GDPR and Database Security Speeches

The new EU GDPR and Database Security in general keeps me busy. I’ve updated the list of speeches and events for the next couple of month. It’s an interesting mix between GDPR, Oracle Database Security and MS SQL Server 2016 security. Depending on the feedback of the Call For Papers for the DOAG Conference and the Oracle OpenWorld there will probably be more. But for now I’ll definitely give a full day training on Oracle Database 12c Security at the Education day on DOAG Conference.

    My Speeches

    Titel: Security Best Practice: Oracle passwords, but secure!

    Elevator Pitch:  Authentication is an integral part of security. If authentication or passwords are insufficient, all further security measures are obsolete. But how do you ensure that passwords are complex? We will explain the different password hashes and show how to make sure authentication is secure.

    Description: Authentication is an integral part of database security. If authentication or passwords are insufficient or inadequate, all further security measures are generally useless. But how do you ensure that passwords are complex and authentication is secure? In this presentation, the password hashes will be explained and it will be shown how to make sure passwords and authentication are state of the art. Focusing on the current versions of the Oracle database, the following topics will be discussed:

    • Oracle database authentication
    • Password verification and hashes
    • Where can I find password hashes?
    • Check and password hashes.
    • Discussion of various risks related to authentication.
    • Discussion of password policies and strong passwords.
    • Customer Use Case in the DB Vault environment "ups we have forgotten the passwords".

    The presentation will be supplemented by corresponding examples and live demos.
