Pete Finnigan's Oracle Security Weblog

I am speaking a number of times in the coming months on the subjects of Oracle Security. These are:

http://www.ukoug.org/calendar/show_event.jsp?id=2908 - (broken link) UKOUG Windows SIG - Blythe Valley Park - September 25th

My presentation is called "Securing Oracle on Windows" - The description is:

"Most larger databases are in general hosted on Unix systems and so most of the material around securing Oracle tends to focus on Unix systems. This presentation hopes to rectify this imbalance somewhat. Pete has real world experience in performing security audits on key Oracle systems that run on Windows and in this paper will look at some of the major differences and also highlight some of his own experience. Securing Oracle is often very time consuming and complex and doing so on Windows is often harder often due to the industry preference for Unix documentation"

My presentation is called "Oracle Security on 11g" - This talk doesnt have a description yet but will be about the new Oracle security features in 11gR1 and whats changed.
