In the era of internal threats and compliance, Oracle believes that administrators should not have full control over the information in the databases they manage.

Oracle, a business software giant, is developing new software that allows database administrators to set access restrictions. Wynn White, Senior Oracle supervisor, said the new software to be released next month-Oracle Database Vault-will strengthen access control and help the company meet regulatory and privacy requirements, and prevent the database from being damaged by vicious and dedicated employees.

"We are taking the keys to the empire from these people," said White. You want them to access the information they need, but you don't want them to access other content ."

Noel Yuhanna, an analyst at the Forrester Research Institute, said Database Vault will sell well, especially those that contain private data. He estimates that 1/3 of the database systems in use will apply the software. "Enterprises want their administrators to manage databases rather than data," he said ."

Yuhanna said that Oracle's new access restriction feature takes the lead among database vendors. "Microsoft, IBM, and Sybase have no similar products," he said ." However, he added that in the near future, competing products may provide similar functions.

In addition to increasing the database security of database vendors, several other vendors, including Guardium, Tizor, and Crossroads, are also providing products for monitoring data storage access. These companies have also positioned their products as compliant with laws and regulations.

Oracle plans to sell Database Vault together as a gift for Oracle Database Enterprise Edition. It is priced at $20 thousand per processor or $400 per user, and can be used together with the latest version of the company's all-powerful database product last year-version 10g Release 2.

In addition to selling access restrictions in the form of gifts, Oracle should also include them in its core database products. Yuhanna said: "Many customers will make this request. Oracle will do the same if Microsoft and IBM offer similar products at a similar price or make such products part of their database ."

In addition to Database Vault, Oracle plans to release a new software, Oracle Secure Backup, to encrypt and back up information stored in the Database on Wednesday. oracle said the software could encrypt data and copy it to tape storage devices. Oracle said in a statement that the software can work with various versions of the Oracle database, now available, and the price per tape drive device is $3000.
