We actually set db_aecurefile parameter to always on all of our instances
and have only seen positive results.

Of course the setting change only applies to newly created lobs after the
setting is changed. LOBs created before have to be converted through a
move/reorganize.

Of course the tablespace has to be ASSM or you will get the respective
error.

We own advanced compression and advanced security and the deduplicte that
come with advanced compression has proven very beneficial for several of
our apps.

The Lob compression works very well and I have found medium compression on
LOBS to work well. I tried high but the CPU usage outweighed the benefit
for our needs.

As always YMMV
