SecurityBridge launches AI-powered SAP code analyser

S ecurityBridge has announced the launch of its SecurityBridge Code Vulnerability Analyser( CVA), an AIpowered enhancement to its SAP security platform.

The solution is included in the SecurityBridge Platform license at no additional cost.
The tool identifies and explains vulnerabilities in custom Advanced Business Application Programming( ABAP) code.
The system introduces two key capabilities.‘ Explain ABAP Code’ simplifies understanding ABAP code, while‘ Describe Vulnerabilities’ provides detailed explanations of security risks and offers remediation strategies. The tool also identifies critical ABAP programs and function modules.
SecurityBridge states that this will provide faster, more efficient code remediation for developers, and make secure coding knowledge more accessible. The AI capabilities are integrated with SecurityBridge’ s monitoring module.
“ Enriching SAP security expertise with the power of AI is at the core of our innovation strategy,” said Holger Hügel, Product Management Director at SecurityBridge.
“ Our approach ensures that AI enhances security practices by delivering substantial improvements over traditional methods while ensuring high user adoption.”

System intrusions double in EMEA, reports Verizon

erizon Business’ s 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report( DBIR)

V reveals a sharp increase in global data breaches, with EMEA experiencing a significant surge in system intrusion breaches, nearly doubling to 53 % in one year.

The report, analysing over 22,000 security incidents( including 12,195 confirmed breaches), found third-party involvement doubling to 30 % and vulnerability exploitation rising by 34 % globally.
In EMEA, 29 % of breaches originated internally, compared to 1 % in APAC and 5 % in North America. Although the highest percentage of internal breaches was in EMEA, the number of insider incidents decreased by 41 % due to a faster increase in other breach types.
Key EMEA findings include system intrusion breaches rising to 53 %, internal breaches accounting for 29 %( 19 % unintentional, 8 % misuse), and social engineering as the second most common incident pattern, with phishing in 19 % of breaches.
Globally, exploitation of vulnerabilities increased by 34 %, with a focus on zero-day exploits. Ransomware attacks rose by 37 % and are present in 44 % of breaches.
“ The alarming rate of employee-driven breaches in EMEA underscores a critical need for businesses to strengthen their internal cybersecurity. Organisations must go beyond guarding against external threats and foster a culture of security awareness and accountability within,” said Sanjiv Gossain, Group Vice President and Head of EMEA of Verizon Business.
