Reporting on location from Oracle CloudWorld, Kieron Allen reviews an announcement from Oracle to boost cloud security efforts.
Highlights
00:08 — At the conference, Oracle announced the availability of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Zero Trust Pack Routing (ZPR). With this service being built into OCI, it effectively separates network configuration from network security.
00:24 — The ultimate aim of the technology is to boost cloud security by making it impossible to ban actors to gain unauthorized access by exploiting network configurations. This announcement makes OCI the first cloud provider to implement ZPR while developing security procedures for the cloud.

00:49 — Most organizations deliver offerings that address security and network configurations simultaneously, meaning mistakes made anywhere along the pipeline could have a wider ecosystem impact and risk exposure.
01:06 — Oracle’s solution aims to determine a clear divide between network security and network architecture so companies can run specific security policies at the network layer.
01:27 — This announcement serves as a reminder of three things:
- While Oracle and its competitors are forging ahead in the AI space, there are always other areas that require attention.
- It’s a reminder of the breadth of the Oracle ecosystem, as it touches every element of the cloud.
- It’s a strong indicator that Oracle continues to have an outside perspective on little things that make a big impact.
