Ability to audit security-related activity in SAP Ariba [SI-20] This feature introduces the SAP Ariba audit service, which logs selected user and administration actions performed in SAP Ariba applications. You can use the SAP Ariba audit service to monitor security-related system information such as changes to user records, application data, and application configurations. The SAP Ariba audit service also helps security personnel reproduce potential malicious activities of users and administrators, monitor administrative activities, like configuration changes, and retrieve forensic evidence if a security breach occurs.	2108
Multi-factor authentication support for Developer Portal in Ariba Network [SI-2050] Multi-factor authentication is a two-step verification process where users are required to authenticate themselves a second time using a time-based verification code. As compared to the single step authentication process, multi-factor authentication provides enhanced security. Previously, suppliers attempting to sign in to SAP Ariba Developer Portal using the AN Supplier SSO Sign-in option were re-directed to the Ariba Network supplier sign-in page for authentication. However, it was just a one-step verification process. With multi-factor authentication enabled, users are required to perform the two-step verification process to log into SAP Ariba Developer Portal.	2108
Enhance user privacy options and allow administrators to block users [SI-2425] This feature enhances user privacy options in support of the user's right to be forgotten, institutes a new Data Protection Officer (DPO) group, and provides the means for members of the DPO group to block users.	2108
Configure mutual TLS authentication certificates for inbound communications [SI-4219] This feature allows customers to configure certificates for mutual Transport Layer Security (TLS) authentication for inbound communications from external systems. Administrators in the customer organization can create new certificate configurations and also search for saved configurations on a new administrator page. In addition to the new page, the administrator page for end point configuration has been enhanced to allow administrators to configure mutual TLS authentication for end points.	2108
Multi-factor authentication for user login to SAP Ariba solutions [SI-860] Multi-factor authentication is a two-step verification process where users are required to authenticate themselves a second time using a time-based verification code. As compared to the single step authentication process, the multi-factor authentication process provides enhanced security.	2102
Multi-factor authentication for user login to Ariba Network [SI-1110] Multi-factor authentication is a two-step verification process where users are required to authenticate themselves a second time using a time-based verification code. As compared to the single step authentication process, the multi-factor authentication process provides enhanced security. Previously, if multi-factor authentication was enabled for critical fields, users were required to perform the two-step verification process only while attempting to update the values of critical fields such as email addresses, phone numbers, remittance information and so on. With multi-factor authentication enabled for login, users are required to perform the two-step verification process to log into Ariba Network.	2102
