Protecting Data in SAP with Voltage SecureData and NextLabs

As SAP environments increasingly move to hyperscale cloud platforms, protecting sensitive data has become a critical security and compliance requirement. Regulatory pressures such as Schrems II, along with the need to mitigate insider risk and unauthorized database access, demand a security model that goes beyond traditional perimeter controls. 

NextLabs and OpenText Voltage provide encryption of data in the database, in transit and even while in use coupled with dynamic access controls. Through Voltage SecureData, data-level security controls such as field-level data masking, format-preserving encryption (FPE) and tokenization are provided for both SAP S/4 HANA and SAP ECC.  

With NextLabs’ patented Dynamic Authorization platform, organizations can leverage attribute-based policy and centralized policy management to improve their security and compliance posture for SAP 

This joint solution neutralizes the risk of data breaches by rendering sensitive data unusable to unauthorized parties. Through advanced data protection techniques like encryption, tokenization and hashing, protected data remains valuable and fully functional for authorized users, applications, and business processes, while appearing unintelligible if accessed improperly. Whether data resides in production systems, analytics environments, or test and development landscapes, it remains persistently protected, ensuring that even if exfiltrated, it cannot be exploited by attackers. 

By providing out-of-the-box integration to Voltage SecureData, NextLabs DAE for SAP protect data without the need for development and maintenance of custom code. Organizations gain scalable and future ready data protection that supports privacy, security, and regulatory compliance.
