One of the most significant resources in contemporary business is data. Organizations rely on this data for crucial tasks like analytics and transaction processing as it continues to expand tremendously. Data may be an organization’s most valuable asset, but that same data is a liability without adequate protection.
It means that managing cyber risk and adequately protecting sensitive data are probably vital security priorities for any firm. Through the development and delivery of all of its core technology products based on three strategic pillars—automated security, always on, and architected in—Oracle security services and features assist enterprises in operating securely and confidently.
With Oracle, security is built in from the ground up to give full-stack protection, automate threat responses, and assure seamless, always-on protection. Customers must set these features and services to achieve their security and compliance goals.
Oracle recently demonstrated at Oracle CloudWorld how it continuously automates a defence-in-depth approach for its cloud-based applications. Let’s take a look!
Oracle Application Cloud Security – What does it mean?
The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is a cutting-edge public cloud that has been designed with layers of protection to help safeguard enterprises’ most sensitive and priceless data. Organizations might reduce errors and improve resource management by addressing the cybersecurity skills deficit head-on and implementing cloud solutions that require no human interaction.
Companies worldwide are starting to realize the benefits of moving to the cloud. As technology advances rapidly, the conventional methods of managing discrete business applications and routinely updating customized on-premises infrastructure may no longer be adequate.
Organizations must elevate their operations with complete integration using cloud-oriented enterprise software, like Oracle Cloud Apps to sustain with change & prepare for the future. Oracle Cloud Application Security is built with a secure isolation architecture & offers numerous advantages, including the centralization of global access controls & the 24/7 accessibility of Oracle dedicated security managers & cloud experts who provide proactive service monitoring & protection.
Highly customized on-premises systems cannot change to meet the organization’s changing needs. Enterprises can use advancing technologies thanks to Oracle Cloud Applications security.
What are the Foundations of Oracle Cloud Security Services?
The SaaS Cloud Security (SCS) platform, which is built on top of and connected with the cutting-edge Oracle Cloud platform, leverages the Automated SaaS Cloud Security Services (ASCSS) infrastructure to engineer and automate its security infrastructure.
Let’s delve deeper into each of the fundamental components that underpin The Oracle applications and services:
- Next-Generation Security Tools and Controls: To assist decrease risks across the SaaS architecture, the ASCSS infrastructure incorporates new security technology, tools, and features. Oracle implement security at the stack level from the beginning of its development.
- Machine Learning/AI-Based Automated Detections: For automated log correlation & quick resolutions, Oracle has integrated ML and AI-based analysis with Oracle’s internal Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) architecture. With its state-of-the-art ML-based technology, it can recognize and anticipate attack patterns to assist or defend against any impending attacks & act swiftly.
- Continuous Monitoring: The Oracle global support strategy helps to guarantee that the clients receive the proper support whenever they require it. Oracle works around the clock in all contexts and areas to assist customers in meeting their needs and following the law. For the proactive detection and correlation of suspicious events as well as configuration and deployment information, Oracle continuously automates scanning, analysis, and event correlation from all sources.
- Oracle Software Security Assurance (OSSA): Oracle created the OSSA process and concept and upholds it, helping to guarantee that security is integrated into every stage of the development lifecycle. It uses standards-setting secure coding techniques, ongoing training for staff members, and ethical hacking procedures that are upheld throughout the development process.
- End-to-End Stack Control: Oracle can provide complete control over the network components, database, middleware, hardware, firmware, hypervisor, operating system, and applications, giving its customers distinct protection, integration, and efficiency advantage.
