In the current cybersecurity landscape, companies are experiencing an increase in breaches due to exploiting vulnerabilities. Annual data breach reports reveal that many systems with known Critical Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) remain unpatched, despite the availability of security patches. This is a significant factor in breaches, with more than 26% attributed to delays in applying security patches.

To mitigate these security vulnerabilities, Oracle has built an OCI Vulnerability Detection service for Oracle databases. This service helps improve your security posture by offering insights into CVEs and providing specific patch recommendations.

Vulnerability Detection Overview

The Vulnerability Detection service offers continuous risk assessment for Oracle databases by identifying unpatched vulnerabilities. It provides comprehensive insights into prioritized CVEs with visual severity indications based on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) scores and color coding to identify top and most vulnerable Databases. Furthermore, you can remediate vulnerabilities by using Oracle recommended security patches.

Adopting the Vulnerability Detection service, proactive vulnerability detection, and automated remediation approach you can mitigate potential risk of data breaches, downtime, and compliance violations to ensures continuous database protection with minimal disruption.
