The network intrusion detection and prevention system (IDPS) appliance market is composed of stand-alone physical and virtual appliances that inspect defined network traffic either on-premises or in the cloud. They are often located in the network to inspect traffic that has passed through perimeter security devices, such as firewalls, secure Web gateways and secure email gateways. IDPS devices are deployed in-line and perform full-stream reassembly of network traffic. They provide detection via several methods — for example, signatures, protocol anomaly detection, behavioral monitoring or heuristics, advanced threat defense (ATD) integration, and threat intelligence (TI). When deployed in-line, IDPSs can also use various techniques to detect and block attacks that are identified with high confidence; this is one of the primary benefits of this technology. Next-generation IDPSs have evolved in response to advanced targeted threats that can evade first-generation IDPSs.
SAP Security Software is a specialized suite of tools and technologies designed to protect SAP systems from unauthorized access, data breaches, and cyber threats. It ensures the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of critical business data by managing user access, monitoring system activity, and enforcing security policies. The software includes features like role-based access control, segregation of duties (SoD) analysis, real-time threat detection, and compliance management. It also supports automated user provisioning, vulnerability scanning, and audit logging to streamline security operations. By integrating with Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) and Identity Access Management (IAM) systems, SAP security software provides centralized control and visibility across the enterprise. Typical users include SAP security administrators, IT compliance officers, risk and audit teams, and enterprise IT managers who are responsible for maintaining secure, compliant, and resilient SAP environments.
