Every SAP system produces a flood of audit logs—thousands, sometimes millions of entries per day. From transaction usage to user logins, role changes, and RFC calls, the volume is staggering. The intention is good: to ensure accountability and traceability. But in reality, it’s a data overload that few teams can effectively manage.
Sound familiar? If your team is stuck combing through SM20, STAD, or system logs manually, it’s time for an upgrade.
Problem: SAP Audit Logs Are Too Complex to Monitor Manually
SAP audit logs are rich—but only if you can actually use them. Most security teams face the following challenges:
High Volume: Even medium-sized SAP environments generate thousands of logs daily.
Poor Structure: Logs are cryptic and require SAP-specific expertise to interpret.
No Context or Correlation: Logs are isolated events. There's no built-in logic to tell you what's suspicious and what’s not.
Time-Consuming Investigations: Analysts waste hours digging into logs, often missing the big picture.
Alert Fatigue: Without intelligent filtering, you're left with a firehose of events and no prioritization.
Solution: Let AI Monitor SAP Logs for You with ThreatSenseAI
ThreatSenseAI is designed to take the grunt work out of SAP log analysis. It doesn't just collect logs—it analyzes, correlates, and prioritizes them using advanced AI and machine learning.
1. Unified Log Ingestion
ThreatSenseAI collects logs from multiple SAP sources in real-time, including:
SM20 (Security Audit Logs)
STAD (Workload Statistics)
SM19, SUIM, ST03, and more
Custom and Z-table activity It also integrates with OS-level and database logs to give you end-to-end visibility.
2. Intelligent Correlation Engine
Instead of looking at one event at a time, ThreatSenseAI connects the dots:
Role change + sensitive transaction execution = high risk
Multiple failed logins + locked account = brute force attempt
Download + off-business hours + high-volume = potential data exfiltration
3. AI/ML Anomaly Detection
ThreatSenseAI builds behavioral baselines for users and systems, then uses machine learning to detect deviations and threats—even those not defined by static rules.
4. Visual Dashboards & Searchable Logs
Logs are turned into actionable insights with visual dashboards, filters, and heatmaps. You can search by user, table, transaction, IP, or behavior pattern.
5. Prioritized Alerts and Recommendations
Instead of 10,000 raw logs, you get:
Top 5 high-risk activities
Recommended actions
Forensic context (who, what, when, where, how)
Real-Life Example
Scenario: Over a weekend, a user accesses multiple financial transactions and extracts reports.
Without ThreatSenseAI: Buried in the STAD logs—discovered weeks later during an audit.
With ThreatSenseAI:
System detects off-hours access + new transaction pattern.
Behaviour flagged as abnormal compared to historical baseline.
Alert generated instantly with context and suggested response.
Optional automation: account locked, manager notified, forensic report saved.
How it helps?
Conclusion
If SAP audit logs are overwhelming your security team, you're not alone. The solution isn’t more manpower—it’s smarter tools. ThreatSenseAI uses AI to turn SAP logs into real-time, actionable intelligence—freeing your team to focus on what really matters: protecting the business.
Stop drowning in logs. Let AI do the heavy lifting.
