Thomas Neudenberger is a distinguished leader in the IT security sector, serving as the Chief Operating Officer of realtime North America Inc. since 2002. With over two decades of experience in the SAP ecosystem, he is widely recognized as an international authority on Zero Trust architecture, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and biometric security solutions.
Professional Journey & Expertise Thomas began his specialized journey in SAP security in 2002 when he founded the North American arm of realtime, a European software consulting firm. Under his leadership, the company pioneered bioLock, the first biometric security solution specifically certified for SAP technology. He has been instrumental in evolving this technology from a novel concept into a global standard for preventing fraud and unauthorized access within sensitive SAP environments.
His expertise encompasses:
• Zero Trust Advocacy: A long-time proponent of “enforceable security,” Thomas has championed the concept of Zero Trust for over 20 years, ensuring that SAP users are rejected by default unless specifically verified.
• Strategic Alliances: He has successfully forged and managed high-level strategic partnerships with global technology leaders, including SAP and Fujitsu.
• Global Thought Leadership: As a frequent speaker at major industry events such as ASUG, SAPPHIRE, and various global security summits, Thomas provides insights into fraud prevention and the integration of advanced biometrics like palm vein technology and “biometrics for gloves” (NYMI Band) for the pharmaceutical industry.
Achievements & Contributions Throughout his career, Thomas has achieved several significant milestones:
• Public Sector Success: In 2003, he helped secure NASA/Brevard County as the first U.S. customer for bioLock, a project that won awards for its innovative protection of HR data.
• Published Author: He has authored numerous professional articles, including the notable work “Beyond Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance” (Elsevier Publishing, 2005), which examines legislative mandates and security requirements.
• Industry Impact: His work spans a diverse range of industries, including banking, aerospace, defense, life sciences, and manufacturing, helping organizations globally reinforce their GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) frameworks.
Thomas continues to lead international sales and marketing efforts for realtime North America, dedicated to educating the SAP community on the critical importance of granular function controls and modern cybersecurity countermeasures.
Session Overview
Hard Hats & High Tech: Modernizing Assets with SAP and Biometrics
In the world of heavy industry, mining, and manufacturing, the “digital divide” is most felt on the shop floor and in the warehouse. While the boardroom enjoys real-time analytics, field technicians and procurement officers often struggle with paper-based work orders and high-risk manual processes. LinxAS, and BioLock will provide a deep dive into the modernization of the asset lifecycle. This session demonstrates how to bridge the gap between the field and the finance office by deploying Ruggedized SAP Kiosks that allow unconnected workers to execute work orders and request spare parts instantly. We will further explore how to eliminate procurement fraud and “ghost” maintenance entries by embedding Biometric MFA (BioLock) directly into SAP EAM and MM modules. Discover how to gain 100% visibility into your supply chain and asset health while ensuring that every transaction—from a high-value purchase order to a critical safety inspection—is authenticated by the right person at the right time.
Automating the Edge with SAP AI and Biometric Security
Moving beyond the “what” of Artificial Intelligence, this technical deep dive explores the “how” of deploying an autonomous enterprise tomorrow morning. This will be a live whiteboarding and “Use-Case Solv-a-thon”. We will tackle the technical bottlenecks of the digital divide, demonstrating how to build a “Data Clean Room” to fuel SAP’s AI engines. This interactive session features a live video forum—powered by SAP AI video tools—to showcase real-time integration between ruggedized kiosks and the SAP environment. We will explore predictive intelligence for anticipating system failures and the critical role of biometric MFA in ensuring that automated AI processes never bypass human authorization protocols. Attendees will participate via live polling to choose which technical deep-dives we explore, from predictive maintenance to secure procurement automation.
