At your last Security & Control Focus Group event for 2025, not only will you get to meet the brand new committee who are working effortlessly behind the scenes to bring you the most up-to-date content and drive community development forward, but you'll also gain invaluable insights from security specialists across the SAP community.
Whether you have been part of the Security & Control Community for a while or are new to protecting your SAP landscape, this is your chance to connect with fellow professionals, swap war stories and discover practical solutions that help solve your biggest security challenges.
During this session, you will explore the critical role of security and compliance in ensuring a successful SAP transformation. Join Philippe Manolis from oXya as he shares real-world examples from complex SAP projects and migrations, demonstrating how the latest accelerators and tools can expedite, simplify and de-risk your SAP security build projects.
