09:30 - 10:30 - Holistic Database Security - Rob Lockard

Abstract: For years we have been locking down software to protect information. This presentation puts the focus where it belongs: identifying, protecting, and selecting the correct tools to protect your data. Starting with a brief history of security breaches and the impact to both companies and consumers, the presenter will move through a methodology of identifying sensitive information, creating a risk matrix, and which tools are available to mitigate information leaks. Lockard will also explore Attack Vectors, how information leaks, including an open and frank discussion of organized gangs, and identifying the risks in your system and come up with mitigation strategies.

01:00 - 02:00 - PL/SQL Secure Coding Practices - Rob Lockard

Abstract:

The single greatest risk to Oracle Databases is SQL Injection and this presentation will help you secure your high performance code from this type of attack by examining the architecture and common errors in PL/SQL that lead to SQL injection attacks. The session will also cover Code Based Access Controls that enforce a trusted path to data and the new Database 12c features that can be used to limit access paths to data thereby implementing part of creating a trusted path.

02:00 - 02:15 - Lightning Talk: SQL Rewrite Vulnerabilities

02:15 - 02:30 - Break

02:30 - 03:00 - Q&A - Dan Morgan

03:00 - 03:45 - Row Level Security: Oracle's Best Security Tool - Dan Morgan

Abstract:

The Oracle Database holds more valuable PII, PHI, and proprietary data than any other. It is the most secure database in the world and also the biggest and easiest target for attackers. How can it be both the most secure and the most vulnerable at the same time? It is both because the overwhelming majority of the database's security features are disabled by default on installation and DBAs and Developers do not receive training on how to utilize the built-ins.

This presentation by Morgan will focus on the most valuable of these features, Row Level Security (RLS), as it comes included in the licensing for Enterprise Edition and the cost of implementing RLS is minimal. Live in SQL*Plus Morgan will show how, had Experian implemented this tool, the number of credit card accounts that would have been compromised would have been a very small fraction of those that were stolen

03:45 - 04:00 - Giveaways, Prizes, and Closing Remarks
