Book Description

Publication Date: December 31, 2001 | Series: Addison Wesley Sap Series

This book offers a complete overview of the security functions available in SAP products and the use of those functions within a company-wide security policy. Based upon these security functions, it also discusses the basics of data protection and their global implementation with SAP systems. Against the background of the growing importance of the internet and the integration of SAP systems into this open environment, we present what we hope is an exciting topic for our readers.From the outset, the authors knew that the book would speak to a diverse audience composed of both specialists with an extensive knowledge of operating systems and databases and those with intimate familiarity with SAP applications. It also offers specialists in security and data protection without comprehensive knowledge of SAP products an opportunity to become familiar with the means to meet the demands placed upon them.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, February 27, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Security and Data Protection for SAP Systems (Hardcover)

I recently purchased this book and returned it the next day. I was very disappointed in the lack of technical detail. Several areas were focused on Germany regulations and not appropriate for the US.

This review is from: Security and Data Protection for SAP Systems (Hardcover)

This book is not helpful to even the beginning SAP security administrator. It lacks technical information and does not include enough depth in any area to be of assistance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference for data protection in SAP systems, June 29, 2010

This review is from: Security and Data Protection for SAP Systems (Hardcover)

For the experienced security administrator this book is an excellent addition to the technical library. The book covers everything from policy to regulation to technical aspects of achieving this. The concepts in the book are applicable to all sets of regulation in this area, albeit being EU focussed.
