"178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bowbridge.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/mobile-users-300x178.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bowbridge.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/mobile-users.png 339w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nThe Network:<\/strong> If a user is accessing FIORI from their encrypted home network, that is one thing. However, the very nature of FIORI means that it is often used while on the go. Free and unprotected wi-fi in public places is convenient but provides no network security to users. This can allow access to any cybercriminal who wishes to digitally eavesdrop on FIORI sessions. In addition, with the public server acting as a midpoint between the client and the FIORI gateway server, these applications are particularly vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks, where the cyberattacker creates a redirect, allowing them to retrieve sensitive information and confidential data.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Environment: <\/strong>How much thought do we put into the people who are around us, possibly spying on what we\u2019re doing? A user might not think anyone is watching them enter their credentials into FIORI, but cyberattackers lurk everywhere and are only too happy to sneakily film a user typing in their login information so they can use it later to infiltrate the system.<\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/explore.bowbridge.net\/sap-e-recruiting-is-your-recruitment-application-secure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">our own research<\/a>, we saw that an alarming percentage of SAP installations are not adequately protected from malicious uploads. Combine that with the increased ease of access FIORI brings, and you have a tunnel straight into the heart of a company\u2019s most vital data.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center; margin: 50px 0px;\">\n<p><!--HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><span id=\"hs-cta-wrapper-49ef54e0-3f58-49bc-aefd-37f0f0261ef8\" class=\"hs-cta-wrapper\"><span id=\"hs-cta-49ef54e0-3f58-49bc-aefd-37f0f0261ef8\" class=\"hs-cta-node hs-cta-49ef54e0-3f58-49bc-aefd-37f0f0261ef8\"><!-- [if lte IE 8]>\n\n\n<div id=\"hs-cta-ie-element\"><\/div>\n\n\n<![endif]--><a href=\"https:\/\/cta-redirect.hubspot.com\/cta\/redirect\/2773339\/49ef54e0-3f58-49bc-aefd-37f0f0261ef8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"hs-cta-img-49ef54e0-3f58-49bc-aefd-37f0f0261ef8\" class=\"hs-cta-img\" style=\"border-width: 0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/2773339\/49ef54e0-3f58-49bc-aefd-37f0f0261ef8.png\" alt=\"DOWNLOAD THE RESEARCH: CAN SAP E-RECRUITING EXPOSE YOUR COMPANY TO RISK?\" \/><\/a><\/span><script charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"https:\/\/js.hscta.net\/cta\/current.js\"><\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> hbspt.cta.load(2773339, '49ef54e0-3f58-49bc-aefd-37f0f0261ef8', {}); <\/script><\/span><!-- end HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Cybersecurity Risk Profiles: CRM, ERP, SRM<\/h3>\n<p>There are a multitude of applications that can be accessed through FIORI. However, the most commonly accessed apps route through one of three back-end SAP products: CRM, ERP, and SRM.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s look at each app in detail:<\/p>\n<h4>CRM<\/h4>\n<p>SAP CRM is the lifeblood of many a sales team. And its associated FIORI apps <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?time_continue=40&amp;v=v6tOQlBTAY4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">make it easy<\/a> for reps to access vital data while on the road.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the applications a sales rep would use include My Accounts, My Contacts, My Opportunities, and My Tasks. These apps allow reps to access vital information on accounts, contacts, and opportunities, and more importantly (for cybersecurity purposes at least) create new accounts, contacts, opportunities, and tasks, as well as upload and attach files to each one.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowbridge.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/sap-fiori-CRM.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8194 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bowbridge.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/sap-fiori-CRM.jpg\" alt=\"SAP FIORI CRM\" width=\"728\" height=\"390\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bowbridge.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/sap-fiori-CRM.jpg 728w, https:\/\/www.bowbridge.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/sap-fiori-CRM-300x161.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>SRM<\/h4>\n<p>If you do purchasing, SRM is always close to hand.

For example, they can:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Block access to the HTTP port on the NetWeaver Gateway server at the firewall<\/li>\n<li>Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security<\/li>\n<li>Allow access to critical FIORI apps only over VPN<\/li>\n<li>Implement redirections from HTTP to HTTPS URLs in Web Dispatcher and ICM<\/li>\n<li>Activate <a href=\"https:\/\/explore.bowbridge.net\/blog\/ensuring-sap-file-format-integrity-mime-type-checks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MIME-type integrity checks<\/a> on their SAP application<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>The Environment<\/h4>\n<p>We outlined above how the FIORI\u2019s use environment is a big contributor towards its heightened cybersecurity vulnerabilities. The good news is this factor can largely be mitigated with some best practices and diligence. For example, FIORI users should be reminded to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use strong password protection on their mobile devices<\/li>\n<li>Never leave their devices unattended when in public<\/li>\n<li>Avoid using public wi-fi<\/li>\n<li>Always be aware of their surroundings, particularly when entering login credentials<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Third-Party Options<\/h3>\n<p>In-house SAP cybersecurity options are an excellent start. However, as mentioned above, SAP faces a multitude of risks already. Some are due to internal factors (e.g., lack of clarity in who is responsible for SAP cybersecurity, severe shortage of SAP cybersecurity professionals), while others are simply a part of how SAP is constructed (e.g., standard anti-virus programs not being able to recognize or address SAP cybersecurity threats). With more and more people using FIORI, the threats to SAP as a whole are only increasing.<\/p>\n<p>Because of this, top companies are recognizing the need for reliable third-party solutions.<\/p>\n<h4><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8289 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bowbridge.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/mobile-security-complacent.png\" alt=\"Mobile Security Complacent\" width=\"313\" height=\"276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bowbridge.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/mobile-security-complacent.png 313w, https:\/\/www.bowbridge.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/mobile-security-complacent-300x265.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 313px) 100vw, 313px\" \/><\/h4>\n<h4>The Benefits of Third-Party SAP Cybersecurity Solutions<\/h4>\n<p>In today\u2019s cybersecurity landscape, companies need to be vigilant.
