Anyone interested in gaining insight into the important basics of SAP technologies can benefit from this highly compact crash course on SAP security.

With a special focus on the attack potential of an ABAP-based malware. While this may appear to be somewhat destructive, it is important to understand the full attack potential against - and through - SAP technologies in order to design a solid defense.
