EASIER PCI DSS COMPLIANCE. STRONGER DATA PROTECTION.
Oracle Transparent Data Encryption and Thales nShield HSMs.
Data at rest is data at risk.
That’s why Thales and Oracle have partnered to integrate Oracle Database 11g/11gR2 with Thales nShield Hardware Security Modules (HSMs). As a result, you can leverage Oracle Advanced Security Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) with the enhanced security and operational efficiencies that only hardware-based, centralized database key
management can deliver.
It really is an ideal combination. Use Oracle Advanced Security TDE for database encryption to secure
the most sensitive contents of both new and existing database deployments. Use Thales nShield
HSMs to provide an isolated, tamper-resistant vault for encryption keys and easily demonstrate
data and key separation – a universal security best practice that provides a significantly higher
level of security than software encryption alone. Best of all, Thales nShield HSMs will help your
organization more easily and efficiently meet PCI DSS and other compliance requirements by protecting sensitive TDE encryption keys in a scalable, FIPS certified hardware module.

The Spirit of Innovation
Oracle OpenWorld, JavaOne, and Oracle Develop showcase new products and new ideas from Oracle, its partners and customers, and technology enthusiasts.
W hen 41,000 people from 116 countries
converge on San Francisco, California, for three conferences in one, it’s clear that the spirit of innovation in technology is alive and well. From September 19 through
23, 2010, Oracle OpenWorld, JavaOne, and Oracle Develop ran concurrently and offered attendees a look at the latest products and services from Oracle, its partners, and the technology community in general. Attendees chose from more than 1,800 sessions, 400 partner exhibits, and hundreds of live demos, plus keynotes from industry luminaries.
Oracle executives showcased a range of hardware and software products engineered to work together. Notable product releases included Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud, Oracle’s Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel, Oracle Fusion Applications, Oracle’s Exadata Database Machine X2-8, SPARC T3 processor and SPARC T3 systems, and Oracle Solaris Express 11. Oracle also laid out a roadmap for Java in the enterprise, on desktops, in mobile technologies, and in Web browsers.
Between keynotes, sessions, and exhibits, attendees took advantage of numerous opportunities to network and unwind. The Welcome Reception and OTN Night got the week off to a great start, and at the attendee-
