Oracle shifts agent controls toward data-layer security
Data-layer security is becoming more important as automated systems gain broader access to sensitive information and business processes. Controls designed for predictable applications may not be enough when agents can interact directly with enterprise data. Artificial intelligence is also accelerating the discovery of software vulnerabilities, increasing pressure on companies to patch systems and…
Oracle is shifting its focus to data-layer security as automated systems gain access to sensitive information. Traditional application controls may not be sufficient when agents interact directly with enterprise data. The company's executive vice president of Oracle Database Technologies, Juan Loaiza, spoke about the rapid discovery of software vulnerabilities by AI, emphasizing the need for up-to-date database environments.
Oracle's data-centric security strategy moves controls closer to the data, applying consistently across applications and agents. Oracle Deep Data Security enforces authorization at the row, column, and cell level, limiting access even if an application is compromised. However, data-layer security cannot eliminate all threats, so recovery planning is crucial.
Oracle's Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance helps protect database transactions in real time and supports rapid restoration. This shift toward continuous security measures reflects a new reality where the pipeline of issues never ends.
