About Robert Morris University

Pittsburgh 19215000 | 15:1Students from nearly

every state and 40 countries from Brazil to Vietnam.

93 percent of our graduates get jobs in their field within six months of graduation

D-1 SportsThe "Financier of the American Revolution." He isn’t as famous as his friend George Washington, but without Robert Morris, the American colonies’ bold attempt to throw off British rule never could have succeeded.

IT Sec at RMU

The mission of RMU's Information Security team is to deliver an information security program that helps to safeguard the University's information and assets while maintaining an open educational environment that is compliant with regulatory standards.

To accomplish this mission, the Information Security team has many goals including assess current policies and procedures, develop new policies to protect University resources, assist in establishing and strengthening technical baselines to protect university technical assets, react to incidents that endanger the Institute's information, proactively assess and monitor for possible security weaknesses, and educate the University community about relevant security threats.

Where We Were

We were in pretty bad shape……Oracle 8.1Poor patch cyclesToo much access to way too many peopleNo web input sanitization

Very open…………Very Vulnerable

Layered Security Approach

Layer #1 – Proactive Software Assurance Applications: Web/Database

Layer #2 - Blocking Attacks: Network-Based Firewalls, Email Filtering

Layer #3 - Blocking Attacks: Host-Based Antivirus, Secure Configurations

Layer #4 - Eliminating Security Vulnerabilities Scanning, Patch Management

Layer #5 - Safely Supporting Authorized Users Encryption , Data Leak Prevention

Layer #6 - Tools to Manage Security & Maximize Effectiveness Training, Organizational Memberships and Awareness

***Diversity is amongst ALL layers***

Where We Are

Moving to Oracle Database 11g on 64-bit Enterprise Linux

Where We Are

Oracle Adv. Security provides us with Network Encryption

Encryption of data in motion

Transparent Data Encryption (TDE)

Encryption of data at rest Tablespace TDE

Strong authentication (certificate-based authentication)

Where We Are

At-rest data encryption feature only in Oracle Database 11g

Based on block level encryption that encrypts on writes and decrypts on reads

Data is encrypted/decrypted at the I/O (block) level and not in memory (unlike TDE column encryption, which performs the encryption in the PGA of the server process)

Only encryption penalty is associated with I/O, so encryption performance overall is better than for TDE column encryption

SQL access paths are unchanged and all data types are supported (could be some I/O penalty assigned by the CBO, however)

How Did We Get There?

Week 1, 2 days: SSCP kickoff meeting : Overview of network encryption and TDE Identified application data to be encrypted Ran healthcheck script in upgrade environment Create initial draft of TDE tablespace encryption functional use cases

Week 2, 2 days: Deployed TDE tablespace encryption in upgrade environment Performed use case testing of TDE tablespace encryption

Week 3, 4 days: Complete deployment of TDE tablespace encryption Deploy network encryption in upgrade environment Perform use case testing of network encryption Knowledge transfer sessions

Performance Testing

The approach taken for each four test queries was to take event 10046 level 12 SQL traces within SQL Plus using the procedure DBMS_SYSTEM.SET_EV, followed by running each generated tracefile through TKPROF.

The level 12 SQL traces were performed in each of the three test configurations.

The applications team identified a set of five core test application queries that would be tested and performance compared across the configurations: student registration via

Patriot client checksheet batch

processing IRSE load processing nightly processing catalog course search
