Oracle Database Vault Increases Security of SAP Application Data

As security still rides high on the list of CIO priorities, Oracle has announced that its Database Vault has been certified for use with SAP applications.

Oracle Database Vault allows organizations to strengthen security and comply more closely with regulations by controlling when, where, how and by whom SAP application data is accessed. This control extends to all users with the Database Vault, including privileged users such as administrators.

Organisations can ensure, using Oracle Database Vault, that users cannot override SAP application security features, thus protecting SAP application data from access using ad-hoc database query tools. This is achieved by establishing protective realms around SAP application database objects to prevent any user accessing sensitive data.
