SAP Mobile Platform Security Overview

SAP Mobile Platform provides a multilayer approach to corporate security designed for mobility.

This approach ensures that:

Internal and external device users can securely connect to back-end systems.
Every network link that transfers corporate information and every location that stores enterprise data guarantees confidentiality.

Component Security
SAP Mobile Platform consists of multiple components that are installed on internal networks, primarily on the corporate LAN and the demilitarized zone (DMZ). Each component requires specific administration tasks to secure it.
Communication Security
Secure SAP Mobile Platform component communications to prevent packet sniffing or data tampering. Different combinations of components communicate with different protocols and different ports.
Authentication
SAP Mobile Platform uses standard HTTPS protocol to integrate into the existing security landscape without disruption.
Back-End Security
SAP Mobile Platform secures interactions between SAP Mobile Platform Server and back-end systems. This security component includes device application back-end connections and notification communication.
Common Security Infrastructure in SAP Mobile Platform
The SAP Mobile Platform Common Security Infrastructure (CSI) provides an extensible model for integrating with existing security infrastructure.
