XM Cyber, a leading hybrid cloud security company, has announced a strategic partnership with SAP, a market leader in enterprise application software. This new partnership will bring together XM Cyber’s Exposure Management Platform and attack-path technology with SAP’s solutions, such as RISE with SAP and SAP eCommerce Cloud, to help organizations transition their data and processes to the cloud with less risk and without compromise.
According to XM Cyber’s recent research, 71 percent of organizations have exposures in their on-premise networks that put critical assets in the cloud at risk, highlighting the need for stronger hybrid security controls. Through this partnership, SAP and XM Cyber aim to provide organizations with the data and intelligence needed to quickly remediate the risks that matter most by offering an attacker’s perspective with holistic attack-path modeling.
SAP will also utilize XM Cyber to secure its own hybrid cloud and IT infrastructure. The platform provides SAP with continuous attack identification, remediation, monitoring, and validation capabilities. “Partners like XM Cyber, with its attack-path modeling technology, are uniquely positioned to help us and our customers reduce risks within hybrid environments, enhancing resilience against attacks and increasing overall security posture,” said Tim McKnight, EVP and Chief Security Officer at SAP.
XM Cyber’s platform is now available for purchase in the SAP Store, the online marketplace for solutions from SAP and its trusted partners. SAP partners can also benefit from this offer and add their own managed service offering. The offer extends to XM Cyber’s continuous control monitoring capabilities, which ensures existing security controls are well-configured and helps enterprises automate compliance against standards such as ISO, NIST, SWIFT, and GDPR.
During SAP Sapphire, a two-day event taking place on May 16-17, XM Cyber will be showcasing their exposure management technology and demonstrating how organizations can protect themselves from cyber-attacks targeting critical applications.
“Through this strategic partnership, we are harnessing the combined expertise of SAP with our proven technology to help streamline the reduction of risk and the remediation of exposures within organizations,” said Noem Erez, CEO, and co-founder of XM Cyber.
XM Cyber is changing the way organizations approach cyber risk by demonstrating how attackers leverage and combine misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, identity exposures, and more, across AWS, Azure, GCP, and on-prem environments to compromise critical assets. With XM Cyber, organizations can see all the ways attackers might advance, and all the best ways to stop them, pinpointing where to remediate exposures with a fraction of the effort. XM Cyber was founded by top executives from the Israeli cyber intelligence community and has offices in North America, Europe, and Israel.
