Oracle Database is renowned for its comprehensive security features, crucial for handling sensitive enterprise data.
Authentication and Authorization: Supports various authentication methods (password, external, enterprise, Kerberos) and robust role-based access control (RBAC) with fine-grained privileges.
Transparent Data Encryption (TDE): Encrypts data at rest (in data files, backups, and redo logs) transparently, without requiring application changes. It protects sensitive data from unauthorized access, even if the storage medium is compromised.
Data Masking: Irreversibly replaces sensitive data with realistic, but fictional, data, typically for non-production environments (development, testing).
Data Redaction: Dynamically masks sensitive data as it's retrieved by poland phone number list applications, based on policy. For example, partially obscuring credit card numbers for certain users.
Oracle Database Vault: Prevents privileged database users (like DBAs) from accessing sensitive application data, enforcing separation of duties. It can lock down database commands based on various factors.
Oracle Audit Vault and Database Firewall: Monitors database activity, detects suspicious behavior, and can even block unauthorized SQL statements in real-time, providing a robust security posture.
