Complete database security in 4 simple steps
summary
Four concrete steps: 1) assess configuration with DBSAT (download via note 2138254.1) or Data Safe—example finding: 10 users lack a password complexity function; 2) encrypt network traffic with TLS or Oracle Native Network Encryption and at-rest data with Transparent Data Encryption; 3) enforce least privilege and block privileged access using Database Vault realms (example: protect employee_search_prod so SYS and DBAs cannot see its rows); 4) enable unified auditing (enabled three policies, created user Bob, saw four audit records). Claim: all done in under 30 minutes.
