Detect Threats Early

Security alerts can be issued to rapidly address compliance, privacy and insider threat issues across the enterprise. Oracle Audit Vault continuously monitors inbound audit data, generating alerts based on IT policies, providing a proactive early warning for potential problems.

Oracle Audit Vault pulls data from Oracle audit logs in the database, including the fine grained audit logs, and the database operatings system audit logs. An alert is raised when audit data matches a predefined alert rule condition. For example, alerts could be raised when a new user has been created in the database, the DBA role is granted or a non-application user (DBA) views sensitive application data.

A summary of all alerts can be viewed from the Audit Vault console. Graphical pie and bar charts provide quick summaries of the current alert status. For reporting purposes, alerts are grouped by source, event category and severity level (warning, critical, or informational).
