KEYNOTE: Transforming with Oracle Cloud
Providing quick turn-a-round on creating databases for development, QA and even possibly production is a promise of DBaaS. One way to help you get there is creating a Service Catalog. Having a catalog in place can reduce the time and effort to deploy new levels of service.

DBA TRACK: Smooth 12c Upgrades
There are many paths to take to upgrade a database to 12c, but once that is over, how is database performance ensured? This discussion will cover the methods used for our recent upgrades on two 75+ TB databases (plus two ADG databases). We will discuss capturing 11g SQL metrics with SQL Tuning Sets and methods and tools for analyzing and stabilizing 12c performance.

DEVELOPER TRACK: Hands-on-lab: Intro to Oracle JET
JavaScript-based, single-page applications (SPAs) are incredibly popular these days – and for good reason. This style of application provides developers with a great deal of flexibility and control, while end users enjoy the responsiveness and speed that comes with fewer full-page reloads.
To assist developers working on SPAs, Oracle developed the JavaScript Extension Toolkit (JET). Oracle JET is a collection of open-source JavaScript libraries, combined with a set of Oracle-contributed JavaScript libraries that make it as simple and efficient as possible to build applications that consume and interact with Oracle products and services.

passion for JavaScript, Node.js, and Oracle Database via his blog at https://jsao.io.
DBA TRACK: How can I Find My Data Security Blind Spots
We need to detect our increasing issue of data security blind spots. This includes Sensitive Data that was not found in our Data Discovery across databases and files in cloud and big data. We also need to detect failures of our deployed critical security control systems. Without formal and automated processes to detect and alert to new data discovery findings and critical security control failures as soon as possible, the window of time grows that allows attackers to identify a way to compromise the systems and steal sensitive data. This can also impact our real compliance posture and compliance to PCI DSS 3.2. This session will teach how to automatically detect and report on these data security blind spots.

DEVELOPER TRACK: Oracle12c Redaction and Advanced Data Encryption for Robust IAM Regulatory Compliance
Oracle Redaction and Transparent Data Encryption are the most advanced features available in Oracle12c to guarantee optimal database security and data protection, by utilizing a combination of encryption standards and data retrieval methods and policies beyond SQL execution, which enable specialized administrators to fully condition access to private information, using encryption, row-level with either role-driven or label-driven algorithms, and data masking where appropriate and as intended through a database environment configured via supplied Oracle PL/SQL packages. This session will explain the mechanisms behind this Advance Security option and provide a few scenarios to demonstrate this
leading technology.
