These can be managed through Enterprise Manager on a local basis or on a global
basis by leveraging Oracle??™s enterprise user security, a feature in the Advanced Security
Option. We describe Oracle??™s database security features in Chapter 6.
Database security features allow you to implement a Virtual Private Database (VPD)
using Oracle by creating and attaching policies to database tables, views, or synonyms.
These policies are then enforced by placing a predicate WHERE clause on
SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, and/or INDEX statements.
Many organizations face the need to meet more stringent compliance requirements
for improved data protection, although database usage now can extend beyond organizational
boundaries. Oracle has added several options to the database to enable
secure deployment in such challenging environments. These options include the
Advanced Security Option, Label Security Option, Database Vault, and Audit Vault.
