  • 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.
