Oracle Cloud Security: Safeguarding Enterprises in the Digital Era

More and more enterprises are putting workloads, applications, and mission critical data in the cloud in today’s fast-moving digital world to accelerate innovation, reduce operational expenses, and transform the business. And while cloud computing can be advantageous, it also creates new challenges for security. Protecting sensitive data, meeting regulatory compliance, and defending against sophisticated attacks is now a necessity for all enterprises regardless of size.

At Oracle, we offer Cloud Security solutions that provide organizations with a complete set of tools, frameworks, and strategies to protect enterprise data, applications, and infrastructure, and provide resilience in a digital world. Organizations can leverage a wide set of protections, and be able to innovate, while ensuring their organization is protected from cyber risks.

Why Oracle Cloud Security is important.

Organizations are facing threats and risks in the area of cyber threats, ransomware, insider risks, misconfiguration, and regulatory compliance failure to name a few. If organizations do nothing to mitigate risk, the organization will be exposed to loss of revenue, employee and customer distrust, damage to their reputation and interruption in their business.

By implementing Oracle Cloud Security best practices, organizations can:

• Enhance their defenses against internal and external threats.
• Protect sensitive data with internal critical business assets.
• Safely build trust with customers, partners, and stakeholders.
• Adhere to applicable global regulatory standards such as: GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001.

Oracle Cloud provides one cohesive integrated security model that secures infrastructure, applications, and workloads in public, private, and hybrid cloud.

Key Aspects of Oracle Cloud Security

1. Identity and Access Management (IAM)

The capacity for an enterprise to effectively manage secure access for users via policies on IAM and the use of multi-factor authentication (MFA) and role-based access control. Only authorized users will gain access to appropriate and sensitive enterprise assets, effectively reducing the consequences of unauthorized access and some insider events.

2. Data Encryption and Protection

The data is encrypted in transit and at rest providing an additional layer of security against unauthorized access. Enterprises will have access to Oracle’s key management systems to manage encryption keys, therefore assuring the highest possible levels of data protection.

3. Compliance and Governance

Oracle Cloud will come with compliance frameworks and audit capabilities already built-in. An organization can implement a data governance policy, monitor access and even enforce rules made simple which may reduce the liability for non-compliance or regulatory violations.

4. Threat Detection and Response

Oracle Cloud Security incorporates AI-based monitoring and analytics to recognize anomalies, threats and to automate some incident-response actions. This proactive stance will aid an enterprise in terms of reducing the chance of a data breach and then subsequently furthers reduce the operational disruption when analysis results in incident.

5. Workload and Infrastructure Security

Oracle provides a degree of layered security (security of protected work load and infrastructure) for the enterprise across workload and web-based infrastructure (container, microservice protection, workload isolation) that will allow secure deployment and operation of applications.
