Oracle Database Security
All DBAs put in significant effort to secure their databases and most do an excellent job. However, not everybody has the time to be a security specialist, and often it's beneficial to have a second opinion to ensure that everything has been fully taken care of.
Why does your database need to be secure? Databases frequently hold some of the most valuable assets that an organisation can keep online. This could be financial transaction information or customer lists or other items vital to an organisation's position in the financial and social community.
Enterprises that are working their data to get best
value from it cannot afford the impact if it is comprised. Often, working
your data hard requires many access paths to it, all of which need to
be properly secured. Worse, these paths may change over time and access
methods all too easily may get overlooked or go unnoticed.
Transenigma has significant expertise in securing Oracle Database environments from illicit access. You can benefit from this experience by having a Transenigma consultant perform a review of your Oracle security set-up. The review consists of performing a complete range of checks to ensure that the many different areas that are at risk are covered off by your security strategy.
A written report with any recommendations for improvements, together with a copy of the checklists is the result of the review. Transenigma's focus is to help back your DBA's so they can improve your security based on the results of our review. It is a very hand's on approach.
