LifecycleHub
The Lifecycle Hub offers fully automated functions for implementing SAP security measures. Certificates are centrally managed and renewed, SAP Notes are automatically imported, and support packages are updated securely and traceably.
Management and renewal of expiring certificates in SAP with PKI integration
Import security-relevant SAP Notes at the push of a button
Support Package Updates via the SPAM/SAINT process
Integration into existing ITSM & transport processes (e.g. JIRA, ServiceNow, RevTrac, ...)
Documentation and auditing of all safety-relevant changes
Challenges in SAP operations
High frequency of security-relevant patches
SAP regularly publishes new SAP Notes addressing security vulnerabilities. Identifying, assessing, and correctly implementing these vulnerabilities in a timely manner requires significant manual effort.
Certificate management as a vulnerability
Expired or incorrectly implemented certificates lead to communication interruptions and potential security gaps – often without adequate warning mechanisms or central overview.
Complex and risky support package updates
The system-wide import of Support Packages via SPAM/SAINT is time-consuming and, if performed manually, carries an increased risk of inconsistencies, especially with dependent components and incomplete queue configurations.
Lack of traceability
Security-critical changes are often not fully documented, which complicates compliance requirements and forensic analysis.
Lifecycle Hub as a solution
End-to-end automation of security-relevant tasks
From detection to implementation – processes such as certificate management, SAP Note implementation and support package updates (SPAM/SAINT) are fully automated.
Reduction of operational error sources
By replacing manual steps, configuration errors and process breaks are significantly reduced.
Plannable security through standardization
Repeatable, documented processes increase operational reliability and create a solid basis for audits and certifications.
Seamless integration into change management
automatics integrates directly into existing ITSM processes (e.g. ServiceNow) – with ticket coupling, approval workflows and change documentation.
