About This Workshop
In this lab, you'll explore Privilege Analysis, a powerful Oracle Database Enterprise Edition feature introduced in 12c. It helps identify and eliminate unused privileges, reducing risk and tightening security.

Excessive privileges are a common attack vector. Privilege Analysis goes beyond traditional audits by showing which privileges are actually used, helping you cut unnecessary access and shrink your attack surface.

Through hands-on exercises, you'll learn to generate actionable reports, refine privilege assignments, and strengthen your database security posture.
