Oracle Infrastructure Cloud Security benefits

Oracle believes security should be foundational and built-in, and customers shouldn’t be forced to make tradeoffs between security and cost. Oracle is focused on helping to reduce risk by providing a comprehensive set of simple, prescriptive, and integrated security capabilities that can help organizations secure their OCI tenancy. The integrated security services approach reduces the burden on customers, enabling them to focus on improving their core business.

  • Security should be simple—easy to use, deploy, and operate

  • Security tools should offer guidance to help customers achieve strong security more easily

  • Security should be integrated and automated, reducing manual security tasks and human errors

  • Cloud security should be economically attractive, improving the cost of securing cloud workloads
