Cyber Resilience with SAP on Azure

Protecting SAP applications on cloud can be complex. Common infrastructure SLAs, high availability or disaster recovery are not enough to protect your SAP workloads. Kyndryl has brought together two of our most mature services to fill the protection gap: SAP Managed on Cloud and Cyber Resiliency.

Our cyber resilient SAP solution ensures the business data from SAP (SAP Business Suite, SAP HANA, or S/4HANA) is protected with our NIST-aligned cyber protection.

This offering protects your business in several ways:

• Data replication with air gapping
• Immutable storage
• Anomaly scanning
• AI-enabled recovery of SAP on Azure.

Kyndryl’s architects have designed the solution to integrate with the cloud-native environment provided by Azure, with Azure AD for single-sign on, Microsoft Defender for security services, Microsoft Sentinel for event correlation and AI enablement, and other custom services.

By ensuring your SAP data is protected, scanned for anomalies, segregated, and ready for recovery, Kyndryl can limit your exposure to a cyber attack (or ransomware attack) and help recover your business quickly in the event of such an attack.

Why does this matter? Why should you care? A cyber event costs an organization, on average, $4.24M with outages up to 280+ days. SAP landscapes cannot handle outages longer than a few days, much less weeks or months. By utilizing Kyndryl’s expertise, combined with Azure’s SAP HANA platforms and cloud-native SAP extensions, organizations ensure their critical business data has the protection needed in a digital-friendly ecosystem.

Terms, conditions, and pricing are custom to each engagement. Please contact us to discuss a solution to meet your business needs. Offer availability may be limited in some countries.
