Overview: Comparing User Assessments

It is important to be able to track how the potential user risks in a target database change over time so that you have the data you need to maintain the optimal security posture and to observe trends and patterns in changes that affect security. This is done by comparing User Assessments of the target database from two points in time, which shows you the security drift between two selected assessments.

There are two comparison options available in Oracle Data Safe:

  • Compare With Baseline

    Compare a saved User Assessment against a baseline User Assessment of the same target database. This requires that you set a User Assessment that reports a relatively low level of potential risk as the baseline, or starting point, and then you can compare the Latest Assessment against it.

  • Compare Assessments

    Compare a previously-saved User Assessment against the latest User Assessment of the same target database.

Note:

The comparison operations require read permission on the data-safe-work-requests resource in IAM.
