Using SAP BTP Security Recommendations

To optimally use the SAP BTP Security Recommendations, you should first identify all components or services that require protection. These include all components or services that are currently used or have been installed or provisioned. For each of these components or services, review the security recommendations carefully. Based on your specific security requirements and their priority, decide whether to implement a recommendation.

It is crucial to track the "Last Update" and "Index" information for regular reviews of the Security Recommendations. "Index" helps you identify obsolete or new recommendations, while "Last Update" indicates if a recommendation has been modified since your last review.
