Oracle бесплатно предоставляет инструмент централизованного контроля безопасности баз данных до 2027 года

The company is looking to address security threats posed by AI models. Oracle has released a security tool intended to provide organizations with a centralized view of security risk across their database environments. Oracle Database Security Central will be available free of charge until the end of February 2027. It arrives at a critical time for Oracle customers, with attackers targeting security flaws to exploit the company’s database products. Oracle is also concerned about the threat posted by the launch of bug-hunting AI model Mythos. In May it responded by accelerating its patching schedule, switching to monthly releases rather than quarterly. The first monthly batch fixed 35 flaws. Oracle said Security Central will enable security teams to assess security posture, detect configuration drift, as well as identifying privileged-user and access risks. It will also keep an eye on sensitive data and analyze how it is being accessed, and collect audit evidence accordingly. Finally, it will manage security policies centrally to ensure that policy variance is not putting the company at risk. This article first appeared on InfoWorld.
