NextLabs® Releases Data Access Enforcer for Oracle ERP
Extending NextLabs’ expertise in securing business processes to Oracle ERP product lines
San Mateo, Calif. – February 5, 2024 – NextLabs today announced the release of Data Access Enforcer for Oracle ERP (DAE for Oracle ERP), bringing the dynamic enforcement of NextLabs Zero Trust Data-Centric security policies to both Oracle EBS and Oracle Fusion ERP product lines. DAE helps Oracle ERP users control access to their business process data through attribute-driven policies that are dynamically enforced at runtime, allowing those policies to be applied regardless of how the data is being accessed in a way that is seamless and transparent for ERP users.
Some of the notable capabilities of DAE are field-level dynamic data masking and record level data filtering, regardless of where the data is being accessed. Both features ensure only those with authorization can view the fields and/or records they have been granted access to. Policies are evaluated and enforced at the data access layer, so that they are consistently enforced anywhere and everywhere data is accessed in the ERP system. This policy enforcement is transparent to the end user, who does not have to change the way they use the ERP solution. All of DAE’s policies are powered by NextLabs’ attribute-based policy engine, which controls access to data based on attributes of the data being accessed, the context of the request, and user identity. Policies are business process aware and are evaluated in real-time to segregate and/or mask protected data based on the current value of those attributes. These policies are centrally managed with activity logs that can be audited across all organization’s applications to simplify administration. This release of DAE for Oracle ERP brings these key strengths to users of the Oracle EBS and Oracle Fusion platforms.
This release of DAE for Oracle ERP brings DAE functionality to Oracle Fusion and all the applications in the Oracle E-Business Suite, including:
- Order Management
- Logistics
- Procurement
- Projects
- Manufacturing
- Asset Lifecycle Management
- Service
- Financials
- Human Capital Management
Key functionality in DAE for Oracle ERP includes:
- Real-time enforcement of attribute-based access policies
- Field-level data masking
- Record-level data segregation and filtering
- Granular enforcement of DML actions
- Centrally managed policies
- Centralized monitoring and auditing
- Out of the box integration, including data models specific to Oracle EBS and Oracle Fusion
When implementing data access security policies across applications, organizations face the challenge of implementing the protection independent of UI and application without breaking the applications. With DAE for Oracle ERP, NextLabs addresses this challenge by evaluating and enforcing data access policies at the data access layer. When combined with DAE’s centrally managed policies that determine who, what, when, where, and how, to mask field(s) and filter record(s) based on attributes in real-time, organizations can prevent unauthorized access, protect data, and address compliance requirements all with a single solution. DAE’s out–of–the–box (OOTB) support for Oracle ERP applications and Oracle databases enables this to be implemented with minimal impact to the existing systems and operations, and no changes required by the end user.
The release complements NextLabs’ existing suite of DAE products, which include:
- DAE for SAP ERP (ECC and S/4HANA)
- DAE for SAP HANA
- DAE for Windows
- DAE for Linux
- DAE for Oracle
- DAE for Microsoft SQL Server and Azure SQL
- DAE for PostgreSQL
- DAE for Google BigQuery
DAE’s container-based architecture and OOTB integrations offer seamless user experience, without customization and changing the way application is used; providing fast time to value and ease of deployment. Advantages of NextLabs DAE for Oracle ERP include:
- Native integration with Oracle EBS and Oracle Fusion platforms to offer a wide range of data access coverage – making DAE the quickest to deploy and easiest to use data protection and data privacy solution for Oracle ERP deployments.
- Support for field-level dynamic data masking and encryption, record-level filtering and segregation, and attribute-based access control of database operations all within a single product.
- Built on the Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) and powered by an industry leading dynamic authorization and attribute-based Policy Engine to enforce policies in real-time without custom code – significantly lower cost of management and rapid time to value to offer enterprises ability to keep up with the rapidly evolving data security needs.
- Policy enforcement independent of App, UI, API, microservice, batch job, ad-hoc query, and report. DAE is the only solution with seamless support for debug mode and direct table access.
- Tracking and storing user activities and data access across applications in a central audit server, simplifying compliance management. Analytics for user behavior and access patterns are provided via dashboards, reports, and automated monitoring facilities.
