Onapsis, a US-based cybersecurity and compliance solutions provider, has announced a partnership with Indian IT firm Wipro for driving digital transformation and business growth for clients.

The new partnership is expected to enable enterprises to no longer compromise on speed and security in their digital transformation journey.

According to Onapsis, enterprises starting their digital transformation journey frequently encounter a complex SAP landscape and have a limited understanding of securing the applications. This is said to result in the frequent disregard of the need for SAP security and leaving the business applications exposed and unprotected.

Onapsis and Wipro aim to support their customers by ensuring their digital transformation initiatives are progressing securely and offer them simple patch and vulnerability prioritisation once their journey is complete.

Wipro senior vice president and cybersecurity and risk services global head Tony Buffomante said: “Many organisations are so eager to start their digital transformation projects that SAP security becomes an afterthought. Yet in doing so, they are compromising the speed and efficiency of their projects.

“We’re thrilled to add Onapsis to our growing ecosystem of cybersecurity relationships and assist more companies that have put their digital transformation initiatives on pause due to a lack of SAP security.”

Through the collaboration, Onapsis will integrate its suite of business application security solutions and threat intelligence with Wipro’s professional services and global presence to help customers to understand and reduce risks to the applications that drive their business.

Headquartered in Boston, Onapsis offers security to business-critical applications.

The Onapsis Platform, powered by the Onapsis Research Labs, provides threat detection and response, vulnerability management, change assurance, and continuous compliance for business applications from suppliers like SAP, Oracle, and others.

Onapsis global strategic alliances and channels senior vice president Rocco Donnino said: “Enterprises are struggling to secure their SAP applications, often because they don’t know where or how to start.

“Wipro’s leading professional services integrated with Onapsis’ industry-first, business-critical application security solutions will enable us to extend our solutions to more customers worldwide and help them drive digital transformation at the speed of business growth.”
