A fully managed Oracle Cloud service that consolidates five database security pillars — Security Assessment, User Assessment, Data Discovery, Data Masking, and Activity Auditing — into a single console for Oracle databases. Security Assessment benchmarks database configurations against the CIS Oracle Database standard; User Assessment profiles every database account by privilege and risk; Data Discovery scans schemas for 125+ sensitive data types (PII, PHI, financial); Data Masking generates anonymized copies for safe use in development and testing; Activity Auditing captures privileged user actions and DDL changes with real-time alerting. Free for Autonomous Database targets. AWS equivalents include AWS Macie (data discovery) and Amazon GuardDuty for RDS; the Azure equivalent is Microsoft Defender for SQL.
A healthcare provider registers all Autonomous Databases in OCI Data Safe. A weekly Security Assessment identifies three medium-risk findings — excess PUBLIC grants and two accounts with DBA privilege but no recent logins. The team uses Data Discovery to inventory all PHI columns, then generates a masking policy to produce a HIPAA-compliant development copy of their patient database in under an hour — replacing a manual process that previously took days.
AWS Macie provides data discovery similar to OCI Data Safe's Data Discovery, while Amazon GuardDuty for RDS offers security monitoring. Microsoft Defender for SQL provides security features for Azure SQL databases.
