Oracle Data Safe enhances database security across various Oracle environments. The false

statement is:

Oracle Data Safe only supports Autonomous Database (D): This is incorrect. Oracle Data Safe supports

a wide range of Oracle databases, not just Autonomous Database. It works with Autonomous

Database (shared and dedicated), Oracle Database Cloud Service (VM and Bare Metal), Exadata DB

Systems, on-premises Oracle Databases, and Oracle Database on OCI Compute. For example, a DBA

could use Data Safe to mask sensitive data in an on-premises 19c database or assess security in an

Exadata Cloud@Customer deployment, not just ADB. This broad compatibility makes it a unified

security tool across Oracle’s ecosystem.

The true statements are:

Oracle Data Safe helps you find sensitive data in your database by inspecting the actual data in your

database and its data dictionary (A): Data Safe’s Data Discovery feature scans tables and metadata to

identify sensitive columns (e.g., SSNs, credit card numbers), using predefined and custom patterns.

Oracle Data Safe helps you assess the security of your cloud database configurations by analyzing

database configurations (B): The Security Assessment feature evaluates settings like encryption,

auditing, and privileges, providing risk scores and recommendations.

Oracle Data Safe evaluates user types, how users are authenticated, and the password policies

assigned to each user (C): User Assessment analyzes user accounts, authentication methods (e.g.,

password, SSO), and policies, highlighting risks like weak passwords.

The misconception in D limits Data Safe’s scope, which extends beyond ADB to all supported Oracle

databases.
