You can now register an Amazon RDS for Oracle database as an Oracle Data Safe target database. You can choose either the Oracle Data Safe on-premises connector or Oracle Data Safe private endpoint connectivity option. For more information, see Register Amazon RDS for Oracle in the Administering Oracle Data Safe guide.

Oracle Data Safe now provides you with the option to stop schedules for the latest user and security assessments. This can be useful if you're performing planned maintenance on a target database and don't want to receive user or security assessments for that time. Stopped schedules can easily be restarted. For more information, see Stop a User Assessment Schedule or Stop a Security Assessment Schedule in the Using Oracle Data Safe guide.

Installation of an on-premises connector can now be done on a host machine that runs on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8. For more information, see On-Premises Connector Software Requirements in the Administering Oracle Data Safe guide.

If you navigate to a region where you do not have any target databases registered a guided tour of Oracle Data Safe will automatically start. The tour provides a high-level overview of the features of Oracle Data Safe and how to start using them to improve the security of your databases. For more information, see Oracle Data Safe Guided Tour in the Using Oracle Data Safe guide.

When registering an Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer target database you can now enter a custom database port number if desired. For more information, see Register an Oracle Cloud@Customer Database in the Administering Oracle Data Safe guide.

Oracle Data Safe now allows you to compare a masking policy to the associated sensitive data model. The comparison identifies any differences between the sensitive data models and masking policy and allows you to select changes that will synchronize with the masking policy. This allows users to update an existing masking policy when new sensitive columns are discovered using incremental discovery. For more information, see Compare a Masking Policy to a Sensitive Data Model in the Using Oracle Data Safe guide.

New filters in sensitive data models and masking policies make it easier to explore the contents of sensitive data models and masking policies. For more information, see View Details for a Sensitive Data Model or View Details for a Masking Policy in the Using Oracle Data Safe guide.

Oracle Data Safe now uses the user profiles that are already defined on the target database to provide you with User Profile insights. With User Profiles, you gain a comprehensive understanding of the password-related attributes associated with your Oracle Database user profiles, helping you to strengthen the system's overall security. For more information, see About User Profiles in the Using Oracle Data Safe guide.

Authorizations to perform data masking have been tightened to help ensure the security of your data. In order to perform data masking a user now requires manage permissions on the data-safe-masking-reports resource in the compartment of the target database. For more information, see Prerequisites for Using Data Masking in the Using Oracle Data Safe guide.

The ability to override global paid usage and data retention settings on each target database has been improved. For more information, see Override Global Retention Periods for a Target Database or Override Global Paid Usage for a Target Database in the Using Oracle Data Safe guide.

Oracle Data Safe is now automatically enabled in all regions when you register a target database in a region for the first time and does not require an administrator to enable on a per-region basis.

With Oracle Data Safe, you can now provide the tablespace that should be used for masking, choose the level of parallel execution, if redo logs should be disabled during masking, how invalid objects will be recompiled after masking and more. These masking options can be defined when creating a masking policy or for a specific masking run. For more information on defining the masking options when creating the masking policy, see Create Masking Policies or for more information on setting and changing the masking options for a masking run, see Mask Sensitive Data on a Target Database in the Using Oracle Data Safe guide.
