Utilize Oracle Advanced Security to encrypt application tablespaces, thereby safeguarding sensitive data from unauthorized access. Implementing redaction policies helps curb the spread of sensitive information and enhances compliance with data protection laws. Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) acts as a barrier against potential attackers who might attempt to read sensitive data directly from storage by ensuring encryption of data at rest within the database. You can encrypt individual data columns, entire tablespaces, database exports, and backups for better control over access to sensitive information. Data Redaction works in conjunction with TDE to further mitigate the risk of unauthorized data exposure within applications by obscuring sensitive information before it exits the database. By allowing for partial or full redaction, it prevents extensive extraction of sensitive data into reports and spreadsheets. Additionally, encryption is carried out at the database kernel level, which removes the necessity for modifications to existing applications, thus streamlining the implementation process. Ultimately, these security measures work together to provide a robust framework for protecting sensitive data throughout its lifecycle.
