My company just spent a bomb on PGP entire disk encryption.
Ok we do banking software and have several large banks as customers.
We have systems on laptops for debugging/testing.
Oracle is setup to use ASM on its own partition on the laptops.
PGP can not encrypt it.!!!
What I want to know is how secure the database is if the laptop is
stolen/ disk removed.
The c: drive which can be encrypted has the oracle applications. ini and .ora files.
I have bios startup/disk passwords. PGP on windows drives. However I am being asked to put oracle data files on a PGP encrypted windows system instead of an ASM partition due to security.
Tried google and not a lot shows up for hacking or reading oracle asm partitions.
So I am asking how nest to secure ASM partitions. or how secure is ASM? Received on Wed Feb 27 2008 - 10:19:45 CST
