Security Drivers (and constraints):
• Enterprise value resides in Bits (I.P.) not Atoms
(factories). Google Vs. Ford.
• Data everywhere, must be accurate, fast and
available.
• Security must be Transparent to the end user.
• Security decisions increasingly tied to compliance
(regulatory or in-house).
Security Drivers (and constraints):
• Network security is well known and understood (VPN,
Firewall).
• Attackers now going where data resides.
• Legitimate and authenticated users are a concern.

“A 2007 Oracle survey found that a DBA usually spend
less than 7% of total work time on database security.”
Database Security is NOT a one time project.
Database Security is a on-going process.
Add a security-focused DBA to
the security department.
The secure database solutions:
• Oracle Database Vault.
• Oracle Advanced Security.
• Oracle Audit Vault
• Virtual Private Database.
• Fine-Grained Auditing.
• Secure Backup.

Flowing & Resting data:
• Worry about Encryption “in the land”.
• Data at rest is a critical security concern (encrypt the
heart of your data).
Network Security Threats:
Data Theft

Oracle Advanced Security:
Oracle Advanced Security is a security option for the
Oracle Database.
Oracle Advanced Security combines
network encryption,
database encryption
and strong authentication
together to help customers address privacy and
compliance requirements.
Oracle Advanced Security:
• Transparent Data Encryption: the datafile is safe!
• Network protocol traffic encryption & integrity.
• Strong Authentication (Kerberos, RADIUS, SSL, PKI).
• Encryption standards:
• RC4, DES, 3DES, AES.
• MD5 + SH1 data integrity.

Oracle Database Vault
Database Vault:
Authoritative security studies have documented that
more than 80% of information system data losses and
attacks have been perpetrated by 'insiders' — those
authorized with some level of access to the system and
its data.
• 80% of threats come from insiders.
• 65% of internal threats are undetected.
Database Vault:
Oracle Database Vault addresses common regulatory
compliance requirements and reduces the risk of
insider threats.
Database Vault:
• Preventing highly privileged users (DBA) from
accessing application data.
• Enforcing separation of duty (DBA can’t create users,
view data).
• Providing controls over who, when, where and how
applications, data and databases can be accessed.
• Can be added to existing application environments
without changes to the existing application code.

Oracle Virtual Private Database
Virtual Private Database:
Also known as Fine Grained Access Control, provides
powerful row-level security capabilities
For example, VPD can be used restrict access to data
during business hours.
Virtual Private Database:
Transparently modifying requests for data to present a
partial view of the tables to the users based on a set of
defined criteria.
select * from accounts;
changes to:
select * from accounts where am_name = BOAZ';
Virtual Private Database:
Oracle Label Security – optional add-on for providing
easy to use interface for row-level security. No coding
needed.
