Basic Security Considerations

The following principles are fundamental to using any application securely:

  • Install the software securely. For example, use firewalls, secure protocols using TLS (SSL), and secure passwords.

  • Learn about and use the Simphony security features. Keep up to date on security information.

  • Keep the software up to date by installing the latest product releases and patches as soon as possible. See the Critical Patch Updates and Security Alerts website, located at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/alerts-086861.html to access this information.

  • Limit user access to necessary job functions. Review user privileges periodically to determine relevance to current work requirements.

  • Monitor system activity. Establish who should access which system components, and how often, and monitor those components.
