We’re happy to announce the Center for Internet Security (CIS) has published the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Foundations Benchmark, a set of step-by-step security configuration best practices for Oracle Cloud.

Benefits

CIS Benchmarks are technical industry best practices. They remove implementation guesswork for security professionals about foundational security measures in your Oracle Cloud tenancy. The prescribed best practices make implementation of core Oracle Cloud security measures straightforward for security teams and tenancy administrators.

Audit teams can now evaluate the security of an Oracle Cloud tenancy. The best practices reduce complexity and enable these teams to better manage risk and audit the use of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for critical, audited, and regulated information systems.

You can integrate these security checks into the broader security and audit ecosystem. CIS Benchmarks are incorporated into products developed by security vendors and referenced by compliance frameworks, such as PCI DSS and FedRAMP.

For over 20 years, CIS Benchmarks have been the standard for prescriptive industry best practices to securely configure traditional IT systems. The release of the CIS Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Foundations Benchmark marks an Oracle Cloud milestone demonstrating its suitability for sensitive and regulated workloads.

The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Foundations Benchmark is divided into the following sections:

  • Networking

  • Identity and Access Management

  • Logging and Monitoring
