Database Security







Oracle Database Security - only secure if configured to be so!
An Oracle database can be secured, and actually Oracle is very secure especially compared with other databases, BUT, and this BUT is crucial, it is only secure if it is configured to be so! And unfortunately the default Oracle configuration is not secure. DSP Global has a Security practice . DSP has developed a range of techiniques that reduce Security exposure and can implement a number of preventative measures that counter any identified security weaknesses.

For example, the database listener is the front door into your database as all users connect to the database via the listener …imagine if that door could be shut, locked and the key thrown away by anyone on your network. Well by default, it can.

To protect against being vulnerable to database attacks and data leakage DSP has designed the following specialised services:
  • Database hardening
  • Database Auditing
  • Penetration testing
  • Intrusion detection
  • Database Vault implementation
  • Audit Vault implementation
  • Oracle Secure Backup implementation
  • Database encryption
The above list is not exhaustive and DSP offers a wide range of services that ensure your Oracle environment is secure.
