Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) offers best-in-class security technology and operational processes to secure its enterprise cloud services. However, for customers to securely run their workloads in OCI, they must know the security and compliance responsibilities. By design, Oracle provides security of the cloud infrastructure and operations, and the customer is responsible for securely configuring their cloud resources. Security in the cloud is a shared responsibility between the customer and Oracle.

CIS OCI landing zone Quick Start

We have automated industry-standard CIS OCI Foundations Benchmark v1.1 in our CIS OCI landing zone Quick Start, which deploys a standardized environment in an OCI tenancy that helps organizations comply with the CIS OCI Foundations Benchmark. We’re happy to announce that we’ve added four of our key security partners as part of our landing zone effort. When you deploy the landing zone using the Quick Start, you can deploy solutions from Checkpoint, Cisco, Fortinet, and Palo Alto in your environment.
