US-based cybersecurity company Onapsis has announced a collaboration with Indian IT firm Wipro with an aim to help customers drive digital transformation and business growth.

According to Onapsis, enterprises are usually faced with a complex SAP landscape when beginning their digital transformation journey apart from having a limited understanding of how to secure their applications. Owing to these, they usually overlook the necessity for SAP security, thereby making their business applications susceptible and undefended, which eventually hamper their digital transformation efforts.

Onapsis emphasized that prioritizing the security of the systems is getting more crucial considering that over 300 exploits out of every 1,500 attempted attacks on unsecured SAP instances end up being successful.

The company’s new partnership with Wipro is expected to help customers cross this barrier by making sure that their digital transformation projects are securely moving. Besides, the partnership will offer them easy patch and vulnerability prioritization after the completion of their digital transformation.

Rocco Donnino — Onapsis Senior Vice President of Global Strategic Alliances and Channels said: “Enterprises are struggling to secure their SAP applications, often because they don’t know where or how to start.

“Wipro’s leading professional services integrated with Onapsis’ industry-first, business-critical application security solutions will enable us to extend our solutions to more customers worldwide and help them drive digital transformation at the speed of business growth.”

Onapsis stated that its business application security solutions and threat intelligence capabilities combined with the professional services and global footprint of its Indian partner will help customers in understanding and offsetting risks to the applications that drive their business.

Through Wipro’s multinational presence, the cybersecurity company plans to continue increasing its market reach in regions around the world, especially in Europe, the US, and Asia Pacific.

Tony Buffomante — Wipro Senior Vice President, Global Head of Cybersecurity & Risk Services (CRS) said: “Many organizations are so eager to start their digital transformation projects that SAP security becomes an afterthought. Yet in doing so, they are compromising the speed and efficiency of their projects.

“We’re thrilled to add Onapsis to our growing ecosystem of cybersecurity relationships and assist more companies that have put their digital transformation initiatives on pause due to a lack of SAP security.”

Recently, Wipro launched Wipro Data Intelligence Suite, a solution for speeding up cloud modernization and data monetization.
