Agentic AI is forcing organizations to rethink what “mission-critical” really means.
As AI agents consume more enterprise data and operate across more business processes, organizations face growing pressure to deliver continuous availability while defending against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. Legacy databases and security architectures simply weren’t built for a world where thousands of autonomous agents may be accessing sensitive information simultaneously.
Bob Evans explores how Oracle AI Database 26ai addresses these new demands through enhanced availability, rapid disaster recovery, and database-native security. He examines Oracle’s latest advances in failover, ransomware protection, post-quantum cryptography, and AI-aware data security, along with the broader shift toward infrastructure built specifically for the Agentic Era.
