Oracle Database 11g Release 1 delivers state-of-the-art capabilities to address rapidly emerging requirements in the areas of security, privacy and compliance. Reducing the risk of insider threats, complying with regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), and meeting the Payment Card Industry (PCI) requirements are top priorities for many organizations worldwide. Oracle Database Vault provides highly privileged user access controls, separation of duty, and the ability to control who, when, where and how applications, data, and databases are accessed. Oracle Advanced Security Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) makes encryption of sensitive data simple with no changes to the existing application code. Recently introduced Oracle Audit Vault turns audit data into a key security resource for the enterprise, providing consolidation, reporting, proactive alerting and protection of audit data.
