Emergency Access Management in SAP

The purpose of Emergency Access Management is to enable users to perform tasks outside of their normal day-to-day responsibilities in a secure and controlled manner. Elevated access such as debugging, reconfiguring the application, changing critical system parameters, have huge security and operational implications. Only trusted users should be allowed to perform such activities and these activities should also be recorded and reviewed from an audit point of view. However, it seems that every organization struggles with this topic and finds it difficult to get it right. 

Because it is a difficult but interesting security topic, and because of the increased focus of auditors on Emergency Access Management, SAP and Accenture conducted a joint survey of hundreds of customers to understand their current situation, views and requirements when managing emergency access.

During this webinar, SAP and Accenture will explore customer views, discuss the survey results, introduce good practices and future Emergency Access Management functionalities. Tthe following agenda for the webinar is proposed: 

1. Introduction 
2. What is a Firefighter 
3. Good Practices 
4. Customer Survey Results 
5. New Firefighter Features
