“Using Oracle Database Vault
allows us to focus on the real
product changes that we have
to make and not tie up our time
trying to retrofit security.”
—Akash Gharu, Head of Business Data Services, CMC Markets
news updates. It provides a
complete institutional trading
environment for investors
to manage their own list of
investment opportunities, for
both long-term investors as well
as day traders. Although it’s
relatively young (only 20 years
old), CMC Markets has become
one of the leading internet-based investment services organizations in
the U. K., Germany, and Australia.
CMC Markets is currently poised to launch a complete revamp
of its current trading technology, which company leaders expect
will revolutionize the retail trading experience. A significant
portion of this new technology is underpinned by state-of-the-art
Oracle products.
“We have a responsibility to protect our customers’ data from
external and internal threats,” says Gharu. “And the first step is to
protect the databases where this data is stored.” When it came to
securing its database, one of the most critical requirements for CMC
Markets was being able to meet regulatory requirements easily in a
timely and cost-effective manner
without having to go back and
re-engineer its applications.
Fortunately, CMC Markets was
able to meet these challenges by
using Oracle Database Vault and
Oracle Audit Vault.
By using Oracle Database Vault, CMC Markets implemented all the hardened security for Oracle E-Business Suite within a week, says Akash Gharu, head of business
data services. “It really shortened the time it would have taken us to deploy high-strength security for our projects,” he says.
