Break Glass for Oracle Applications

Break Glass for Oracle Applications provides you with additional security by restricting administrative access to systems and services. When you use Break Glass, Oracle Support representatives can access your cloud environment only after relevant approvals and authorization to troubleshoot any issues that may arise in your cloud environment.

In addition to such controlled access, data at rest is secured using Oracle’s Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) and Database Vault. You can control the TDE master encryption key and manage its lifecycle.

Key features:

  • Your data in the Oracle Cloud environment is encrypted at rest using TDE, and it is protected and audited using Data Vault.
  • Break Glass access is time bound; it secures your data by providing only temporary access to Oracle support personnel.
  • Break Glass provides access windows that you can configure; access credentials are programmatically reset after each access.
  • Break Glass access is audited, logged, and detailed reports are available.
  • You can upload, remove, or restore your TDE master encryption key from the Oracle Cloud Console.
