- Administer encryption controls such as Transparent Data Encryption and file-system-level encryption, as well as encrypted database connections.
- Review vulnerability assessment findings, assess database impact and apply required remediation or patches through controlled change processes.
- Configure and maintain database auditing and reporting mechanisms, and provide traceable evidence for reviews and audits.
- Troubleshoot Oracle network configuration, listener issues, certificates, connection encryption and authentication problems.
