Oracle Autonomous Database in Enterprise Architecture

By: Sharma, Krishnakumar KM, Panda

Overview of this book

Oracle Autonomous Database (ADB) is built on the world’s fastest Oracle Database Platform, Exadata, and is delivered on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), customer data center (ExaCC), and Oracle Dedicated Region Cloud. This book is a fast-paced, hands-on introduction to the most important aspects of OCI Autonomous Databases. You'll get to grips with concepts needed for designing disaster recovery using standby database deployment for Autonomous Databases. As you progress, you'll understand how you can take advantage of automatic backup and restore. The concluding chapters will cover topics such as the security aspects of databases to help you learn about managing Autonomous Databases, along with exploring the features of Autonomous Database security such as Data Safe and customer-managed keys for Vaults. By the end of this Oracle book, you’ll be able to build and deploy an Autonomous Database in OCI, migrate databases to ADB, comfortably set up additional high-availability features such as Autonomous Data Guard, and understand end-to-end operations with ADBs.

Data Discovery

Data Safe scans the database for sensitive data. The sensitive data will be identified based on column names, actual data, and comments. Data Safe provides over 170 predefined sensitive types that are used to search for sensitive data in the database. We can add new sensitive types to search for, but existing types can’t be altered.

The top-level categories for predefined sensitive types are as follows:

  • Identification information: Sensitive identifiers such as a US Social Security number or Indian Aadhaar number
  • Biographic information: Sensitive types such as a complete address, date of birth, or religion
  • IT information: Sensitive types such as a user ID, password, or IP address. Data related to user IT data
  • Financial information: Sensitive information such as credit card information and bank account details
  • Healthcare information: Sensitive types such as a health insurance number or blood type
  • Employment information: Sensitive information...
