Discover oracle database auditing to protect data and meet gdpr, pci, and ccpa regulations by mastering standard, unified, and fine-grained auditing, audit trails, and hands-on concept and practice lectures.
Explore standard auditing in Oracle database, learn to track sql statements, system privileges, and schema objects, and access audit trail records for use in a multi-tenant environment.
Enable the in session current option to apply to specific sessions and capture sql statements, privileges, and objects with standard auditing, including not exists and logon triggers.
Explore the benefits of unified audit and when fine-grained audit (FGA) is needed, and learn to create and manage audit policies and retrieve audit records to enhance database security.
Save audit records to external bin files when the database runs in read-only mode. Load these files into the unified audit trail with dbms_audit_mgmt.load_unified_audit_files when database opens in read-write mode.
Set up unified audit trail logging by configuring syslog, restarting services, loading external audit files into the internal audit trail, then verify and clean up audit policies.
