Oracle boosts cloud security in an effort to set itself apart from rivals>
Silicon Angle – Paul Gillin
In a bid to distinguish itself from other cloud platform providers through a focus on security, Oracle Corp. today is broadening the range of built-in and add-on cybersecurity features in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

The company cited the results of a survey it co-sponsored KPMG LLP last year that found that 78% of organizations use more than 50 discrete cybersecurity products. Oracle said the new features are intended not only to simplify management but also to address the problem misconfiguration and user error that Gartner Inc. has asserted will be responsible for more than 99% of cloud breaches over the next four years.

The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Web Application Firewall for Flexible Load Balancers helps protect web applications from malicious internet traffic. The new Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Vulnerability Scanning Service helps cloud customers identify and address risks from unpatched vulnerabilities and open ports by assessing and monitoring cloud hosts. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Bastion provides restricted and time-limited secure access to resources that donât have public endpoints and require strict resource access controls. Finally, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Certificates is a new cloud certificate service based on the International Telecommunications Unionâs X. 509 standard.
