even Toxic Data and other sensitive
data beyond SAP’s boundaries.
HALOCORE intercepts the data
being downloaded from SAP
and applies fully customizable
classification labels to the document
metadata.
Additionally, HALOCORE is tightly
integrated with Microsoft Azure
Information Protection (AIP) and
fully supports the implementation
of Active Directory, Office 365,
and Azure Active Directory. Using
Microsoft AIP every document
exported from SAP is automatically
and efficiently encrypted at the
server level before it arrives on
any device. Using the automated
HALOCORE classification engine,
granular authorizations and user
rights are assigned to sensitive data,
allowing easy and secure exchange
of documents between employees,
partners or suppliers.
Message from the
Chairman
Data is the ‘new gold’. This adage
may be clichéd, but with concepts
such as the Internet of Things, Big
Data, Machine Learning, Artificial
Intelligence and so on, being
increasingly leveraged by industries
worldwide, it couldn’t be truer!
However, this also means that data,
such as IP, is the most precious
commodity for any business and
one that must be protected against
all threats – internal and external.
In these days of heightened security
challenges coming across in all
forms, technology, and human,
one cannot be too sure against
the array of challenges. But, as
our research and experience prove,
the greatest is the human factor
especially caused by the one
weak link in the security chain
(malicious or otherwise).
As an SAP user, you would be aware
that your data resides in the heart
of your business operations – your
SAP ERP system. But most SAP users
are unaware of a hidden danger –
data leak due to uncontrolled user
downloads and data flows in the
background. Thus, there is a real need
for solutions that monitor and block
such leaks from SAP applications.
I assure you that when it comes to
your precious data in SAP, you have
come to the right place. With over
twenty years of core SAP experience,
we understand the nuances of this
enterprise platform as no other. In
fact, SECUDE’s origins are from SAP
itself and have ever since maintained
close technology partnership.
Today, our solutions are trusted by
many Fortune 500 and DAX listed
companies.
