It attempts to explain the maximization of security capabilities in Oracle database, Oracle Application Express and Oracle Business Intelligence Suite, thus ensuring completely secured information system to the customers. The book starts with a discussion about the new technologies that have evolved of late, such as transparent data encryption, audit vault and database vault. It then moves on to explaining the application server infrastructure and identity and access management, APEX and finally the Oracle Business Intelligence Suite (OBI).

In addition, the book also provides some proven strategies on how to protect data and applications.

As such, the guide focusses not just on studying security features in a standalone context. Rather, it intends to apply security technologies to the art of creating database applications.
