Oracle Database Security Project
Exploring key security features and
best practices Introduction to Oracle Database Security
• Oracle Database Security includes features
and tools to secure access, manage data protection, and maintain audit trails. Key concepts include authentication, encryption, auditing, access control, and more. Oracle Authentication Methods • Oracle provides several authentication methods: • - Password Authentication • - LDAP Authentication • - Kerberos Authentication • - Multi-Factor Authentication Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) • TDE is used to protect data at rest by encrypting database files. • It helps prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data even if physical media is compromised. Virtual Private Database (VPD) • VPD allows row-level security by creating policies that restrict access to specific rows based on user roles. • This ensures that users can only view data they are authorized to access. Auditing and Monitoring • Auditing tracks database activity, helping to detect unauthorized actions. • Oracle provides fine-grained auditing (FGA) and Oracle Audit Vault for comprehensive monitoring. SQL Injection Prevention • Oracle helps prevent SQL injection through the use of parameterized queries, input validation, and PL/SQL procedures. • By using these techniques, you can ensure that your database is protected against SQL injection attacks. Backup and Disaster Recovery • Oracle offers tools like RMAN for secure backup and recovery. • Encrypted backups and automated restore mechanisms help secure data during disaster recovery. Conclusion and Best Practices • Oracle Database Security ensures your data is protected from unauthorized access and potential attacks. • By implementing TDE, VPD, auditing, and other security measures, you can maintain a secure database environment.
