Security and Connectivity

After reading the previous chapters, SAP BTP should no longer be a stranger to you. Now, it is time to delve into the design aspects, and we will start with the one that is crucial to every organization: security.

After discussing security, we will touch upon the subject of connectivity, which is inherently related to security. Connectivity is all about paving the connection routes among several systems. And keeping these routes safe is of paramount importance.

In this chapter, we’re going to cover the following main topics:

  • Security in general
  • Identity and access management (IAM) in SAP BTP
  • Connectivity

After completing this chapter, you will be able to incorporate security aspects into your architecture design and include connectivity across several systems.
