CIS Oracle Database 12c V3.0 Benchmark Released

CIS has released Oracle12c Database Benchmark v3.0 in April 2020 with the following improvements:
  • Guidance was added to existing and new recommendations for multi-tenant databases
  • Many recommendations were reorganized and/or rewritten
  • Guidance was incorporated for Oracle Database 12c Release 2

The document is intended to address the recommended security settings for Oracle Database 12c. The guide was tested against Oracle Database 12c (versions 12.1.0.2 and 12.2.0.1) installed with and without pluggable database support running on a Windows Server 2012 R2 instance as a stand-alone system and running on an Oracle Linux 7 instance also as a stand-alone system. Future Oracle Database 12c critical patch updates (CPUs) may impact the recommendations included in the document.
