Securing SAP in the Cloud: Introducing bowbridge Anti-Virus 4.0 - Cloud

Dec 12, '24 by Joerg Schneider-Simon

As organizations increasingly transition their SAP environments to the cloud, the need for robust security has never been greater. Protecting critical business data in these cloud-based systems is a complex challenge — one that traditional on-premises solutions often fail to meet. Recognizing this, bowbridge has developed a powerful new solution designed to secure your SAP infrastructure in the cloud: bowbridge Anti-Virus 4.0 - Cloud for SAP® Solutions.

The Cloud Migration Challenge

The shift to cloud-based SAP environments offers undeniable advantages, such as scalability and cost-efficiency. However, it also introduces unique security vulnerabilities. Traditional approaches to cybersecurity often leave gaps during cloud migration, exposing sensitive data to threats like malware, cross-site scripting (XSS), and embedded malicious content.

Successfully navigating this transition requires expertise in both SAP systems and cutting-edge cybersecurity — something that many organizations find challenging to source in-house.

Introducing bowbridge Anti-Virus 4.0 - Cloud for SAP® Solutions

bowbridge Anti-Virus 4.0 is a groundbreaking solution designed to meet the unique demands of cloud-based SAP systems. With its rapid implementation, organizations can deploy it in as little as 15 minutes, minimizing downtime and ensuring a seamless transition to the cloud. Unlike many other solutions, bowbridge operates with a minimal system footprint — requiring no operating system (OS)-layer access after the initial installation and creates no local processes on SAP instances.

Additionally, bowbridge’s flexibility allows you to choose between shared scan clusters or hosting your dedicated backend scan clusters in your preferred cloud provider, ensuring that your security solution aligns with your broader infrastructure strategy. Its universal compatibility ensures it integrates effortlessly with all SAP applications, eliminating the need for code changes and reducing complexity for IT teams.
