Layer Seven Security is built exclusively to deliver advanced cybersecurity solutions for SAP environments. Its flagship product, the Cybersecurity Extension for SAP (CES), sets the standard for protecting cloud and on-premises SAP applications from ransomware and other advanced cyber threats. Distinguished by its full-stack monitoring capability, it goes beyond securing the application layer to the database and operating system layers.
The Cybersecurity Extension for SAP is an SAP-certified alternative for solutions such as Onapsis, SecurityBridge, Pathlock, SAP Enterprise Threat Detection (ETD) and SAP Code Vulnerability Analyzer (CVA). It is a leading competitor for such solutions.
CES is the only solution that offers full-spectrum SAP protection within one integrated platform. By avoiding a fragmented, modular approach, CES unifies vulnerability management, compliance reporting, patch management, custom code security, threat detection and response and anomaly detection under a single license.
“CES provides industry-leading protection for SAP solutions with rapid deployment, exceptional support and relatively low licensing costs,” says Aman Dhillon, Director.
Enterprises of all sizes, especially those under tight budgets, choose CES for these reasons and more. When a leading beverage manufacturer discovered it was spending heavily on a costly SAP cybersecurity solution that still left coverage gaps, it conducted a six-month proof-of-concept with CES. It delivered 40 percent more vulnerability and code checks, superior reporting, easier maintenance and a vastly improved user experience at less than 50 percent of the licensing cost of the previously deployed solution.
Built for speed and simplicity, CES installs directly into existing SAP systems such as S/4HANA, ECC or BW without requiring additional servers or infrastructure. SAP Basis administrators can deploy CES in a matter of hours.
The solution effortlessly integrates with leading security information and event management solutions like Splunk, QRadar, Sentinel and LogRhythm. Integration is also seamless with incident management platforms such as ServiceNow and Remedy. Through these integrations, SAP security events can be easily woven into enterprise-wide monitoring and cyberattack response strategies for enhanced protection.

Maintenance is equally streamlined with add-on patches. Monthly content updates are released on new patches, vulnerability checks and threat detection patterns, which can be easily applied in minutes. Further functional enhancements are also provided on a quarterly basis and can be applied using standard SAP steps.
An added advantage is CES’s modern, Fiori-based user interface. Adapting the design principles of standard SAP applications, it ensures a consistent, intuitive user experience.
CES’s capabilities are best illustrated by the results it has achieved for a global pharmaceutical client. The client required strengthening its cybersecurity protection amid a cloud migration of its on-premises SAP systems and the implementation of S/4HANA. Existing security tools proved inadequate at offering robust security, which is a gap that CES filled.
It secured the SAP applications and HANA platforms through automated vulnerability detection. Simultaneously, it optimized patch management and near-time SAP log monitoring with an incident detection and response solution. The result was a robust, continuously updated cybersecurity defense posture that aligned with stringent pharma industry requirements.
Beyond its solutions’ technical capabilities, Layer Seven Security is renowned for its hands-on, customer-first approach. Clients value direct access to experienced engineers and developers. Responsiveness to customization requests, which are often implemented at no extra cost, has become one of its defining strengths.
In step with SAP’s ongoing transformation, Layer Seven Security is expanding support for cloud services, including Business Technology Platform, SuccessFactors and Cloud ALM. Already optimized for RISE with SAP, CES can now be deployed directly into cloud environments without additional infrastructure or reliance on Enterprise Cloud Services.
As a trusted cybersecurity partner protecting the full SAP ecosystem, Layer Seven Security ensures the digital backbone of enterprises remains resilient, compliant and future-ready.
