Since SAP ERP Central Component is based on SAP NetWeaver technology, for information about network security, see the following sections of the SAP NetWeaver security guide on the SAP Service Marketplace at service.sap.com/securityguide ® SAP NetWeaver Security Guide ® Network and Communication Security:

·        Network Services
This section contains information about services and ports that use SAP NetWeaver.

·        Using Firewall Systems for Access Control
Here you can see information about firewall settings.

·        Using Multiple Network Zones
Here you can get information about which parts of your application should be set up in which network segments.

If you provide services in the Internet, you should protect your network infrastructure with at least a firewall. You can further increase the security of your system or group of systems by placing the groups in different network segments, each of which you then protect from unauthorized access by a firewall. You should bear in mind that unauthorized access is also possible internally if a malicious user has managed to gain control of one of your systems.
