Oracle bets big on ‘autonomous offering’ for security as cyber criminals embrace AI, ML

With cybercriminals using smarter and modern tools such as AI and ML to attack enterprises around the world, Oracle is betting big on its ‘autonomous offering’ where it’s making the security a default. While keeping a focus on automating the database, Oracle says its tool helps eliminate manual labour required for database tuning, security, backups, and updates.

“We’re talking about a database where security is there by default. It’s encrypted by default and critical patch sets are released in real-time without bringing down the system. In order to thwart attack from hackers, we’re making sure we provide these autonomous offering, especially because being a database company and all the critical systems running on our database, it’s our responsibility that when customers are using it, security is not a choice, it should be default,” said Akshay Aggarwal, Cloud Specialist Director- Manageability & Security, Oracle APAC, in an interview to Hindustan Times.
