Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) enables users to build and run a wide range of applications securely. OCI uses an autonomous database that is self-repairing among other benefits like high performance, robust security and efficiency. Other benefits of OCI are – it is cost-effective, easier to migrate to and provides the best support for private as well as hybrid architectures apart from the public cloud infrastructures. So it is no surprise that more and more enterprises are shifting to OCI from their traditional systems.

Like any data migration, the Oracle Cloud implementation requires certain basic security aspects to be taken care of:

• Using the updated or latest version of the software.
• Limiting or reviewing user privileges from time to time.
• Monitoring system accessibility.
• Using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure security features.
• Using best security practices.
• Keeping updated about various security-related updates and alerts.

Some other important Key security aspects specific to Oracle Cloud Implementation are as follows:

• Security-First: Oracle Cloud Infrastructure comes with security-first design principles that include isolated network virtualization and pristine physical host deployment, which provide superior customer isolation compared to earlier public cloud designs and reduced risk from advanced persistent threats.
• Customer Isolation: Customers are given the freedom to work and deploy their application in an environment that is fully isolated from other Oracle’s staff.
• Data Encryption: Data at rest and during transit is protected in such a way that it meets customer’s security and compliance requirements.
• Security controls: Good, easy- to-use and effective security management systems for the customers that protects them from malicious or accidental user actions.
• Visibility: Offering highly secure data and analytics to the customers that enables them to meet their audit requirements and reduce operational risks.
• Secure Hybrid Cloud: Enables customers to use their existing accounts and policies when accessing the cloud resources and securing the data on the cloud.
• High availability: High availability architectures that protect from network attacks and security breaches.
• Verifiability Secure Infrastructure: Oracle follows high standard security controls during all phases of cloud service deployment.

During implementation, all aspects with respect to customer data and source code are protected. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure follows a security model which deals with infrastructure security, security of designs and controls, secured software deployment, personnel security, physical security, security of operations, data privacy, data rights and ownership.

Takeaway

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure has many benefits that help all types of businesses in their digital transformation. With Oracle’s strong security policies, customers don’t have to worry about their data security, loss of data etc. It helps in easy data migration and takes care of all key security aspects without a doubt.
