Use Oracle software and hardware features to monitor login activity and maintain hardware inventories.
Use system logs to monitor user logins. Monitor system administrator and service accounts in particular because those accounts have access to commands that if used incorrectly could cause harm to the hardware and software or incur data loss. Carefully monitor access and commands through system logs.
Record the serial numbers of all your hardware. Use component serial numbers to track system assets. Oracle serial numbers are electronically recorded on cards, modules, and motherboards, and can be used for inventory purposes.
To detect and track components, provide a security mark on all significant computer hardware components. Use special ultraviolet pens or embossed labels.
Keep physical copies of hardware activation keys and licenses in a secure location that is easily accessible to the system administrator, especially during system emergencies. Printed documents might be your only proof of ownership.
