Oracle Financials - security

[Mike]

Hi all,

I'm trying to decide between two books for Oracle Financials security
- there seem to be two obvious possibilities. The books are "Oracle
E-Business Suite Financials Administrations" by Iyer, S., and "Oracle
E-Business Suite Financials Handbook 2nd Edition" by James, D.

Does anyone know if either is more useful from a security point of
view?

cheers,
Mike

Hi Mike,

I have not seen either book and I am not an expert on Oracle Financial's
security so cannot comment on the value of each book from a financial's
security point of view but i do know a bit about the core database
security.

There are three book available on Oracle security, the O'Reilly book
"Oracle Security" by Theriault and Heney, the Oracle press book "Oracle
security handbook" by Theriault and Newman and finally the SANS "Oracle
security step-by-step" by Pete Finnigan. You might be also interested in
a bunch of papers on my site http://www.petefinnigan.com/orasec.htm.
There are two new books coming out soon, one on 10g security by David
Knox and Arup Nanda, Don Burleson's book on HPIIA Oracle security. There
is also Oracle's documentation of course!.

hth

kind regards

Pete
