Security

Security in Oracle Fusion Applications is a comprehensive framework designed to manage user access, data protection, and compliance with organizational policies. It integrates several key components to ensure secure operations across the application suite. Here’s an overview of the key aspects:

1. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

• Security Roles: Oracle Fusion uses predefined roles (e.g., IT Security Manager, Employee, Manager) and allows customization to meet specific business needs.

• Data Security Policies: Roles define not just what users can see but also what they can do with the data.

2. Identity and Access Management (IAM)

• Single Sign-On (SSO): Enables users to log in once and access multiple applications without re-authenticating.

• Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS): Manages user identities, authentication, and authorization for both Fusion applications and other cloud services.

3. Data Security

• Data Masking: Protects sensitive data by masking it for unauthorized users.

• Column-Level Security: Controls access to specific data fields within a database table.

4. Audit and Compliance

• Audit Trails: Tracks user activities to monitor compliance with security policies.

• Security Console: Provides a centralized place to manage security configurations, review audit logs, and troubleshoot access issues.

5. Application and Network Security

• Encryption: Ensures data is encrypted both at rest and in transit.

• Firewall and Network Controls: Protects against external threats.

6. User and Role Management

• Role Hierarchy: Supports complex role structures with parent-child relationships.

• Provisioning and De-provisioning: Automates the process of granting and revoking access as employees join, move within, or leave an organization.

7. Security Patching and Updates

• Regular security patches are released by Oracle to address vulnerabilities.
