Austin, TX (PRWEB) August 8, 2005 -- Sucid Corporation, the leader in SAP
testing, today announced that it has released Sucid Security, a new product that
automates SAP security testing. Sucid Security enables security administrators
to run automated tests that ensure that employees can access the functions
required to do their jobs while protecting sensitive corporate data and
maintaining regulatory compliance.
It is difficult to say which is more
important in today’s environment -- making sure employees can do what they are
supposed to be able to do, or making sure they cannot do what they are not
supposed to be able to do. Reliance on enterprise software applications has
reached a point where work stops and productivity plummets when access to these
applications is lost. At the same time, businesses must be extremely concerned
with properly limiting access to sensitive data and business functions -- both
due to internal drivers like intellectual property protection and external
regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley.
Security administrators responsible
for configuring and managing SAP security profiles can attest that meeting these
two opposing security goals for a large enterprise is a very challenging job.
Users can be assigned multiple SAP security profiles with conflicting
permissions and constraints, and changes made to SAP applications each week can
unexpectedly upset the delicate security balance, blocking users from work or
opening holes and exposing the business to significant risk.
Today
security administrators respond to help desk calls from users who can’t do their
work. They experiment with SAP profile configurations and ask users to try again
until they are able to once again do their job. It is a very inefficient
process, and a great deal of business productivity is lost, but it gets the job
done. However, security administrators do not receive help desk calls when
changes result in security exposures.
Sucid Security automates SAP
security testing. Once a set of business processes have been modeled using Sucid
Process Modeler, a security administrator can use Sucid Security to run
automated SAP security tests against the transactions that comprise these
business processes. The administrator can test an individual user or a group of
users, or he or she can run a test for a security profile or a group of security
profiles. In the latter case, Sucid Security will test each individual user that
has been assigned the profile to be tested. Both positive and negative tests can
be run to ensure that business users can do what they are supposed to do, and
cannot do what they are not supposed to do.
"Security continues to top
the list of concerns for information technology executives, and it has now also
become a top concern for CFOs with the introduction of regulatory legislation
such as Sarbanes-Oxley," said David Wilson, president and CEO of Sucid. "The
addition of security testing to our SAP test automation product line further
sets Sucid apart as the only vendor focused on end-to-end SAP test
automation."
