Security

The most pressing security problems facing organizations today are:

1. protecting sensitive data against insider threats,
2. meeting regulatory compliance requirements and
3. enforcing Separation of Duties.

Enforcing effective security is only achieved by addressing all of the following components:

• Authentication
• Authorization
• Access control
• Auditing
• Encryption
• Abuse of privilege
• Data or service theft

Oracle has a number of new products that are extremely effective in addressing the above requirements, the two most notable products being Oracle's Database Vault and Audit Vault.The 'Separation of Duty' for compliance purposes between the Database Administrator and the Security Administrator is often difficult to achieve, resulting in the Database Administrator being 'All Powerful'. With Database Vault this separation can be easily achieved. MyDBA has in depth Database Vault experience and can implement and administer this on behalf of your company thereby achieving veritable compliance.

MyDBA has excellent experience in all aspects of database security and have lectured the following courses at Oracle University:

• Oracle Identity Manager.
