Network and Communication
Security
Your network infrastructure is important to the protection of your system. Your network must support the communication means necessary for your enterprise and your requirements, without allowing unauthorized access. A clearly defined network topology can remove many security risks caused by software errors (at the level of the operating system or application) or eliminate attacks on the network, such as eavesdropping. If no users are able to log onto your application server or database server at operating-system, or database level, it is impossible for intruders to abuse the machines or to access the database of files on the back-end system. If no users can connect with the server LAN (Local Area Network), they cannot exploit any known errors or security gaps in the network services on the servers.
The network topology for SAP NetWeaver Mobile is based on the topology used by the SAP NetWeaver platform. Consequently, the security guidelines and recommendations described in the security guide for SAP NetWeaver also apply to SAP NetWeaver Mobile. You can find detailed information that is particularly relevant to SAP NetWeaver Mobile in the following sections:
