Securing the Future: SAP Security, GRC & Agentic AI in the S/4HANA Era

Your S/4HANA migration isn't the finish line, it's the starting point for an increasingly complex, composable SAP landscape. As organisations extend into BTP, cloud-native services and AI-driven processes, the security stakes have never been higher. This collection of sessions brings together leading voices in SAP cybersecurity and access governance to help you stay ahead of the curve.

Cyber Resilience Meets AI: Protecting the Next Generation Enterprise.

Start the day with a keynote from Jon Longstaff, SAP to discuss how security professionals face continuing cyber threats including ransomware, supply chain compromise and identity-based attacks, while supporting their organisations in the rapid adoption of AI and Agentic technologies. This session explores how we can help organisations defend against modern attacks by using well known best practices, whilst also building a foundation for securing AI-enabled business systems.

The presentation will examine how core security methods including, governance, identity protection, monitoring and resilience, must evolve as AI becomes more autonomous and embedded into enterprise operations. You will gain practical insight into balancing innovation with trusted security in the era of agentic AI.

Next explore how the Onapsis Agentic Gateway is pioneering autonomous, AI-driven SAP risk management, enabling corporate-sanctioned AI platforms to query risk data, draft remediation plans and orchestrate cross-functional security workflows in natural language. Learn why clean core is the security foundation your BTP and AI ambitions depend on and where the shared responsibility model leaves gaps that most organisations haven't yet addressed.

Then discover how Pathlock is helping organisations break down the silos between SAP GRC and identity governance — uniting access controls, SoD analysis and compliant provisioning into a single, SAP-native approach that scales with your transformation journey.

Lastly, join James Wainaina, SAP for an insightful SAP Roadmap session. Gain a clearer picture of where SAP is headed and what it means for your organisation. In this session, James will unpack the latest SAP roadmap developments, giving SAP customers and end users the strategic insight they need to plan confidently, stay ahead of change and make the most of their SAP investment.

Whether you're a security lead, SAP architect or IT leader navigating S/4HANA, BTP adoption or evolving regulatory demands, these sessions offer practical, experience-led insight into:

Future-proofing your SAP security posture beyond migration
Closing the gaps in hybrid and cloud-native SAP landscapes
Embedding continuous security assurance across the S/4HANA lifecycle
Unifying GRC and identity governance to reduce audit risk and accelerate the business
Making AI work for — not against — your compliance and governance goals

Security doesn't have to be a gate. Done right, it's an enabler. Join the conversation and help shape what secure, intelligent SAP looks like for your organisation.
