Oracle announces General Availability of Oracle Cloud Guard and Oracle Maximum Security Zones

Oracle Cloud Guard and Oracle Maximum Security Zones

Oracle recently announced Oracle Cloud Guard and Oracle Maximum Security Zones as generally available.

The announcement claims that Oracle is the first public cloud provider to enforce security best practices automatically to avoid misconfiguration errors and deploy workloads securely. Oracle Maximum Security Zones helps Oracle achieve the same. 

Executive Opinion

Executive vice president, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Clay Magouyrk, said, "Security has been a critical design consideration across Oracle Cloud for years. We believe security should be foundational and built in, and customers shouldn’t be forced to make tradeoffs between security and cost. With Oracle Cloud Guard and Oracle Maximum Security Zones’ security automation and embedded expertise, customers can feel confident running their business-critical workloads on Oracle Cloud."

Program Director, IDC cybersecurity research, Jay Bretzmann, said, "As workloads transition to the cloud, organizations are looking for a supplier where security technology is designed-in throughout the complete hardware/software stack. Oracle’s new cloud security services will help automate and simplify the management of increasingly critical applications with painfully stringent security and compliance requirements that, until lately, few imagined would ever migrate off premises."

Oracle Cloud Guard is a log and events aggregator. The announcement claimed that the service integrates with compute, storage, and networking Infrastructure at Oracle cloud.

Oracle Maximum Security Zones extends IaaS access management and further helps in restricting insecure actions or configurations. The service also has a predefined set of policies for several core Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Services, including Object Storage, Networking, Encryption, DBaaS, and File Storage.

Oracle Cloud Guard and Oracle Maximum Security Zones are available without any additional cost.
