This protection is the subject of this chapter. Here we
focus on three different aspects of the overall task of protecting your data:
??? Security covers the tools that youu se to allow access only to those people you
designate.
??? Auditing allows you to discover who did what with your data. Auditing is the
process of creating a history of access that can be used to understand database
operations as well as spot access violations and attempts. When youare configuring
Oracle Database 11g, youwill be asked if youwant to keep the default
security settings. If you do, auditing will be enabled and a new default password
profile option will be in place. A number of other database initialization parameters
will be reset at this time.
??? Compliance is the ability to prove that your data is secure and reliable??”a proof
that is now legally required in many cases. Although compliance may strike
many technical folks as overkill, the simple fact is that a lack of compliance
alone may result in significant penalties to your company.
