Quest Forum Digital Event 2020

Enterprise organizations need a modern protection and recovery solution that is capable of quickly recovering databases to any point in time with the least amount of administrative effort from DBAs and backup administrators without impacting the required RPOs/RTOs. This session will focus on how to architect modern business continuity and disaster recovery solutions for business-critical Oracle workloads on VMware Hybrid Cloud environment. This session will also inculcate best practices that need to be taken into consideration when setting BC and DR for critical workloads. In addition to providing disaster recovery, license compliance is another important aspect of setting up an Oracle environment and this session will address how to effectively stay compliant using industry-standard License Management tool.

Oracle Machine Learning “moves the algorithms to the data”, processing data where it resides—in the Oracle Database (On-premises, Cloud, and Autonomous).   This next-generation, hybrid, combined Data Management, and Machine Learning platform enables companies to harvest more insights from their data, eliminates data movement, delivers scalability, preserves security, and accelerates model deployment. Oracle Machine Learning’s 30+ in-database algorithms can address many business problems e.g. predicting behavior, finding anomalies and detecting potential fraud, recommending “next best offers”, sentiment analysis, anticipating churn and discovering key attributes.   OML supports the key roles—data scientists, business and data analysts, database and application developers, and executives with ML algorithms, SQL, R and Python APIs, AutoML, notebooks, UIs, and tight integration with open-source R and Python.  Come hear the latest developments, how to get started and what’s coming next.

Oracle Databases are a target of cyber-attacks by hackers looking to obtain sensitive data such as credit card numbers and personally identifiable information used in identity theft.  Even though databases are not externally accessible, they are still a target as most cyber-attacks penetrate the network perimeter and look for high-value targets within your internal network.  This session will review and demonstrate the tools most used in database breaches including Metasploit, Nmap, database rootkits, and other tools.  Each tool will be demonstrated and the indications of such use against the database will be shown.
