Join the Oracle Security Masterclass this December in York!

Are your organisation’s Oracle databases fully secured or are you leaving the door ajar to unwanted access, data leaks or worse? If you’re responsible for managing, designing or auditing Oracle databases, then the upcoming three-day course by Pete Finnigan is one you won’t want to miss.

What’s on offer



A three-day intensive training event, running from Wednesday 3rd to Friday 5th December 2025, in the historic city of York (Tower Court, Oakdale Rd, YO30 4XL).

Live demo coverage of both theory and practice: you’ll start by exploring how an Oracle database can be attacked from end-user, developer and DBA vantage points and then you’ll dig into how to defend, design and audit your Oracle database environment fully.

Topics include authentication, authorisation, roles & profiles, the underlying OS and network layers, Oracle specific security options (Database Vault, VPD, TSDP, Encryption), audit trails and forensic response processes.

Suitable whether your databases are on-premises or in the cloud this training covers the architecture, threats and mitigation strategies relevant to both.

Why this course stands out



Pete Finnigan is a recognised expert an Oracle ACE Pro, member of the OakTable and SYM42 groups, with decades of experience in auditing and securing Oracle environments.

The training provides over 650 pages of slides and notes, 150+ free tools and scripts, and a 30-day engagement licence for PFCLScan and PFCLForensics (tools created by Pete’s team).

With a small-group format, you’ll benefit from direct interaction, real-life anecdotes and hands-on learning rather than generic lectures.

Who should attend



Whether you’re a DBA, system architect, developer (especially PL/SQL/Apex), security auditor, or a manager overseeing Oracle teams if you engage with Oracle databases in any way and care about protecting data, this class is highly relevant.

Investment & registration



The fee is £1,095 GBP + VAT for the full three days.

Tea/coffee and lunch are included each day.

Places are limited to keep the class intimate so if you’re serious, book early.

Final word



In a world where data breaches and insider threats loom large, this is your chance to sharpen your Oracle-security toolkit, learn from one of the field’s best, and return to your organisation with actionable insights and tools you can deploy immediately. Plus you’ll be based in beautiful York, a city steeped in Roman and Viking history, with the chance to enjoy the surroundings while you learn.
