Oracle Database Security Audit Training Courses in York September 2015 [ 5 Days ]

York City Walls

Pete Finnigan is going to teach all of his companies Oracle Security training classes in a unique event to be held in his home city of York, England. We will present all four current; up to date Oracle security classes that we have.currently available. Our 4 classes are structured to tell a complete story of securing data held and used in Oracle databases.

In the first two day class we start with looking at why data can be insecure and how this is affected by the way the database works itself, how we as customers of Oracle make data insecure in our designs,methods and processed used and then how hackers can attack and steal data. We go on to plan a security audit and then walk through a complete sample security audit and then place the results into the context of securing all of the data held.

In the second class we look at the problems caused by insecure coding techniques in PL/SQL and SQL particularly things like SQL Injection and then we look at designing better applications from data domains to privileges to secure coding techniques. We also explore ideas around protecting PL/SQL itsef through use of context based security and also obfuscation. Finally we discuss source code reviews.

In the third class we look at designing practical audit trails for the Oracle database. We explore the ideas of design from the high level and all of the techniques that can be used in the database to generate audit. We also explore how multi-layered audit can work and also how multiple solutions can be correlated. We also discuss techniques such as IDS, IPS and also database firewalls. The class includes a tool kit that can be used to implement audit policies across multiple Oracle audit solutions and tools.

In the fourth class we look at performing a high level audit of an Oracle database using a free PL/SQL SQL*Plus script. We explore lots of areas of locking down and securing an Oracle database including exploring the core issues with our sample application and database and then locking it down. The class explores areas such as CPU's, hardening and also design based security such as context based security, password management, breakglass, user privilege analysis, DBA design and more. In each example we present the problem and work through solutions and provide free tools to let you do the same.

“It really was an excellent course that crammed a lot into two days, delivering a good understanding of the fundamental security risks and flaws around the data in an Oracle database and providing the knowledge and skills required to carry out a database security audit from first principals”

-- M.C, Information security and assurance provider, UK

The classes are interspersed by lots of real life experience in the area of Oracle security by one of the few people who performs detailed security audits of Oracle databases worldwide. Lots of anecdotes, wisdom and real life!
