Sit down for casual conversation with Q&A as customers share their insights & experience on hot topics like Oracle Database 23c, Engineered Service, Enterprise Manager 13.5, and Machine Learning.
This workshop is a hands-on lab dedicated to the features and functionality of Oracle database security against the most common cyberattacks.
Through the example of a Ransomware attack, you will explore how attackers operate and what features you should use to prevent, detect and mitigate their attacks.
For more details on each of the featured capabilities in this lab, please refer to the LiveLabs *DB Security Basics* and *DB Security Advanced*
Based on an OCI architecture deployed in just a few minutes with a simple internet connection, this workshop allows you to test common database security use cases in an entirely pre-configured environment by the Oracle Database Security Product Management team.

Integrate, Analyze and Act on All Data using Autonomous Database
About this workshop:
This workshop uses Oracle Cloud’s modern data platform for analytics to enable MovieStream to better understand their customers, predict churn and provide targeted recommendations and promotions. We’ll start with two key components of MovieSteam’s architecture. MovieStream is storing its data across Oracle Object Storage and Autonomous Database. Data is captured from various sources into a landing zone in object storage. This data is then processed (cleansed, transformed, and optimized) and stored in a gold zone on object storage. Once the data is curated, it is loaded into an Autonomous Database where it is analyzed by many (and varied) members of the user community – from data analysts to data scientists. These users will take advantage of a variety of Autonomous Database capabilities: advanced Oracle SQL to glean customer insights, Oracle Machine Learning to predict churn, and Oracle Spatial and Graph to provide targeted promotions.
Outline
- Introduction to MovieStream
- Get started
- Lab 1: Provision an ADB instance
- Lab 2: Use Data Tools to create a user and load data
- Lab 3: Use SQL to analyze movie sales data

- Lab 6: Find the closest pizza shops with Oracle Spatial
- Lab 7: Use Graph analytics for product recommendation
