SenSage, Inc. announced today that it has expanded its cooperation
with SAP AG, spanning technology integration and compatibility
certification. SenSage Continuous Monitoring & Auditing for ERP
provides enhanced visibility into SAP transactions and audit logs –
filtered by pre-built analytics and mined by ad-hoc queries – all
within the context of the underlying IT infrastructure that is
monitored in real time. SenSage is actively demonstrating the offering
and sharing customer success stories at various SAP end-user and
channel events, including SAP TechEd 2009 and this week’s GRC 2009
conference in Prague. Together, SAP and SenSage safeguard critical
enterprise assets and processes by allowing organizations to detect and
respond to security and IT risks aligned to an enterprise risk
management program.
"We are excited to extend our
partnership with SAP to address data management challenges in
continuous controls monitoring and SAP user activity monitoring," said
Jim Pflaging, president and CEO of SenSage. "Together we are helping
management, internal audit, security and compliance professionals to
detect and monitor fraudulent behavior such as failed or fraudulent
transactions, failing controls, segregation of duty (SoD) violations or
overrides, user profile and privilege changes, unauthorized access to
transactions, users with temporary or expired privileges, and
unauthorized changes to master data through exception-based alerts and
reporting."
The SAP Integration and Certification
Center (SAP ICC) has certified that SenSage Continuous Monitoring &
Auditing 3.0 has achieved "Powered by SAP NetWeaver" status as an
ABAP™ add-on for the SAP ERP 6.0 application. This deployment has been
tested and certified by the SAP ICC. The solution monitors the security
events for key data changes to financial, materials management, sales
and distribution, and user access information.
SenSage
Continuous Monitoring & Auditing for ERP is also integrated with
SAP BusinessObjects™ governance, risk and compliance (GRC) solutions to

allows SenSage to include controls set by SAP BusinessObjects GRC
solutions in the context of SenSage monitoring functions and to forward
critical incidents to SAP BusinessObjects GRC solutions for risk
management triage and remediation.
