How many times have we heard of breaches due to compromised (guessed or brute forced) passwords?

So, can we get rid of passwords from the Oracle database? Are there more secure alternatives?

Well, there are a number of extremely low-risk easy changes and various other things we can do to remove passwords. Let’s discuss password weaknesses and some alternatives for authentication. And categorize, group and rank each suggestion based on implementation risk and complexity.

Keeping data private and secure is a major challenge, and we need proof of making those efforts. We managed to be compliant and safeguard databases by implementing various Oracle Security products and features. We implemented Transparent data encryption (TDE), Backup Encryption, Database Vault, Audit Vault, GoldenGate Encryption, Data Masking and several other security best practices. In this session, the attendees will have a revision of all available Oracle Advanced Security features and will get a brief idea what it takes to implement those.

When companies only had the option to license monitoring tools for their applications and databases, a lot of time was spent evaluating them to ensure they would meet business needs. I know, I used to be one of those DBAs requesting budget, then became a tools vendor responding to such inquiries, and today a Product Manager for Observability and Management solutions. But as applications and their infrastructure stack changed, has anyone in the organization validated that the tools procured in the past, meet the latest business, compliance, or regulatory needs?

During this session, you will learn how to use new features in Release 23/22 to automate the sales order process using Orchestrator Studio, Workflow Studio, and Logic Extensions.

How do you protect your PeopleSoft or JD Edwards application infrastructure from vulnerabilities, undesired configuration changes, ensure principles of least privilege and compliance with security policies?

In this session, you’ll learn how MySQL HeatWave provides a single database service for transaction processing, analytics, machine learning, and data lake applications. It eliminates the complexity of ETL operations and existing MySQL applications run without any changes. MySQL HeatWave provides the best price-performance among competing offerings and is offered on multiple clouds.

One of the most critical aspects of building effective systems is the successful management of semi-structured information. The database is no longer only a place to store dollars and cents for the purposes of accounting. Efficient manipulation of XML and JSON has become one of the most critical elements of contemporary database infrastructure – and in the majority of cases XML or JSON internally are implemented as LOBs. However, few people in the development community really understand the underlying mechanics of Oracle LOB datatypes and consider it yet another DBA issue. This presentation attempts to fill that knowledge gap.

You will probably be surprised by what you learn in this session. Oracle offers a comprehensive portfolio that enables you choice. Enterprise Manager is our flagship on-premises management product for databases and Engineered Systems that 10s of 1000s of customers rely on every day. OCI Database Management is a cloud-native on-demand managed cloud service that provides single a management view for Oracle Databases on-premises, in the cloud, and in multicloud environments enabling users with real-time performance diagnostics and administration capabilities. Presented by the subject matter experts, get your questions answered and learn which is the better solution for your needs.

The ability for an employee to identify and express themselves is a basic expectation, especially when it comes to a social construct like gender. To on-board and retain an inclusive and diverse group of employees, there is a pressing need to add nonbinary gender option for employees in Self Service since it fosters a positive, welcoming and supportive environment. PeopleSoft HCM team delivered Gender Identity and Expression options with PUM Image 41. This presentation is a discussion of these features and our implementation experiences. We will talk about what there is to know and consider, how to analyze impacts to existing policies and procedures and finally implementing a solution to meet the needs for your organization that supports employee diversity and inclusion strategy.
Learning Objective #1 Understand the need and impacts of Gender Identity and Expression.
Learning Objective #2 Review what Oracle/PeopleSoft delivered in HCM PUM 41
