SAP provides various business solutions including CRM, ERP, PLM, SCM and GRC. It consists of integrated modules running on the Netweaver platform across multiple operating systems. While SAP aims to provide centralized information, weaknesses in its default security configurations and common practices like weak passwords and direct database access leave systems vulnerable to compromise. Proper security measures such as regular password changes, limiting SAP_ALL access, and disabling auto-unlocking can help address these risks.
