Oracle Label Security Licensing
- Extra Cost Option: For Oracle Database Enterprise Edition (EE) and EE-Exadata.
- In: Oracle Database PE, DBCS EE-HP, DBCS EE-EP, ExaCS/CC.
- License Match: Must align with Oracle Database EE’s metric and quantity.
- Costs:
- Named User Plus: $460 per user.
- Processor: $23,000 per processor.
Example Calculation
- Processor-Based: 6 processors for Oracle Database EE = 6 processor licenses for Oracle Label Security = 6 x $23,000 = $138,000.
- Named User Plus: 100 named users for Oracle Database EE = 100 NUP licenses for Oracle Label Security = 100 x $460 = $46,000.
Key Features of Oracle Label Security
Oracle Label Security offers many features that help fortify your data’s security. These include:
- Label-Based Access Control (LBAC): This feature enables high control over who can access data based on defined labels, ensuring sensitive data is accessed only by authorized users.
- Multi-Level Security (MLS): MLS allows data with different security levels to reside in the same database while preventing unauthorized access.
- Label Factors for Oracle Database Vault: Oracle Label Security provides label factors like ‘Confidential’ and ‘Sensitive’ to enhance the security mechanisms of Oracle Database Vault.
- User Label Authorizations: Users can be assigned labels like ‘Confidential’ and ‘Sensitive: PII’, determining what level of data they can access.
- Data Labels: Data can be tagged with labels like ‘Sensitive: PII’ to categorize it based on sensitivity levels.
Oracle Label Security also includes a restricted use license for specific Oracle Enterprise Manager features, namely, Application Data Models (previously called Data Discovery and Modeling) and Oracle Database Vault.
