Database Security With Encryption Software





Encrypt data with an Easy to Use Tool:

In this age value is stored within the world’s information systems. Before the advent and proliferation of computers, corporate value took the form of money and physical documents. Yet just as capital seeks to automate labor – capital has automated exchange value itself, thus replacing physical money with credit and other forms of virtual money.

Today not only is money value stored within the worlds information systems, but the actual marketplace, where the velocity of capital turnover is determined, has been abstracted to a virtual space within the computer and network infrastructure of the world’s information systems – thus today it becomes paramount to protect this real value, just as a bank in the past would protect its physical deposit of money and its ability to conduct business transactions.

Data Encryption and Obfuscation is the ultimate protection against the potential theft or destruction of online marketplaces where goods and services are exchanged and the actual money result of those transactions are stored. The reason being is that these forms of value and capital accumulation must be stored as exact information. If this information is obfuscated - it loses its value, until such a time that it is unobfuscated, where it again becomes a value.

To encrypt data is a magical process. It would be like a banker of old being able to transform currency into obfuscated pieces of worthless paper. Thus any thief would only be stealing the product of our forests and not much value at that. Today we possess this magical art of obfuscation and encryption - thus it is inevitable that capital will employ this practice to protect data, since data content not only determines the money result in the circuit of production and consumption, but the actual marketplace velocity itself.

The Encryption Wizard for Oracle offers users the ability to encrypt relational data - an emerging necessity in the networked global economy and among the governments that comprise the superstructure of this epoch in history. With the Encryption Wizard, data administrators can easily transform valuable corporate data into useless bytes of information – until such a time as they choose to re-establish the value within their data.

Try an experiment if you are not convinced. Create a small tablespace in your Oracle database and create a table containing some hypothetical valuable information. Now read the small tablespace in a text-editor. You will see how easy it is to obtain your corporate data. Imagine if someone had used a tool such as FTP to transfer your tablespace to their computer – would you be comfortable with the information they now had?

The Encryption Wizard will eliminate these real fears. Simply encrypt your valuable corporate data so anyone downloading our hypothetical tablespace will not possess your corporate value but will instead own useless information. Not employing Encryption techniques is akin to leaving money and valuable documents out in the open. Thus - the lack of encryption methodology for relational corporate data is a primary cause of the billions of dollars lost in Information Systems each year. By leaving money, credit, and valuable information unobfuscated - hacking and corporate theft is encouraged. Use the encryption techniques of the Encryption Wizard and protect the value of your corporate data at a fraction of the cost of other less-secure methods.
