Oracle Database Vault vs Audit Vault and database firewall

Hi All,
I would like to know the main difference between Oracle Database Vault and Oracle Audit Vault and Database firewall.
I have read all the white papers and documents on them both and find them very similar in work process.
Only difference I see in the pricing.
I feel Oracle audit Vault can do all the work of Database Vault with added feature of proactive session monitoring.
If someone can help me based on their knowledge and experience it would be appreciated.
Thank you.

I have read the white papers of both Database Vault and Audit Vault
According to database Vault sessions can be managed using various roles created as per business requirements.
Audit vault offers same thing in terms of a firewall which manages and restrictions based on roles created .
From the white papers:
DATABAES VAULT:
Oracle Database Vault restricts access to specific areas in an Oracle database from any user, including users who have administrative access.
This enables you to apply fine_grained access control to your sensitive data in a variety of ways.
Oracle Database Vault enables you to create the following components to manage security for your database:
Realms
Command Rules
Factors
Rule Sets.
DATABAE AUDIT AND FIREWALL:
Oracle Audit Vault and database Firewall consolidates database activity monitoring events and audit logs. Policies enforce expected application behaviour, helping preventing SQL injection, application bypass, and other malicious activities from reaching the database while also monitoring and auditing privileged users and other activities inside the database.
To me these sound very similar of doing same work.
My apologies as I am unable to paste the whole text here and I cannot type full documents here

  • Audit Vault Agents

    Hi,
    I have three hosts two with windows server and oracle database 10g on each server and the third is a linux server with 11g database i want to colect informacion about operative system, database audit and redo log in this tree hosts. How is the license? How many licenses of
    Audit Collection Agent must I purchase?
    How would the installation of agents in this environment where and how would I install?
    Thanks a lot !!.
    Medalith.

    Contact your salesperson with respect to licensing. It would be inappropriate for any of us, in this forum, to attempt to speak on behalf of Oracle.
    It isn't Q4 yet so they don't bite. <g>
    As to where agents should be installed ... it is well documented if you look here:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/audit-vault/index.html
    or read the installation docs.
    But again contact your sales person. They have a sales engineer on their team that can advise you.

  • Audit vault vs auditing of access

    Can anyone help clarifying what is included in 11g and what is an extra cost? It sounds like AuditVault is an add-on product/cost?
    But what about the audit settings I see here with DBMS_AUDIT_MGMT:
    http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/auditing-enhancements-11gr2.php
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14072_01/network.112/e10574/auditing.htm
    It looks like any enterprise license already has the right to create logs with DBMS_AUDIT_MGMT for free/included. Is that correct? If so, what extra does auditvault give you? It looks like the reporting/alerting/etc...
    But if I just send the raw/free audit logs to splunk for alerting/reporting, it looks like I can still do my own reporting without adding an extra oracle package. Does that sound right?
    Thank you!

    If so, what extra does auditvault give you? It looks like the reporting/alerting/etc...yes ,a GUI based product to setup auditing at database level and get alert,pdf report based on requirement.
    it consolidate data from all source Once consolidated, Oracle Audit Vault removes audit data from the source systems where the audit data was generated, simplifying the management of auditing across the enterprise

  • Audit Vault & Apex - ANONYMOUS user recorded rather than Apex end user

    Hi,
    We have Audit Vault 10.2.3 & Apex 3.2
    Audit Vault stores the name of the database user when a table is updated through SQL*Plus etc as expected.
    Problem is through Apex and insert to db table using simple form on table the user ANONYMOUS is recorded.
    We need to have the actual end user logged into Application Express.
    Is there anyway of configuring Audit Vault or Apex to use/pass v('APP_USER')? Does something need to be done in Apex to set a session?
    Running the below shows 2 ANONYMOUS users and no APEX_PUBLIC_USER or Apex end user.
    select username, count(*)
    from v$session
    group by username;
    Any advice & guidance would be great - thanks in advance.

    Having posted the same question on the Apex forum I received the following response and have been able to use CLIENT_ID to return the apex user and session details. Thought it best to post here too incase others search for the same information.
    Since Audit Vault relies on native database auditing it can only collect information that is recorded by the "source" database in its audit trail. APEX populates the CLIENT_INFO field of the connection with the APP_USER. However, CLIENT_INFO is not recorded in the audit trail. Instead the CLIENT_ID is captured. APEX records a composite value in this field. The value is formatted as "APP_USER:SESSION_ID". This value should be recorded in the audit trail and consequently sent to Audit Vault. Audit Vault's reports should be able to display this field, and you can filter on it to get the information you need.

    Hi Elmin,
    I was doing implementation on Audit Vault with around twenty source databases. These were hardware requirements:
    Server:
    HP-UX 11.31, 2 CPUs, 16 GB RAM, 1TB of storage for database
    Agent (these are from the installation guide):
    - At least 512 MB of available physical memory (RAM)
    - Swap space of 1024 MB or twice the size of RAM
    - 400 MB of disk space in the /tmp directory
    - 1.6 GB of disk space for the Oracle Audit Vault collection agent software (but if you apply patches you need actually more than this).
    Regards,
    Sve

  • Audit vault 11g course ?

    hi all,
    i wonder why Oracle has the "11g database: implement database vault" course, but NOT has the course "11g database: implement audit vault" (just has 10g).
    does Oracle not improve audit vault any more ?
    Regards.

    Hi:
    I'm not sure I understand the issue. Database Vault is an option of the Oracle database. When the Oracle database changes version to 11+g+, or 11+g+R2, so do its features, including Database Vault. Audit Vault, on the other hand, is a stand-alone solution. It follows its own numbering scheme independent from the database. In that respect, it is like the eBusiness Suite, which is at R12 even though the database is not.

    No they cannot send you a document that is available only to those with access to MOS.
    That would violate the conditions of having such service contract credentials.
    Asking someone to violate such privileges is a serious offense and could get that other person's organization banned from all support and all their support contracts cancelled.
    Your post is locked.
    Your duplicate post that you placed into the Audit Vault forum space has been removed (it had no responses).

  • Oracle Audit Vault and Database Firewall implementaion

    Dear All,
    we are planning to implement Oracle Audit Vault and Database Firewall on 2 node 11g RAC/solaris10, please advise me to ahead in details
    Thanks

    Recently purchased Audit Vault and Database Firewall
    My question is with Audit Vault.
    All of the documentation says that i need Oracle Linux 5.8 as part of the installation. We do not have any servers now that support 5.8 currently. When I check the HCL for Oracle Linux 5.8 i see only 4 Oracle servers that support this version
    Sun Server X2-4
    Sun Server X2-8
    Sunfire X2270 M2
    Sunfire X4470
    The only two servers that are currently offer for purchase by Oracle are the X2-4 and X2-8 which are way overkill both in power and price for this application.
    The X2270 M2 would fit nicely, but is no longer offered for sale. In it place is the X3-2 which would fit nicely, but it listed as supporting Oracle Linux 5.8. Oracle Linux 5.9 is supported on the X3-2.
    My question is will Oracle Linux 5.9 or newer install to support Audit Vault? The documentation specifies Linux 5.8. Is this flexible or not?
    Thanks,

    Can anyone tell me where, if any place, that Oracle writes  a log for when it is moving data collected by the Database Firewall into the Audit Vault repository?  Based on "holes" in the data, it appears that the collection and load from the database firewall mysteriously stops but will collect normally once the enforcement point is recycled.
    Environment:  Audit Vault Database Firewall 12.1.0.2
