Introduction

Oracle Database Security Central (sometimes called DBSecCentral or Security Central) is a centralized platform for assessing and managing database security, risk, and compliance across distributed database environments. It provides unified visibility into users, sensitive data, configuration posture, policies, and database activity, helping teams identify and prioritize risks.

It also centralizes policies for auditing, Database Vault, Database Firewall, and SQL Firewall. Its SQL-aware firewall helps prevent SQL injection, unauthorized access, and data exfiltration, while prebuilt reports support regulatory and industry compliance requirements, including CIS, STIG, GDPR, and PCI-DSS.

Security and database administrators can use Oracle Database Security Central to:

• Identify risks associated with privileged users
• Discover and classify sensitive data
• Assess configuration risks
• Review insights and perform remediation from a centralized console
• Monitor database activity and audit events
