Topic: Oracle Security Risks
Format: Speaker
Speaker: Stephen Kost
Stephen Kost is the Chief Technology Officer for Integrigy Corporation. He has been writing about and presenting on Oracle security and auditing for the past 11 years. He has worked with Oracle products since 1994 in many roles including database administrator, technical architect, IT security auditor, and applications administrator.
Stephen says “For most IT security professionals, the Oracle Database is a security challenge due to the complexity of the database and lack of database experience, especially as these databases often contain an organizations most critical data. This presentation will focus on a few of the highest risk and most difficult to solve security risks in an Oracle Database environment including security vulnerabilities, password weaknesses, and generic privileged access. To highlight the unrealized risk of security vulnerabilities in the database, a number of actual patched and un-patched security issues will be demonstrated. In order to mitigate these risks, resources and best practices for securing an organization’s database will be discussed.”
