✦ Synopsis

Protecting Oracle Database 12c helps you solve the problem of maximizing the safety, resilience, and security of an Oracle database whilst preserving performance, availability, and integration. The book demonstrates through coded examples how to enable the consolidation features of Oracle Database 12c without increasing risk of either internal corruption or external vulnerability. In addition, new protections not publicly available are included in a task-based recipe format so that demonstrable risk improvements can be achieved, measured, and communicated to higher management. Most importantly, the challenge of privileged access control within a consolidation environment will be addressed, thus enabling a safe move to greater efficiency.
Demonstrates the securing of software and identity vulnerabilities.
Guides in implementing access controls over privileged accounts.
Helps you integrate with identity access management systems.
Provides a safe path to consolidation using the new, pluggable database feature set.
