Database Vault realms

Block unauthorized access to sensitive data by creating restricted application environments within Oracle Database. Oracle Database Vault security controls also help organizations address compliance with data privacy laws and standards such as the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR), the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS), and numerous other regulations that require strong internal controls on access, disclosure, or modifications to sensitive information.


Oracle Database Vault use cases

  • Protect sensitive data

    Block attackers from accessing sensitive data with stolen privileged user credentials—the most common attack vector today.

  • Prevent inadvertent access

    Block accidental access by database administrators to sensitive data without compromising their ability to perform necessary tasks.

  • Prevent unauthorized database changes

    Block accidental or malicious changes to production databases and restrict authorized changes to defined maintenance periods.

  • Enforce policy-based access control

    Prevent misuse of privileged credentials outside allowed IP address, time of day, client programs, and more.

  • Separation of duties

    Define and separate roles for security and administration so administrators can’t modify security policies or access sensitive data.
