SAP ERP systems are complex and consist of different modules and components that usually process sensitive data. SAP therefore regularly publishes patches and Security Notes to correct software errors and known vulnerabilities. If new patches or SAP security notes are not applied promptly or at all, open vulnerabilities could be exploited by attackers. This could then allow them to manipulate SAP ERP systems. This could compromise confidential data, cause services to fail, or bring entire business processes to a standstill.
