Protecting Oracle Databases White Paper

Overview As Oracle professionals, it's important to see through the fear, uncertainty, and doubt; determine the actual risks; and investigate what can be done about the situation. The truth is that most Oracle databases are configured in a way that they can be broken into relatively easily.

This is not to say that Oracle cannot be properly secured - only that the information to properly lock down these databases has not been made available, and that the proper lockdown procedures have not been taken. This white paper will explore some of the key vulnerabilities to be aware of in "protecting your Oracle database".
