en.Wedoany.com Reported - Dimension News, Oracle released the database security management tool Oracle Database Security Central on August 14, offering enterprise users a free usage period of approximately six months, ending at the end of February 2027. The tool aims to provide security teams with a unified view of security risks in their database environments.

The release comes as Oracle customers face severe security challenges, with attackers continuously targeting vulnerabilities in Oracle database products. Meanwhile, Oracle has expressed concern over security threats posed by the AI vulnerability discovery model Mythos.

The first monthly patch batch fixed 35 vulnerabilities, 11 of which were rated as critical.

The tool also centralizes security policy management, preventing policy discrepancies that could expose enterprises to risk.
