Title: Chapter 12 Implementing Oracle Security
Course: RITA MC - ORACLE ADMINISTRATION I > Section: Unit 3 - Database Administration I

Security is an issue of vital concern at all sites. All organizations should have a security
manual documenting rules and procedures. In security, there is no right or wrong; there is only conformance or non-conformance to agreed procedures. If administrators follow the rules and advise on what those rules should be, then any breach of security is not their fault. But unfortunately, history shows that when something goes wrong in the security arena, there is a great desire to blame individuals. It is vitally important that administration staff should be able to point to a rule book that lays down the procedures they should follow, and to routines and logs that demonstrate that they did indeed follow them. This devolves the responsibility to the authors of the rule book, the security manual. If no such manual exists, then any problems are likely to be dumped on the most convenient scapegoat. This is often the database administrator(DBA). You have been warned.
