Good point, the checklists on my site also talk about Oracle auditing - I have a paper on auditing and also my paper "detecting SQL injection on Oracle" (http://www.petefinnigan.com/orasec.htm) talks about some ideas for trapping actions such as SQL Injection. As you also say analysing firewall logs with or without an IDS is also very important.

Kind regards

Pete
