Australian businesses are now facing more than ever-increasing cyber threats. Safeguarding sensitive and often critical business data within your Oracle database is paramount. Over two decades in the industry, you would be shocked to see how frequently we’ve uncovered weak or reused database passwords. These are some of the most common entry points for cybercriminals. Imagine the devastating impact a data breach could have on your business’s reputation and bottom line.

At Blue Crystal Solutions, we understand the unique challenges Australian businesses face. We offer tailored password management solutions to protect your Oracle Database.

Why Strong Password Management is essential

Effective password management prevents data breaches and maintains your business’s reputation. Here’s why:

  • Strong, unique passwords: The first line of defence against unauthorised access is to create complex passwords for all database users, including privileged accounts.
  • Regular password updates: Regularly changing passwords reduces the risk of a successful cyberattack. Did you know 80% of data breaches involve weak, default, or reused passwords? (Source: Australian Cyber Security Centre)
  • Eliminate password sharing. Shared passwords increase the risk of a breach. Enforcing individual passwords significantly enhances security.
  • Secure password storage: Protecting passwords with encrypted vaults is essential to prevent unauthorised access.
