Oracle 1Z0-116 Exam Content Outline
Security Overview and Assessment
Identify security risks and compliance drivers, recognise common database attack points, apply the Maximum Security Architecture, and use the Database Security Assessment Tool (DBSAT) and timely patching to reduce risk.
User and Authentication Management
Create and manage users and profiles, enforce password complexity and lifecycle with profiles and verification functions, and configure OS, Kerberos, PKI/certificate, centrally managed users and enterprise user security.
Authorization, Roles and VPD
Grant system and object privileges, design roles and secure application roles, implement fine-grained access control with Virtual Private Database (VPD), and use application contexts, USERENV and client identifiers for least privilege.
Oracle Database Vault
Protect sensitive data from highly privileged users using realms, command rules, rule sets, factors and separation of duties so that SYSDBA-level access alone cannot read or change protected objects.
Auditing
Configure unified auditing and audit policies, use predefined policies, implement fine-grained auditing (FGA), manage and purge the unified audit trail, and enrich audit records with context information.
Encryption and Network Security
Implement Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) for columns and tablespaces, manage software keystores and the TDE master key, integrate Oracle Key Vault, and enable native network encryption and integrity for SQL*Net traffic.
Data Redaction and Data Masking
Create Oracle Data Redaction policies using full, partial, random and regular-expression redaction at query time, and use Data Masking and Subsetting to protect sensitive data in non-production environments.

The published passing score is about 59%. Oracle sets and may revise passing scores per exam, so confirm the current value on the official Oracle Database Security Administration exam page before you sit it.
Which Oracle Database versions does 1Z0-116 cover?
The exam is validated against Oracle Database 12c and 19c. Most candidates prepare on a 19c environment, which is the long-term support release for these security features.

It covers security assessment, user and authentication management, authorization and Virtual Private Database, Oracle Database Vault, unified and fine-grained auditing, Transparent Data Encryption and network encryption, and Oracle Data Redaction and Data Masking.
Is traditional auditing or unified auditing tested?
Unified auditing is the focus of the exam. From Oracle Database 12c onward, unified auditing consolidates audit records into a single read-only trail and uses audit policies created with CREATE AUDIT POLICY rather than AUDIT_TRAIL parameters alone.
Are these official Oracle exam questions?
No. These are original OpenExamPrep practice questions written to the published 1Z0-116 objectives. Oracle does not release live exam items; use these alongside the Oracle Database Security Guide and hands-on labs.
