In this episode we will discuss why integration has become mission-critical for modern enterprises, how SAP Integration Suite helps organizations simplify complexity, and the role of AI in enabling intelligent and agentic integration.From practical benefits to common myths and advice for customers just starting their modernization journey, this conversation offers clear guidance on building a future-ready integration strategy. Whether you are starting your modernization journey or scaling AI initiatives, this episode offers practical insights on how to build a strong, future-ready integration foundation on SAP BTP.⁠⁠⁠⁠Download Episode Transcript⁠⁠⁠⁠=====Useful LinksGen AI based script optimizationAPI Anomaly Detection in SAP ISAPI Traffic PredictionGenerative AI based Integration Flow GenerationRoadMap· What's New for SAP Business Technology Platform· Register for SAP Sapphire· Upcoming Hands-on workshops registration page - Events Tab· SAP BTP Innobytes· SAP BTP Garage· SAP BTP Roadmap Explorer· Reach us at: platformtalks@sap.comSubscribe to the Unlocking SAP BTP Podcast:⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠=====About the speakers:Dr. Achim KraissSenior Vice President and Chief Product Officer for SAP Integration SuiteFollow Dr. Achim on: LinkedInDr. Markus WinterVice President & Head of Product Management for SAP Integration SuiteFollow Dr. Markus on: LinkedInHosted by Gaurav DeyBTP Foundation, SAPFollow Gaurav on: SAP Community=====More about SAP Business Technology Platform:⁠⁠⁠SAP Business Technology Platform⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SAP BTP Community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SAP BTP Product Roadmap⁠⁠Subscribe to: Monthly SAP Business Technology Platform NewsletterFollow on: X │ LinkedIn │ YouTube │FacebookFeedback or podcast ideas?

  • Managing Customer-Owned Encryption with the New Key Management Service | feat. Sascha Vierlinger

    Managing Customer-Owned Encryption with the New Key Management Service | feat. Sascha Vierlinger
    Feb 18 2026
    Niklas Siemer is joined by Sascha Vierlinger, Product Manager for SAP Key Management service, to unpack customer-owned encryption in cloud landscapes—and why more organizations want control of the “last layer” of trust: the keys.They walk through why encryption matters more in the cloud, the difference between SAP-managed vs. customer-managed keys, and what a modern Key Management Service (KMS) needs to deliver: secure key storage, lifecycle controls (enable/disable/delete), auditability, and operational safeguards like the four-eyes principle. The conversation also covers the classic “red button” scenario (cutting off access fast in an emergency), and how SAP’s new KMS is designed as a more scalable, central approach compared to the legacy SAP Data Custodian KMS.⁠Download Episode Transcript⁠In this episode, you'll learn:Why who controls the key is effectively who controls the data (especially in regulated industries).The three models for key control: Sub-managed keys, Bring Your Own Key (BYOK), and Hold Your Own Key (HYOK).What "key lifecycle" really means (rotation, disabling, deletion—and the very real risks).How SAP's new KMS supports stronger governance with audit logs and multi-party approvals.What to expect commercially (licensed product + connections) and how this fits with SAP BTP usage.=====Useful LinksKey Management Service Product DocumentationMore about GRC and cybersecuritySubscribe to the Unlocking SAP BTP Podcast:Apple PodcastsSpotifyYouTube=====About the speakers:Sascha VierlingerProduct Manager, SAP Key Management ServiceSascha is Product Manager for Key Management at SAP.
