About This Workshop
This workshop demonstrates how to implement advanced access controls using Oracle Database Vault on Oracle Autonomous Database. Key focus areas include enforcing separation of duties, restricting privileged user operations, and applying contextual controls based on SYS_CONTEXT attributes such as IP address, hostname, and OS user.

These capabilities are essential for reducing the risk of common attack vectors, including credential compromise and privilege escalation. By leveraging Database Vault, organizations can adopt a zero trust model at the data layer and enforce strong governance without altering application code. Database Vault is included with most Oracle Cloud Database offerings, including Autonomous Database, Base Database Service High and Extreme Performance editions, and Exadata Cloud@Customer.
