Security Guide: Web Dynpro for ABAPLocate this document in the navigation structure

With the increasing use of distributed systems and the internet for managing business data, the demands on security are also on the rise. When using a distributed system, you need to be sure that your data and processes support your business needs without allowing unauthorized access to critical information. User errors, negligence, or attempted manipulation of your system should not result in loss of information or processing time. These demands on security apply likewise to the Web Dynpro for ABAP.
