Oracle Advanced Security |
Oracle Advanced Security, a commonly used option with Oracle Database Enterprise Edition, provides two important preventive controls to protect sensitive data at the source including database encryption (Transparent Data Encryption (TDE)) and on-the-fly redaction of display data. TDE stops would-be attackers from bypassing the database and reading sensitive information directly from storage by enforcing data-at-rest encryption in the database layer. Data Redaction complements TDE by reducing the risk of unauthorized data exposure in applications, redacting sensitive data before it leaves the database. Together these two controls form the foundation of Oracle’s defense-in-depth, multi-layered database security solution.
