Oracle Privacy Security Auditing

Written by one the world's most widely-read developers and author of best-selling Oracle books, Don Burleson and Arup Nanda target their substantial knowledge of Oracle Internals to this important book. With decades of experience installing Oracle auditing, Arup Nanda shares secrets for the effective creation of auditing mechanisms for HIPAA compliant Oracle systems.

The Health/Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) was created to ensure privacy for medical patient data. HIPAA requires complete auditing to show everyone who has viewed confidential medical patient information. This permeates from Hospitals, insurance companies, and dozens of healthcare related industries. HIPAA is a framework that provides a complete security access and auditing for Oracle database information.

This book provides complete details for using Oracle auditing features, including auditing from Oracle redo logs, using system-level triggers, and using Oracle9i fine-grained auditing (FGA) for auditing of the retrieval on sensitive information.

Best of all, Burleson & Nanda share dozens of working samples in his online code depot. Examples from all areas of auditing are covered with working scripts and code snippets. Your time savings from a single script is worth the price of this great book.
