- Harden access: require MFA for admin accounts, rotate credentials if there’s any suspicion of exposure, and tighten firewall rules to limit access to trusted networks.
- Containment plan: if you see signs of exploitation, isolate affected components, switch to backups, and contact SAP support or your partner for remediation guidance.
