The secure Oracle database - howto

Last week I’ve held a 45 minute presentation about Oracle-made DB security solutions at a customer convention held by Xpert-One1, the company I work for (Xpert-one1).

It was a pretty neat presentation focusing on how to achieve 360 degrees of protection for your database, how most security exploits originate from within the organization (an IDC study shows as much as %80) and how while network security is well understood (firewalls, VPNs, etc) database security is almost always forsaken (not many businesses expect their DBAs to be security focused).

My presentation covers the following Oracle products and how the fit in creating a secure database:

Oracle Database Vault
Oracle Advanced Security
Oracle Transparent Table Encryption
Oracle Label Security & Oracle Virtual Private Database
Oracle Secure Backup
Oracle Grid Control

You can download my presentation here.

It’s high level, since the audience we were targeting were CTOs, IT managers, security guys and not actual DBAs.

Fell free to leave comments or contact me if you have questions or want more information.
