Welcome! I’m Andreas Kirchebner, Senior Manager at Accenture. I help our clients to improve the security of their SAP environment and integrating these systems into their information security framework. As the global topic lead for SAP Security Strategy, Governance, Enablement, and SAP System Security, I’m responsible to streamline and standardize our services and assets. With 13 years of experience on the client side, I know the challenges of operations from personal experience and not just from a consulting perspective.
we need to talk…
A few years ago, when I was working on the customer side, I created this website to help SAP-Security beginners get started. But now, working in the consulting, and having had a break of writing content, I decided to continue. But more from the point of view of raising awareness.
Despite SAP customers generating 84% of global commerce, awareness of SAP security remains low at cybersecurity events. And finding someone who is familiar with it is even more difficult. With the global commerce projection1 of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) of $ 110,06 trillion for the year 2024, I would assume that there goes quite a lot of money through SAP systems. In other words, there are companies which are lossing millions if an SAP-System will have an outage. It’s time to talk about SAP-Security.
revamping website focus
Due to the focus shift, the website will have both German and English articles, and as this is a hobby alongside my job and kids, this overlap will remain for some time. Over the long I will adjust and rewrite some articles to bring them up to date or enhance the content. On top you will find some important dates in the event calendar.
So stay tuned, I’m eager to hear back from you. Feel free to reach out to me on LinkedIn.
Best,
Andreas
