OCI Security
OCI Security
2. Network Security
Best Practice:
✅ Use Virtual Cloud Networks (VCNs) with private and public subnets.
✅ Implement Network Security Groups (NSGs) and Security Lists for traffic
control.
✅ Set up OCI Web Application Firewall (WAF) to protect against DDoS and
application threats.
✅ Use Private Endpoints & Service Gateway to securely connect services
without exposing them to the internet.
OCI Services:
VCN, Security Lists & NSGs
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
DDoS Protection
VPN, FastConnect for Secure Connectivity
✅ Compartments
Logical grouping of OCI resources to enforce access control.
Helps in organizing resources by project, environment (Prod/Dev), or
department.
✅ Tenancy
The top-level account in OCI that contains all resources, users, and
compartments.
✅ Dynamic Groups
Automatically assign permissions to Compute Instances or Serverless
Functions.
Example: A Compute instance can access an Object Storage bucket
securely.
✅ Federation with External Identity Providers
OCI IAM integrates with enterprise identity providers like Azure AD, Okta,
Microsoft AD, etc.
Enables Single Sign-On (SSO) for users.
✅ Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Adds an extra layer of security by requiring one-time passcodes (OTP) via
email, SMS, or authenticator apps.
Best Practices for IAM in OCI
✅ Follow the Principle of Least Privilege
Only grant permissions users need for their tasks.
Avoid giving full administrator access to everyone.
✅ Use Groups Instead of Individual User Policies
Manage permissions at the group level, not per user, for better security and
scalability.
✅ Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Prevents unauthorized access if user passwords are compromised.
✅ Use Federation for Large Enterprises
Integrate OCI IAM with Okta, Azure AD, Microsoft AD for SSO and
centralized user management.
✅ Monitor IAM Activities
Enable Audit Logs to track changes in user access and policies.
✅ Use Dynamic Groups for Secure Automation
Let compute instances and cloud functions securely access resources
without hardcoded credentials.
✅ Regularly Review and Rotate Policies
Remove unused accounts, review IAM policies, and update security settings
periodically.

2. Network Security in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)
Network security is critical to protecting client applications from unauthorized
access, data breaches, and cyber threats. OCI provides multiple layers of security to
safeguard your Virtual Cloud Network (VCN), applications, and connectivity.

✅ DDoS Protection
OCI automatically detects and mitigates large-scale Distributed Denial-
of-Service (DDoS) attacks.
Available by default for all OCI services.
🔹 Best Practice:
Use OCI WAF and Traffic Management to enhance DDoS protection.
Restrict traffic using regional edge security policies.

Security & Encryption? 🚀

3. Data Security & Encryption in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)
Data security in OCI ensures that sensitive data is protected at rest, in transit,
and during processing. OCI provides built-in encryption, key management, and
data masking to safeguard client applications.
✅ Encryption in Transit
Data transmitted over the network is encrypted using TLS 1.2/1.3.
Supports end-to-end encryption between OCI services and external
applications.
Private Endpoints & Service Gateway help keep data secure without
exposing it to the public internet.
🔹 Best Practice:
Enforce TLS 1.2+ for all client-server communications.
Use VPN/FastConnect for encrypted on-prem to cloud data transfer.
✅ Database Security
Transparent Data Encryption (TDE): Protects database files at rest.
Data Safe: Provides auditing, masking, and compliance reporting.
Database Firewall: Blocks unauthorized SQL injection attacks.
🔹 Best Practice:
Enable TDE for all Autonomous and Exadata databases.
Use Database Vault for additional access control on critical DB objects.
Configure regular database backups with encrypted storage.

4. Application & Workload Security in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)
Application & workload security ensures that compute instances, containers,
and applications running in OCI are protected from vulnerabilities, unauthorized
access, and threats. OCI provides built-in security services for runtime protection,
vulnerability management, and compliance enforcement.
Next Step
Would you like to explore setting up Cloud Guard and Security Zones, or should
we move on to Compliance & Governance Security? 🚀
You said:
move on
ChatGPT said:
5. Compliance & Governance Security in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)
Compliance & governance security ensures that client applications, data, and
infrastructure in OCI follow industry regulations, internal policies, and security
best practices. OCI provides services to audit, track changes, enforce policies,
and meet compliance requirements.
🔹 Key Components of Compliance & Governance Security in OCI
✅ OCI Audit (Track & Monitor Activities)
Captures all API calls and configuration changes in OCI.
Helps in investigating unauthorized access, misconfigurations, and
security breaches.
🔹 Best Practice:
Enable OCI Audit logging for all compartments.
Store audit logs in Object Storage with encryption for long-term
compliance.
Integrate with SIEM solutions (Splunk, Oracle Logging Analytics) for
real-time monitoring.
Next Step
