All SAP customers, without exception, run in-house developments in their system landscapes that are based on ABAP, the programming language created by SAP. Sometimes these are entire programs and sometimes they are merely adjustments of existing solutions.

Multiple individuals or groups are usually involved in the development of these programs or customer-specific adjustments. This means that a great deal of time and resources have to be invested in quality assurance, theGuard! SmartChange and Application Security and Code Profiling can now relieve you of this burden.

The product will automatically scan your ABAP code for vulnerabilities or inefficient programming routines and summarize them in a detailed report. But the analysis includes more than just a list of the weaknesses, it provides specific recommendations on how to deal with them. Furthermore, the solution is also able to automatically eliminate up to 70 % of potential problems. More complex code adjustments can be performed by REALTECH's expert consultants who are able to adapt them to individual requirements and put them into context with other aspects of security, for example, SAP authorizations.

This allows you to minimize the risk of potential security breaches caused by your ABAP code and to significantly improve the performance of your in-house developments.

theGuard! SmartChange Application Security and Code Profiling

driven by VirtualForge Code Profiler Technology

Our Application Security and Code Profiling module identifies weaknesses and makes recommendations on how to address them. It detects a large number of potential security issues - from vulnerabilities that can be exploited to inject code to the entry of unauthorized operating system commands and the execution of unauthorized transactions.

With theGuard! Smart Change you can automatically review your ABAP code and identify the causes of performance problems in the program code.

theGuard! SmartChange also constitutes a quality assurance tool. It recognizes bad code while still in the development system, preventing it from affecting your SAP production landscape. As another benefit, you can use this software to easily and accurately assess the quality of adjustments made by third-party providers.

Auditors can use theGuard! to find errors in the program code that could potentially lead to the violation of regulatory requirements. Back doors such as unauthorized transactions are quickly detected.

Companies can also optimize their SAP Change Management processes by integrating theGuard! SmartChange Application Security & Profiling with the authorization workflows of theGuard! TransportManager. The combination of the review process and the transport approval process prevents the delivery of erroneous programs before they cause any harm.

You can rely on the know-how of a leading expert for SAP application security. theGuard! SmartChange Application Security and Code Profiling is based on the technology of Virtual Forge CodeProfiler.
