For an organization that develops software that is installed in many government's networks including the U.S., Oracle has had a dismal security track record until recently despite their "unbreakable" marketing hype, according to a UK expert on Oracle database security. Pointing out that there is a big difference between security standards and real security, Litchfield details their network architecture and its vulnerabilities, how hackers exploit these, and defense strategies and mitigations.
