Introduction

As 2023 folds into our memory and 2024 stands on the horizon, it’s a time for reflection, gratitude, and looking ahead. This year, I embarked on a personal challenge to write one blog post every month on the crucial topics of SAP security and data privacy – I can say I almost successfully achieved this goal!

Throughout this year, I was fortunate to have the unique opportunity to support strategic customer program accounts, where we tackled complex security and regulatory requirements for highly regulated clients. The level of due diligence required was immense, leading to significant learning and exploration. This journey of discovery is reflected in each of the 12 blog posts I published in 2023 on SAP security and data privacy. I sincerely believe each blog post was a step towards sharing security of SAP environment, adding to the collective knowledge of our SAP community.

As the year 2023 is coming close,  I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the APJ Cybersecurity Advisory team. Our team cohesion and collaborative working model, built upon shared learning and support, has been invaluable. Additionally, I want to thank my colleagues and SAP Community for their consistent support, engagement, and insightful feedback.

Conclusion

As we conclude 2023 and look forward to 2024 and beyond, we can expect SAP to continue innovating, integrating, and expanding Artificial Intelligence solutions across its products and services. The intersection of AI and cybersecurity is poised to remain a key focus in our discussions, reflecting the rapid evolution of the technological landscape. The convergence of AI and cybersecurity brings both opportunities and significant challenges. I am excited to further my learning and contribution to the SAP Community.

Wishing everyone in the SAP Community a prosperous, successful, and rewarding 2024.
