List of security benefits of Oracle’s Autonomous Database
1. There is no DBA access, no root access, no Operating System access… Still you can create users, roles, etc. just as before. But certain the commands are blacklisted.
2. There are no customer-managed keys: Oracle manages the keys.
3. Oracle automatically applies all security updates/patches to ensure data is not vulnerable to known attack vectors.
4. All data is encrypted using transparent data encryption.
5. Still database security features such as Virtual Private Database and Data Redaction are available.
6. Network connections from clients to the Autonomous Database are also encrypted using the client credentials wallet.
7. Data is encrypted everywhere: SQL*Net traffic, data in tablespaces and data in backups.
8. It is now possible to specify an access control list that blocks all IP addresses that are not in the list from accessing the database.
9. Oracle has been engaging with external assessment entities and independent auditors to meet a broad set of international and industry-specific compliance standards for service deployments in Oracle Cloud such as ISO 27001, SOC1, SOC2, PCI DSS, HIPAA/HITECH, and FedRAMP.
10. All operations are being audited.
