1 Overview of Oracle Database Vault
Oracle Database Vault offers data security controls within an Oracle database to restrict access to application data by privileged users.
Database Vault can help you reduce the risk of insider and outside threats, address compliance requirements, including separation of duties, as well as minimize the potential of human error on application data and objects. Database Vault is built into the kernel of the Oracle database, thus ensuring you are implementing your security controls as close to the data as possible.
In this quick start guide, you will learn how to configure and enable Oracle
Database Vault, how to use Database Vault realms and command rules to
protect data in the sample schema HR
, and how to prevent
the use of destructive commands, such as DROP TABLE
on
HR
objects. This guide will also show you how to
configure Unified Audit policies to audit violations of your realms and
command rules.
Oracle Database Vault can do much more than the examples this quick guide describes. For more information of Oracle Database Vault, refer to the Oracle AI Database Vault Administrator’s Guide.
