Why Oracle Database Security?
Oracle Databases hold the majority of the world’s relational data, and are attractive targets for attackers seeking high-value targets for data theft. Compromise of a single Oracle Database can result in tens of millions of breached records costing millions in breach-mitigation activity. Safeguard your most valuable data with Oracle’s powerful preventive and detective security controls, including transparent data encryption, encryption key management, privileged user and multifactor access control, data classification and discovery, database activity monitoring and blocking, consolidated auditing and reporting, and data masking. With Oracle, you can deploy reliable data-security solutions that require no changes to existing applications, saving time and money.

Security Assessment
Oracle offers database security assessments to help you discover the sensitive and personal data in your database, assess how securely your database is configured, and to provide recommendations on improving your database security posture.
-
Auditing and Monitoring
With a centralized information and audit management repository, owners have an easy way to collect, analyze, and report on database activities, such as which users are showing risky behavior, where your new sensitive data located, and password status.
-
Data Protection
With data encryption and redaction, Oracle protects the data at rest and in use, respectively. Capabilities such as key storage and management address both regulatory needs and management challenges posed by managing multiple keys/wallets. In addition, with data masking, Oracle minimizes security risk by exchanging sensitive data for realistic-looking artificial data for use in development, test, and partner environments.
-
Data Access Control
Data access control will mitigate two of the most common database attacks: stolen application service accounts and compromised/rogue administrator accounts. With Oracle Database security, you can count on strong separation of duties that delineate database administration from data administration and multifactor authentication that enforces granular access control policies based upon each user’s individual security privileges.
