Automating SOD Detection using Sentri Advanced Access Controls Cloud Service

Understanding Oracle Advanced Access Controls

Any business application needs to carry out numerous functions and department-specific activities. When the activities are not monitored well, there is a high probability of fraud, errors and mismanagement. This can lead to data breaches, hacking, financial loss and loss of brand name and reputation.

Oracle Advanced Access Controls (AAC) regulates the activities of business applications. It helps to implement security models and controls and enforce segregation of duties in various applications. Each security model defines roles and privileges which help to set access permissions for a user based on his or her job role.

Advanced Access Controls are known to enable risk management. It enables the user to carry out risk transactions by defining the risk-logic of a control. This also allows audits to assess the risk situation in a system during audits. A well-defined security control is capable of identifying the SOD violations within a system. The violations that are yet to be resolved are stored in a record, known as an incident. Result investigators are responsible for resolving the incidents.
