Does the implementation of SNC - secure network communication slow down traffic and transmission?

Do you recommend the solution from a security perspective?

What other products should it be implemented with?

Thanks,

Hi

Please could you give us more details about your system? Which release are you using?

Which kind of SNC are using and where?

Meanwhile I recommend you take a look in note:

Thanks and best regards,

Hi,

SNC is a software layer which provides to external security products. You can use it to enhance security of your systems. Common use case is to protect connection between GUI and application server. Another common use case is to protect RFC calls between systems. Check [SAP documentation|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/0a/0a2e24ef6211d3a6510000e835363f/frameset.htm] for more info. Obviously, if you do something extra then it will have negative impact on performance. Encryption will mainly burden CPU.

Everything depends on your requirements.You need to identify all places where you can use it and analyze if it is worth it. Basically, I am talking about risk assessment.

Cheers
