Database hardening for classic management

Security recommendations

If an NSP deployment includes classic management, Nokia recommends the following:

• Enable IP validation on each main database. IP validation restricts the components that have database access to only those required. See the NSP Installation and Upgrade Guide for more information.

• Enable Oracle database error monitoring. Oracle database errors provide monitoring information that may help with troubleshooting or the detection of security violations, such as SQL injection attacks. When database error monitoring is enabled, the NFM-P raises an alarm when the Oracle software reports an error, such as an invalid SQL statement.
