Onapsis and Verizon Join Forces to Accelerate and Secure SAP Customers’ Digital Transformation

ORLANDO, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–SAPPHIRE NOW 2019 – Onapsis,
the leader in business application cyber resilience, is joining forces
with Verizon to accelerate and protect SAP customers’ digital
transformation initiatives. Customers of the two companies who are
migrating their critical business applications to the SAP S/4HANA
platform, using Verizon’s software-defined or other networking
solutions, will now be able to access Onapsis’ end-to-end system and
application visibility, threat management and protection, and
streamlined compliance capabilities.

The anticipated results are shorter implementation timelines, a more
efficient change management process and measurable cost efficiencies.

“SAP applications and systems are the heartbeat of our customers’
operations and house their most sensitive and regulated data, including
financial records, personal data and intellectual property,” said
Mariano Nunez, CEO and Co-founder at Onapsis. “Cyber-threats against
these systems are increasing, as we saw most recently with the release
of the 10KBLAZE
exploits. As customers extend the edge of their networks and adopt
cloud, IoT and mobility solutions, the security and compliance of SAP
systems is growing in importance. We’re pleased to be working with
Verizon to ensure our joint customers can benefit from Onapsis’ business
application cyber resilience capabilities.”

“This relationship is about delivering the tools and practices required
to de-risk the deployment of network-reliant applications. Today’s
digital business environment, built on next-generation communications
infrastructure, is all about gaining customer experience and operational
insight at the edge,” said George Fischer, President, Verizon Global
Enterprise. “For many, SAP is the engine powering their
mission-critical, day to day operations and any interruption could have
a material impact on product delivery, customer support and revenue.
Cyber resiliency has an important role to play in protecting the digital
business, and we’re pleased to work with Onapsis to offer this
capability to all our customers to provide superior outcomes as they
continue on the digital transformation path.”

SAP is the world’s largest provider of enterprise application software,
serving more than 437,000 customers worldwide including 92 percent of
the Forbes Global 2000. Organizations leveraging SAP to run their
business distribute 78 percent of the world’s food supply and 82 percent
of medical devices. Seventy-seven percent of the world’s revenue flows
through SAP business applications and platforms.

Onapsis and Verizon will be hosting an executive boardroom event at
SAPPHIRE NOW 2019 in Orlando, Florida on Thursday, May 9^th at
2 pm ET titled: Plan
for Resiliency: SAP, S/4HANA, the Cloud and 5G. The
session will examine the 2025 SAP S/4HANA migration deadline and best
practices developed by early movers to S/4HANA including what obstacles
they faced, when and how cybersecurity and compliance need to be
considered, and how to best engage your application, network and
