SAP HANA Security

SAP HANA Security is a practical 60-page PDF book from oJAYo.com. Users, privileges, auditing and encryption in SAP HANA, explained for beginners.

SAP HANA is the in-memory database underneath SAP S/4HANA, SAP BW/4HANA and many other SAP applications — and a platform in its own right for analytics and applications. Everything an SAP system knows ultimately lives in it. Yet HANA security is often treated as “something the Basis team set up once”, while all the attention goes to application roles.

That is a gap attackers and auditors both notice. A powerful database user, an active superuser, a missing audit policy or an unencrypted backup can undo the best application authorization concept.
