and data encryption to users of Oracle databases.

Network encryption (native network encryption and [[SSL/TLS]]) and strong authentication services ([[Kerberos (protocol)|Kerberos]], PKI, and [[RADIUS]]) are no longer part of Oracle Advanced Security and are available in all licensed editions of all supported releases of the Oracle database.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/license.112/e47877/options.htm#DBLIC143|title=Database Licensing Information}}</ref>

== Regulations & Compliances ==

Oracle Advanced Security provides solutions for companies to comply with encryption requirements for regulations like [[General Data Protection Regulation|GDPR]], CCPA, [[Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard|PCI-DSS]], HIPAA, and more. Satisfy audit requirements and avoid fines.

== Features ==

'''Transparent Data Encryption :''' Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) stops would-be attackers from bypassing the database and reading sensitive information directly from storage by enforcing data-at-rest encryption in the database layer. Encrypt individual data columns, entire tablespaces, database exports, and backups to control access to sensitive data.

'''Data Redaction :''' Data Redaction complements TDE by reducing the risk of unauthorized data exposure in applications, redacting sensitive data before it leaves the database. Partial or full redaction prevents large-scale extraction of sensitive data into reports and spreadsheets

'''Transparent to Applications :''' Encryption is implemented at the database kernel level, eliminating the need for any changes to applications.

'''Integrated Security :''' Oracle Advanced Security is engineered to work seamlessly with Oracle Exadata, Oracle Real Application Clusters, Oracle Data Guard, Oracle Golden Gate, and more.
