A lot of overseas companies, though, are also going through
Sarbanes-Oxley compliance exercises, in case they want to accept
investment from or merge with a US company. That's the sort of thing
that can really screw up/delay an M&A event, depending on the auditors
of the US company. In fact, many startups are even going through the
effort of making sure they are at least well positioned to pass a
Sarbanes-Oxley audit in case they are acquired by a US public company.

Sarbanes-Oxley applies to all publicly held American or quoted in
America companies. Not to say that it should be ignored but it is not
mandatory for everyone on this list

>>Would a dba be concerned about remote vulnerabilities for databases
that support only connections from application servers that are secured?
Probably not.
I hope DBA's aren't using that argument. Sarbanes-Oxley applies to all
publicly held companies. And the rules are just as concerned with
internal security as external security. There very few oracle databases
that you cannot connect to at all via sqlnet.
