Oracle Database Auditing

Analysis by security professionals has proven that most vulnerabilities in the Oracle database are due to poor configuration of the Oracle database as well as a lack of change of vendor default parameters. Attackers, as well as dubious operators and administrators, try to find these security flaws in the Oracle applications or servers and then try to take advantage of them to steal confidential customer information, modify or delete customer or transaction data to their benefit and gain control of the Oracle database to cause harm or denial of service to the targeted organization. Hence, it has become a must for organizations to educate their System Auditors about the security auditing of Oracle databases.
