The Oracle Database Vault security controls protect application data from unauthorized access and comply with privacy and regulatory requirements. We can deploy controls to block privileged account access to application data and control sensitive operations inside the database using trusted path authorization. Through the analysis of privileges and roles, you can increase the security of existing applications by using least privilege best practices. Oracle Database Vault secures existing database environments transparently, eliminating costly and time-consuming application changes.
How Oracle Database Vault Protects Privileged User Accounts
Many security breaches, both external and internal, target privileged users database accounts to steal data from databases. Oracle Database Vault protects against compromised privileged user account attacks by using realms, factors, and command rules. Combined, these provide powerful security tools to help secure access to databases, applications, and sensitive information. You can combine rules and factors to control the conditions under which commands in the database are allowed to execute, and to control access to data protected by a realm.
Oracle Database Vault provides built-in factors that you can use in combination with rules to control access to the database, realm-protected applications, and commands within the database.
You can associate rules and factors with many SQL statements in the database to provide stronger internal controls within the database. You can customize these to meet the operational policies for your site. For example, you could define a rule to limit execution of the ALTER SYSTEM statement to a specific IP address and hostname.
How Oracle Database Vault Allows for Flexible Security Policies
Oracle Database Vault helps you design flexible security policies for your database.
- By time (for example, only during 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. on Friday afternoons)
- By local access only, that is, not remotely
- By IP address (for example, allowing the action to only a specified range of IP addresses)
We can customize Oracle Database Vault separation of duties to fit the requirements of business of any size. For example, large customers with dedicated IT staff and some outsourced back end operations can further fine-tune separation of duties to control what outsourced database administrators can do. For smaller organizations with some users handling multiple responsibilities, separation of duties can be tuned down, and these users can create separate dedicated accounts for each responsibility. This helps such users keep track of all actions made and prevents intruders from exploiting compromised privileged database accounts to steal sensitive data. In addition, it allows auditors to verify compliance.
