AI is changing the cybersecurity landscape. As the time required to discover and exploit vulnerabilities shrinks, organizations need to reduce the time between identifying risk, validating change, and deploying protection across their database estates. For Oracle Database, Exadata, and Enterprise Manager environments, this means treating security and lifecycle management as an ongoing operational discipline not a one-time patching event. Keeping systems current, hardening the management platform, validating changes with representative workloads, maintaining configuration consistency, and continuously assessing compliance all work together to strengthen security posture and operational confidence.

Join Oracle Product Management for the Observability Insights summer series. Across three expert-led sessions, learn practical ways to use Oracle Enterprise Manager’s integrated management and observability capabilities to automate critical operations, improve visibility, and reduce risk at scale.

Oracle Enterprise Manager provides a secure control plane for monitoring, managing, patching, configuring, and governing Oracle environments. With integrated capabilities for Database Lifecycle Management, Exadata Management, Real Application Testing, and compliance assessment, teams can move away from manual, inconsistent maintenance processes and toward repeatable, fleet-wide workflows.

Why attend?

In this series, you will learn how to:

  • Accelerate adoption of recommended Oracle Database and Exadata updates.
  • Reduce manual patching effort and maintain consistent, standardized configurations.
  • Secure and harden the Enterprise Manager platform that manages your estate.
  • Validate patches and upgrades against real production workloads before rollout.
  • Strengthen compliance using certified CIS Benchmarks and DoD STIG standards.

De-risk Database Patching and Upgrades with Real Workload Validation

Database patching and upgrades are essential for security, performance, and supportability, but organizations often delay them due to concerns about application stability. Oracle Real Application Testing helps eliminate this uncertainty by capturing production workloads and replaying them in a test environment before deployment. By validating application behavior under real-world conditions, administrators can identify SQL performance regressions, workload changes, and application response issues before they impact production. Join this session to learn how Real Application Testing enables organizations to adopt patches and upgrades with confidence while minimizing operational risk and reducing downtime.
