Security, Checklists, Recommendations - Part 1

Dear Readers,

My name is Franz Devantier, creator of this blog.  I am an Oracle Certified Professional (OCP DBA 11g) Security DBA.  I will be sharing with you the basic duties of an Oracle DBA, and also some of the undocumented, and not so well known tasks. 

Security, Checklists, Recommendations  -  Part 1

There are many tasks to be performed in order to build good security, and securing vulnerabilities.  Vulnerabilities could be exploited either accidentally or maliciously, with potentially disastrous results.

Good security requires physical access control, reliable personnel, trustworthy installation and configuration procedures, secure communications, and control of database operations.  Control of database operations will include; selecting data, viewing data, updating data records, deleting data records, and inserting data records.  Some of the above mentioned requirements for good security will involve applications, stored procedures, and human action.  The security procedures must take into account, how the application programs are developed, deployed, and maintained etc.

Practical Security considerations to be managed

·         Costs of equipment, personnel and training must be carefully controlled

·         Delays and errors, must be minimized

·         Rapid and thorough accountability, should be designed into proposed solutions

·         Scalability of the technology should be planned, so that it can grow for a projected amount of time

These are the main categories that should be considered

·         Physical Access Control Checklist

·         Personnel Checklist

·         Secure Installation and Configuration Checklist

·         Networking Security Checklist
