In 2012 the Verizon RISK team researched Data Breach Investigations. It found that around the world, more than 1 billion records from databases were breached from 2004 to 2011. Companies, therefore, are endeavoring all over the world to secure their sensitive data.

Oracle 12c continues to be the most excellent security feature. It contains two features, namely, Oracle Database Firewall and Oracle Audit vault, which are integrated into one secure software platform. Oracle 12c is designed to provide data mining tools and security and facilitate the regular running of analysis reports.

Oracle Database 12c offers many security features listed on its security guide to the companies. There is security called a plethora, which has a Unified Data Trail brand new feature that is more effective (Chakkappen et al., 2017). It has specific audit trails for individual and separate audit trails. The audit trails are unified into one which can be viewed from the UNIFIED_ AUDIT_TRAIL data.

The Use of Oracle 12c has many benefits since it is integrated with Audit mining tools. It is, therefore, more effective in the analysis of audit logs. Most companies prefer it as it has selective policies that limit log entries to specific events. It provides security through limiting entry from individually identified IP addresses (Farooq, Avantsa, and Sharman, 2016). It also includes the use of other specifications of variables like the connection type, periods, and other programs.

Oracle 12c has therefore been able to eliminate the challenge of time when running analysis reports. It has also been able to eradicate the issue of inconsistency in audit sets achieved through a single audit for all audit setts. It also ensures the consistency of the audit information as it is formatted into consistent fields, given its specificity. Above all, Oracle 12c has secured most companies’ data, which were prone to breach and access by intruders in the past.
