How SAP adresses Cross Site Scripting

The Internet Crime Complaint Center has found that computer crimes caused a loss of almost 200 million US$ in 2006. Responsible vendors like SAP offer powerful technologies such as WebDynpro to protect your customized SAP installation against possible attacks. However, the key to success is that you as a SAP customer have to use SAP's security solutions and use them correctly. If you fail here, this might expose sensitive data of your SAP system to criminals that could severely harm your business.
