Public Administrations and Secure SAP Operations

Given the growing demands of digitalization, cloud solutions have become unavoidable in public administration. Traditional data centers are increasingly reaching their limits, particularly in terms of scalability and efficiency. However, the cloud transformation brings with it challenges such as data security and data sovereignty. To overcome these challenges, public institutions must ensure that cloud systems meet the highest standards of data sovereignty and data protection.

The growing shortage of specialists and increasingly complex SAP infrastructures are putting public administration IT departments under mounting pressure. The lack of personnel and rising demands on security and efficiency are delaying digitalization. This is precisely where the SAP platform from T-Systems, certified by the German Federal Office for Security and Information Technology (BSI), comes into play, offering a comprehensive and secure solution for operating SAP systems in public administration. Thanks to its flexibility and scalability, administrations can easily adapt their IT systems to new requirements and thus make optimal use of resources.

In view of increasing instances of cybercrime and growing digital dependency, the secure operation of SAP systems in public administration is essential. With over 130,000 cyber attacks³ recorded by the Federal Criminal Police Office in 2022 alone, it is clear how vulnerable critical infrastructures are. These threats jeopardize not only financial resources, but also central public services. It is therefore crucial to operate SAP systems in compliance with the highest security standards for protecting sensitive data and ensuring the smooth functioning of public administration.
