SANS Institute: Oracle Database Vault Review - Controlling Privileged User Access to Sensitive Application Data

Privileged users are often granted the keys to the kingdom, giving them access to critical data within the database, even if they do not need to see, copy or touch that data in order to do their jobs. Regulations require that only those who need access to sensitive data should be given access. In this hands-on review, the SANS Institute Analyst Program examines Oracle Database Vault, which provides the capability to limit access of privileged users and DBAs to critical data and actions.
