New Partnership: Virtual Forge and akquinet provide joint offering for secure SAP Applications

Through the new partnership of Virtual Forge and akquinet AG the customers will benefit from a complete security chain for SAP-Systems.

Both companies bundle their products CodeProfiler (Virtual Forge) and SAST (akquinet). That way technical security, application security as well as risk management of SAP-Systems is covered completely. Whereas CodeProfiler automatically finds backdoors, missing authority checks and manipulation of databases in the ABAP code, SAST tests the technical configuration and customized authorizations for security risks. Together with our profound consulting, security leaks are detected quickly. This way, customers and employees can be extensively trained and coached in the mitigation of these risk factors.

Ralf Kempf, CEO of akquinet Enterprise Solutions GmbH, appreciates the partnership. He says: “One of the most common security problems in our projects are ABAP programs without authority checks. With the combination of SAST and CodeProfiler such problems can be effectively detected, solutions can be properly planned. This generates a true additional value for our customers, because the combination of our solutions improves the security at all levels.”

Markus Schumacher, CEO of Virtual Forge, is glad “that both companies will soon show the bundled portfolio together at DSAG Annual Congress in Leipzig, SAP Teched in Berlin and Systems in Munich. We can begin with a testing engagement immediately.”
