Abstract

Advanced persistent threats (APTs) have become a big problem for computer systems. Databases are vulnerable to these threats and can give attackers access to an organizations sensitive data. Oracle databases are at greater risk due to their heavy use as back-ends to corporate applications such as enterprise resource planning software. This paper will describe a methodology for finding APTs that may be hiding or operating deep within an Oracle database system. Using a deep understanding of Oracle normal operations provides a baseline to assist in discovering APT behavior. Incorporating these into a database intrusion detection system can raise the ability for finding these threats.
