ORACLE DATA SHEET ORACLE EXADATA DATABASE MACHINE SECURITY OVERVIEW KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS Encrypt sensitive application data with no application changes Prevent access to application data through privileged user credentials Enforce data access through the application tier Prevent unauthorized application changes The Oracle Exadata Database Machine delivers extreme performance and superior data security. As organizations consolidate their data, more and more sensitive information ranging from email addresses to credit card numbers now resides in a single database, giving organizations the ability to secure and monitor that data more efficiently than ever before. Oracle Exadata Database Machine customers can protect data at both the database and storage tiers without giving up performance. Monitor inbound traffic for SQL injection threats Cryptographic acceleration with Intel® AES-NI integration Consolidate, report and monitor database audit records Centralized management through Oracle Enterprise Manager Pre-configured templates for many applications including Oracle E-Business Suite, Oracle Peoplesoft, Oracle Siebel, SAP and more Industry standard encryption algorithms (AES, 3DES) Oracle Exadata Database Machine Security Data breaches continue to make headlines as hackers and criminal organizations launch sophisticated attacks on large data repositories seeking credit card numbers, email addresses and other sensitive information. While distributed databases provided security through physical separation, they are costly to operate and often impede businesses agility. Data consolidation provides increased business efficiencies, cost savings and ultimately stronger security as fewer databases need to be secured and monitored. The Oracle Exadata Database Machine can utilize Oracle’s industry leading database security solutions to block threats and detect unauthorized activity. Misuse of privileged user credentials, insider threats, and SQL injection are just a few of the threats that can be detected and prevented. Oracle Exadata Database Machine with Oracle Advanced Security Oracle Advanced Security transparent data encryption (TDE) protects sensitive data such as credit card numbers and email addresses from attempts to access at the operating system level, on backup media or in database exports. No triggers, views or other costly changes to the application are required. TDE leverages performance and storage optimizations of the Oracle Exadata Database Machine, including the Smart Flash Cache and Hybrid Columnar Compression (EHCC). Compression interoperates seamlessly with TDE because it takes place before the data is encrypted. Oracle Enterprise Linux running on the Compute Nodes automatically leverages the hardware cryptographic acceleration available in its Intel® XEON® 5600 CPUs. This additional performance boost provides up to 10 times faster encryption and decryption, important for data consolidation and warehousing. 1

ORACLE DATA SHEET Oracle Exadata Database Machine with Oracle Database Vault Oracle Database Vault protects against misuse of stolen login credentials, application bypass, and unauthorized changes to applications, including attempts to make copies of application tables. Oracle Database Vault realms form a protective boundary around existing applications, blocking administrative accounts from having ad-hoc access to application data or make unauthorized application changes. Oracle Database Vault command rules enable policy based controls to be deployed inside the Oracle database, limiting...
