Hello Beginner Corner,
I have joined SAP with the goal of becoming an SAP Cybersecurity and GRC Consultant.
Over the last few days I have looked through the many resources SAP has made available here through documentation and community resources, of which I am entirely appreciative.
For others with the same interest, I recommend:
- GRC Tuesdays from @T_Frenehard
(https://community.sap.com/t5/tag/GRCTuesdays/tg-p/board-id/financial-management-blog-sap) - This FAQ from @Jana_Cyber
(https://community.sap.com/t5/enterprise-resource-planning-blogs-by-sap/sap-s-4hana-cloud-public-edition-cybersecurity-faqs-unravelled/ba-p/13556179) - And this Podcast interview from @David_Chaviano
(https://community.sap.com/t5/beginner-corner-blog-posts/cybersecurity-at-sap-a-beginner-s-view-on-the-job/ba-p/305344).
After going through the June 2024 Certification Recommendations (https://www.sap.com/documents/2024/02/dce560c9-ad7e-0010-bca6-c68f7e60039b.html), I learned that the “SAP Certified Application Associate – SAP Access Control 12.0” cert has been retired with no replacement, but with Records of Achievement, and that a soon to be coming Security Administrator certification is in the works though I have not able to find an expected release.
At this stage, I would like to gain some insight from those in the community with the career experience I lack. I am eager to get started on the certification opportunity I have been granted, but am unable to isolate a particular one based on the resources I have listed.
Would simply proceeding with the path listed in the Digital Skills Initiative Guide post (https://groups.community.sap.com/t5/beginner-corner-blog-posts/how-and-where-do-you-start-a-consulting-career-in-sap/ba-p/221488) and combining with more relevant Records of Achievement be the best course, or would your experience suggest a more fitting starting point for one already in a technical background with cybersecurity training?
Thank you for your time,
Cephus
