What is SAP SIEM?
SAP Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) comprises software products and services combining Security Information Management (SIM) and Security Event Management (SEM). They are used to monitor and analyze security alerts across SAP applications in real-time.
SAP SIEM provides an Enterprise Threat Monitor tool which manages SAP security events by analyzing various log sources like SAP change documents and SAP security audio log (SM19 log). Enterprise Threat Monitor can work stand-alone as well as in conjunction with Splunk, QRadar or ArcSight.
Enterprise Threat Monitor acts as a bridge between the SAP systems and SIEM platform. It is responsible for retrieval of security event information from SAP and eliminates false positives using machine learning.

Frequently Asked Questions about Cyber Security Solutions
SAP ETD and classical SIEM products both monitor information contained in logs but their focus is different. Events like critical transaction, debugging, authorization change or meta information like employee position are only available in application level log files. Classical SIEM products can only partly monitor the SAP application level as their focus is on the infrastructure level. Or might not even monitor the SAP environment at all.
SAP ETD can be integrated with other leading SIEM products like QRadar or ArcSight. While SAP ETD can monitor application level, the SIEM tool can monitor infrastructure and network level. This approach is adopted by large or medium sized companies which already have a SIEM product.
Technically it is possible to integrate SAP log files with some of the SIEM products. But it comes with some downsides:
- Some SAP log files like Business Transaction log can produce huge logs files in the region of 1 Terabyte per day. This may have a negative influence on the performance of the SIEM product.
- You stand to miss out on the constant SAP security updates with latest protections against new vulnerabilities. SAP provides virtual patching to protect your SAP landscape.
- Hackers cover their tracks by deleting entries from the log files to avoid detection. So direct integration of SAP logs might be useless in this scenario as they have already been tampered by the hacker. With SAP ETD, log files are duplicated in real time. Even if the original data is tampered, the duplicate file still contains the trace of the hackers activities which can be analyzed and enable rapid response to safeguard the SAP environment.
