Oracle Business-Critical Cloud Adoption Growing yet Security Gaps Persist, Report Says


Press Release 

Oracle and KPMG study finds that confusion over cloud security responsibilities, lack of visibility and shadow IT complicate corporate security 

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif. and NEW YORK—Feb 20, 2019 

Companies continue to move business critical workloads and their most sensitive data to the cloud, yet security challenges remain, according to the second annual Oracle and KPMG Cloud Threat Report 2019 released today. The report found that 72 percent of respondents feel the public cloud is more secure than what they can deliver in their own data center and are moving data to the cloud, but visibility gaps remain that can make it hard for businesses to understand where and how their critical data is handled in the cloud. 

The survey also found a projected 3.5 times increase in the number of organizations with more than half of their data in the cloud from 2018 to 2020, and 71 percent of organizations indicated that a majority of this cloud data is sensitive, up from 50 percent last year. However, the vast majority (92 percent) noted they are concerned about employees following cloud policies designed to protect this data. 

The report found that the mission-critical nature of cloud services has made cloud security a strategic imperative. Cloud services are no longer nice-to-have tertiary elements of IT—they serve core functions essential to all aspects of business operations. The 2019 report identified several key areas where the use of cloud service can present security challenges for many organizations. 

· Confusion about the shared responsibility security model has resulted in cybersecurity incidents. Eighty-two percent of cloud users have experienced security events due to confusion over the shared responsibility model. While 91 percent have formal methodologies for cloud usage, 71 percent are confident these policies are being violated by employees, leading to instances of malware and data compromise. 

· CISOs are too often on the cloud security sidelines. Ninety percent of CISOs surveyed are confused about their role in securing a Software as a Service (SaaS) versus the cloud service provider environment. 

· Visibility remains the top security challenge. The top security challenge identified in the survey is detecting and reacting to security incidents in the cloud, with 38 percent of respondents naming it as their top challenge today. Thirty percent cited the inability of existing network security controls to provide visibility into cloud-resident server workloads as a security challenge. 

· Rogue cloud application use and lack of security controls put data at risk. Ninety-three percent of respondents indicated they are still dealing with “shadow IT”—in which employees use unsanctioned personal devices and storage or file share software for corporate data. Half of organizations cited lack of security controls and misconfigurations as common reasons for fraud and data exposures. Twenty-six percent of organizations cited unauthorized use of cloud services as their biggest cybersecurity challenge today. 



“The world’s most important workloads are moving to the cloud, heightening the need for a coordinated, integrated and layered security strategy,” said Kyle York, vice president of product strategy, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. “Starting with a cloud platform built for security and applying AI to safeguard data while also removing the burden of administrative tasks and patching removes complexity and helps organizations safeguard their most critical asset—their data.” 

“As organizations continue to transition their cyber security thinking from strictly risk management to more of a focus on business innovation and growth, it is important that enterprise leaders align their business and cyber security strategies,” said Tony Buffomante, U.S. Leader of KPMG LLP’s Cyber Security Services. “With cloud services becoming an integral part of business operations, there is an intensified need to improve the security of the cloud and to integrate cloud security into the organization’s broader strategic risk mitigation plans.” 
Additional Key Findings 

· Automation may improve chronic patching problems: Fifty-one percent surveyed report patching has delayed IT projects and 89 percent of organizations want to employ an automatic patching strategy. 

· Machine learning may help decrease threats: Fifty-three percent are using machine learning to decrease overall cyber security threats, while 48 percent are using a Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) solution to automatically trigger a second factor of authentication upon detecting anomalous user behavior. 

· Supply chain risk: Business-critical services must be contained as supply chain compromise has led to the introduction of malware in 49 percent of cases, followed by unauthorized access of data in 46 percent of cases. 

· Security events continue to increase while shared responsibility confusion expands: Only 1 in 10 organizations can analyze more than 75 percent of their security event data and 82 percent of cloud users have experienced security events due to confusion over cloud shared responsibility models. 

· Cloud adoption has expanded the core-to-edge threat model: An increasingly mobile workforce accessing both on premise and cloud-delivered applications and data dramatically complicates how cybersecurity professionals must think about their risk and exposure. In 2018, the number one area of investment was training, but this year, training slipped to number two and was replaced by edge-based security controls (e.g., WAF, CASB, Botnet/DDoS Mitigation controls).

Oracle Survey Finds Enterprises Ready for Benefits of 5G


Press Release 
 
Nearly 80 percent of Companies Expect to Deploy Basic Connectivity Solutions by 2021 to Spawn New Revenue Opportunities and Tap Advantages of IoT and Smart Ecosystems

Redwood Shores, Calif.—Feb 21, 2019

While much of the discussion around 5G has centered on consumer devices, enterprises are looking towards the tremendous impact the technology can have on their ability to serve customers and the bottom line. Not only are most companies (97 percent) aware of the benefits of 5G, but 95 percent are already strategically planning how they will take advantage of this next generation of wireless connectivity to power core business initiatives from new services, to IoT and smart ecosystems.

The Oracle Communications study, “5G Smart Ecosystems Are Transforming the Enterprise – Are You Ready?,” surveyed 265 enterprise IT and business decision makers at medium and large enterprises globally in December, 2018 to find out how businesses are thinking about 5G today and its potential significance moving forward.

“Enterprises clearly want to capitalize on the promise of 5G, however, to be successful, IT and business leaders must avoid thinking of 5G as just another ‘G,’ and should instead consider it as an enabler to the smart ecosystem we have long talked about,” said Doug Suriano, senior vice president and general manager, Oracle Communications. “This means asking the right questions at the outset, and considering how 5G can help enable upcoming solutions, what timeframe should be considered and how will they will procure and use 5G capabilities as part of their business evolution.”

Born in the cloud, 5G will have the ability to enable enterprises to provision or “slice” core pieces of their networks to power mission-critical new offerings and smart ecosystems. This can range from anything to providing the highest speed connections for life-saving 911 services, to enabling autonomous vehicles to communicate with each other quickly; to ensuring IoT devices in smart factories are providing real-time information on the health of machines and assets.

Outside specific initiatives, respondents believe 5G will have a wide-spread impact across their business, including increasing employee productivity (86 percent), reducing costs (84 percent), enhancing customer experience (83 percent), and improving agility (83 percent). Business decision makers are most focused on quality of experience the technology will bring, while IT is concerned with network speed and resiliency.
Unleashing the Promise of 5G Ecosystems in the Enterprise

When it comes to 5G, enterprise are most focused on:
· Unlocking the potential of IoT: Beyond initial benefits such as speed and quality of experience, 84 percent of respondents feel that 5G networks will be transformative and have a lasting impact on the way their companies do business. Another 73 percent agree the IoT will be revolutionized by 5G networks and 68 percent feel it will be transformative to their customers.
· Monetizing new services: Eighty-percent expect 5G to generate new revenue streams for their business. Forty-one percent of the respondents would deploy new monetization solutions specifically for 5G services alongside existing systems, while thirty-four percent say they would replace their existing systems with a single, converged solution for all services. Just about one in five (22 percent) said they will utilize and extend existing monetization solutions with 5G.
· Experience and efficiencies: Eighty-four percent of respondents agree that 5G networks will be transformative and have a lasting impact on the way their companies do business. While business respondents are focused on the quality of experience improvements made possible by 5G, IT respondents care more about the network technologies and the internal efficiencies 5G may enable.
· Security: While excited about the potential of 5G, both business and IT respondents cited security as a top priority. 51% of respondents ranked security as their highest concern. 
Oracle’s survey also explored 5G’s potential role in solutions as varied as live streaming, industrial automation, smart homes and buildings, connected vehicles, immersive gaming, augmented and virtual reality. To learn more, click here to access the report or infographic.

Oracle Data Cloud Announces New MRC Accreditation For Moat Analytics


Press Release 

Moat Analytics Earns MRC Recognition for Sophisticated Invalid Traffic Filtration and Detection in Mobile Apps 

Redwood City, CA—Feb 28, 2019 

Oracle Data Cloud today announced that the Media Rating Council (MRC) has granted accreditation to Moat Analytics for its ability to detect and filter sophisticated invalid traffic (SIVT), like the ad fraud generated by bot networks, in mobile apps. To earn its MRC accreditation, Moat Analytics successfully completed an audit of its technologies, systems, and processes by independent CPAs engaged by the MRC, and was found by an MRC committee to be compliant with MRC’s high standards

“Mobile has become a critical front in the struggle against ad fraud,” said Dan Fichter, Vice President of Engineering at Oracle Data Cloud. “For marketing budgets to continue their shift to apps and the mobile web, marketers must gain confidence that the mobile environment is safe. This MRC accreditation was earned through the hard work of a cross-disciplinary Moat technology team that specializes in mobile development, network engineering, data science, and machine learning across a footprint that nets us tens of billions of measurement logs each day. I’m very proud of the teams that have pulled this off.” 

Highlighting the importance of in-app SIVT prevention, Oracle last week announced the discovery of “DrainerBot,” a major mobile ad fraud operation distributed through millions of downloads of infected consumer Android apps. Infected apps could consume more than 10GB of data per month downloading hidden and unseen video ads, potentially costing each device owner a hundred dollars per year or more in data overage charges. 

“The MRC’s guidelines for SIVT filtration and detection were designed to ensure that measurement providers comply with a comprehensive range of rigorous requirements for this vital and complicated work,” said George W. Ivie, Executive Director and CEO of MRC. “We are pleased to recognize Oracle Data Cloud’s Moat Analytics for achieving this important accreditation for in-app SIVT filtration and detection, and we commend them for their leadership in working toward transparency and accountability in digital advertising.” 

According to the MRC definition, Sophisticated Invalid Traffic includes “traffic identified through advanced analytics; multi-point corroboration; human intervention – such as hijacked devices, ad tags, or creative; adware; malware; misappropriated content.” Moat Analytics previously has also been accredited by the MRC for SIVT Filtration and Detection for Desktop and Mobile Web, as well as Display and Video Ad Viewability Metrics for Desktop, Mobile Web, and Mobile In-App. 

According to eMarketer, Americans spent more than three and a half hours per day using their smartphones and tablet devices on average in 2018, and 88 percent of that time was spent within apps, rather than mobile web browsers, creating a significant risk for ad fraud and a need for rigorous monitoring and defense. 

Moat Analytics helps top advertisers and publishers measure and drive attention across trillions of ad impressions and content views, so they can avoid invalid traffic (IVT), improve viewability, and better protect their media spend.

Oracle Database 19c 19.2.0 para Exadata disponible para descarga

 · 
Ya esta disponible la version 19c 19.2.0.0 para descargar del sitio de edelivery.oracle.com.
Al igual como pasó con 18c, por el momento ha sido liberada la versión únicamente para EXADATA-
Sin embargo, para los "traviesos", recordaran que utilicé, en la guía de instalación de 18c Exadata en un Oracle VirtualBox Machine, el parámetro _exadata_feature_on=true, para poder tener disponible un laboratorio para ir practicando.
Este parámetro oculto, engaña al software de la base de datos y le permite correr en un sistema que no es un EXADATA en realidad.

El artículo de referencia lo puede encontrar en este link:

Así que es hora de instalar 19c y esperar que la versión oficial de producción sea liberada.
Recuerden que esta es mi recomendación, para todos aquellos que están visualizando, hacer una actualización de sus bases de datos en versión 11gR2 11.2.0.4 o 12cR1 12.1.0 en versión ON-PREMISE.

Oracle Accelerates Adoption of Enterprise Blockchain Worldwide


Press Release 
Blockchain platform delivers new capabilities that accelerate business benefits 

Redwood Shores, Calif.—Feb 12, 2019 

Businesses around the world have already reaped the benefits of blockchain applications built on Oracle Blockchain Platform. Companies using Oracle’s business-ready blockchain have been able to move from experimentation to production by creating new blockchain applications from scratch or adding blockchain functionality to an existing solution. To support its customers, Oracle has added new features to the platform that help users speed up the development, integration, and deployment of new blockchain applications. 

While blockchain can greatly streamline many existing processes surrounding supply chain, identity, cross-border payments, and fraud detection, businesses have struggled to implement blockchain networks within their existing ecosystems. Oracle Blockchain Platform addresses this challenge by streamlining the process of building and integrating blockchain applications across diverse business networks and connecting them into the relevant business processes within these ecosystems. 

“Oracle’s continued leadership and investment in enterprise blockchain technology ensures that the platform has all of the critical capabilities organizations need to build blockchain applications to handle their most important business transactions,” said Frank Xiong, group vice president, Blockchain Product Development, Oracle. “The number of customers already running blockchain applications based on Oracle’s blockchain platform is testament to the strength of the technology and the value it brings to a broad range of industries.” 
Worldwide Customers with Blockchain Apps in Use 

Using blockchain applications, Oracle customers are establishing new ways to increase trust in diverse ecosystems and increasing the speed, security and efficiency of a wide range of business processes. Oracle’s rapidly growing list of global customers with production deployments on its enterprise-grade blockchain platform include: 

· China Distance Education Holdings Limited (CDEL) uses blockchain to share educational records and professional certifications across many educational institutions to help employers and recruiters verify the educational credentials claimed by individuals. 

· Circulor uses blockchain to track conflict minerals from their origin at the mines to processing and use in electronic components to ensure ethical sourcing of raw materials. 

· SERES uses blockchain to bring greater trust and efficiency to electronic invoicing in franchise networks, which share ordering and fulfillment data between franchisors and franchisees. 

· Additionally, Arab Jordan Investment Bank, CargoSmart, Certified Origins, HealthSync, ICS Financial Systems, NeuroSoft, Nigeria Customs, OriginTrail, SDK.Finance, and TradeFin have built or integrated production-ready blockchain applications on Oracle Blockchain Platform. 

“Oracle’s blockchain solution delivers enterprise performance, security and scalability right out-of-the-box,” said Doug Johnson-Poensgen, CEO and founder of Circulor. “We started with the Oracle Blockchain Platform four months ago and were able to go from zero to a production system spanning multiple organizations involved in ethical sourcing of minerals within a matter of months. Another key advantage is that we were able to integrate Oracle’s blockchain platform into a hybrid blockchain network spanning multiple clouds and easily integrate with our existing systems and applications.” 

“Blockchain improves the trust relationship between franchisor and the franchises by including best practices and decentralized access to the transactions. Normally, merchandise acceptance processes are manual and require an operator entering the data into the system. But, for example when a franchise has economic problems, it can repudiate that delivery, saying that it never received the merchandise. They can manipulate the database and, on the other hand, also the franchisor can manipulate it,” said José María Mínguez Gutiérrez, Transactional Services Manager of SERES. “With blockchain and its immutability and traceability of information, all these problems disappear and all parties can trust the data and the transactions.” 
Enhances Security, Developer Productivity and DevOps Capabilities 

With this latest release, Oracle has added unique developer-oriented productivity enhancements and consortium-oriented identity management features, which are critical to diverse organizations conducting business transactions via a blockchain network. New DevOps capabilities make the platform easier to integrate with existing business and IT systems. Additionally, as blockchain becomes an important data store in the enterprise, the platform enables Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse customers to transparently capture blockchain transaction history and current state data for analytics and to integrate it with other data sources. New features include: 
· Enhanced world state database to support standard SQL-based ledger queries reducing the complexity of developing chaincode using readily available programming skills, ensure smart contracts can safely rely on the query results, which are verified at transaction commit, and significantly boost performance of rich data queries.
· Rich history database shadows transaction history into a relational database schema in the Autonomous Data Warehouse or other Oracle databases, which transparently enables analytics integration for interactive dashboards and reports.
· Enhanced REST APIs for event subscription, blockchain administration/configuration, and monitoring of network health, transaction rates, and other statistics, which simplify integration with existing enterprise IT tools.
· Identity federation further extends authentication capabilities to work with external identity providers to facilitate consortium blockchains with many diverse participants using their existing identity management systems.
· Third-party certificate support for registering client organizations on the blockchain network to enable them to use existing certificates issued by trusted third parties.
· Hyperledger Fabric 1.3 support, which adds many new features based on the evolving open source version, including chaincode development in Java, further leveraging existing enterprise skills, and support for private transactions among a subset of members, preserving privacy and business confidentiality. This demonstrates Oracle’s commitment to stay current with the Hyperledger community by leveraging new releases and contributing to the open source community.

Oracle Blockchain Helps Czech Financial Firm, SDK.finance, Transform Payment Industry


Press Release
Oracle Blockchain Platform streamlines cross-border payments and cuts fees
Redwood Shores, Calif.—Feb 12, 2019

SDK.finance is using Oracle Blockchain Platform to help the company transform the rapidly evolving payments industry. By integrating Oracle Blockchain Platform into its core payment platform for banks and financial institutions, SDK.finance provides a secure payment system that removes the need for intermediaries, such as correspondent banks and clearing houses. This helps facilitate faster, more cost effective and secure payments, and as a result, can improve the overall customer experience. 

Pavlo Sidelov, Chief Technical Officer, SDK.finance said, “Despite the considerable disruption of the financial services industry, cross-border payments are still very slow, the associated fees are expensive, and there is an inherent lack of trust, especially around peer-to-peer payments. We are removing these pain points by providing a platform that drives highly secure, affordable, and fast transactions. Oracle’s enterprise-grade blockchain cloud platform is critical to helping us achieve these goals.” 

Using Oracle’s reliable and high performing distributed ledger technology, SDK.finance provides its customers with trusted real-time verification of transactions. Replacing intermediary financial institutions with the new system means that transactions only need to be confirmed through the blockchain, which has the potential to reduce the time needed for cross-border transactions from days or even weeks to a matter of seconds. It also removes the associated transaction fees, benefitting both end users and merchants, as they gain an alternative way to accept payments without the heavy fees charged by banks and payment processing companies on transactions and chargebacks. This allows them to provide better value and improve the experience for their customers. 

Frank Xiong, group vice president, Blockchain Development Platform, Oracle said, “Blockchain has the power to impact all industries, including financial services and organizations like SDK.finance. Using Oracle Blockchain Platform, SDK.finance can change the future of digital payment processing, improving the user experience, security, speed, and cost of each payment dramatically.” 

Oracle provides a comprehensive blockchain offering, including business-ready Oracle Blockchain Applications Cloud and a pre-assembled Oracle Blockchain Platform for developers building or integrating their own applications. Oracle Blockchain Platform is production-ready with enterprise-grade capabilities, easy to adopt, and quick to develop upon, helping to save customers’ time and costs and accelerating their blockchain journeys. 

Blockchain technology can reduce the security issues in mobile payments and online purchases. The inherent trust factor related with blockchain is most important when dealing with peer-to-peer payments. With blockchain technology, the digitally signed transaction requests, results verification via smart contracts and multi-party consensus helps to protect the users’ digital transactions. Blockchain technology has the potential to solve security concerns by providing a permissioned platform that ensures full transparency between transacting parties.
