IOUG - Real-life Database Security Mistakes

IOUG COLLABORATE 08 Presentation - You did everything by the book, followed the database security checklists, and implemented security best practices, but one day you find significant security issues in one of your databases. How did this happen? After auditing hundreds of databases, I have compiled a list of common database security mistakes and potentials causes of each mistake. Learn from other's mistakes and what you can do to prevent these mistakes from happening on your watch. Common database security mistakes can impact every aspect of the Oracle Database and include reappearing default passwords, misapplied Critical Patch Update security patches, and wayward privileges and grants. Time is the chief enemy of database security as many security mistakes are innocently introduced over time, so security needs to be a process rather than a one-time task.
