Hi, this is Eric Maurice! This very short blog to let you know about recently recorded podcasts and webcasts on Oracle Software Security Assurance topics.
We recently recorded a podcast interview with Oracle CSO, Mary Ann Davidson. In this podcast, Mary Ann discusses the importance of Oracle Software Security Assurance, the role of Oraclei??s Global Product Security Group, and some of the changes that were introduced with the Critical Patch Update.
Oracle and the Enterprise Best Practices Special Interest Group (SIG) of the Independent Oracle User Group recently delivered a one hour webcast introducing Oraclei??s secure configuration initiative and discussing the security enhancements in Oracle Database 11g. In this webcast, Daniel Wong, Director of Engineering for Database Security at Oracle, discusses in technical detail the security changes introduced in the default configuration of Oracle Database Server with 11g. Such changes affect the default audit settings, authentication and password management, and access control changes to certain UTL packages, etc. Daniel then provides security recommendations for customers who are looking at upgrading (or have upgraded to) Oracle Database 11g. A previously recorded webcast providing technical recommendations for securely configuring Oracle databases is also available on the IOUG website under the archived SIG webcasts section.
