What is the purpose of Oracle Cloud Guard in OCI?

The purpose of Oracle Cloud Guard in OCI is to monitor resources for misconfiguration and compliance issues. It serves as a security service designed to enhance the overall security posture of cloud environments by identifying potential vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and deviations from best practices.

Oracle Cloud Guard enables organizations to continuously assess their cloud resources, ensuring that they adhere to security policies and compliance requirements. By actively monitoring, it helps detect unauthorized changes or deviations in real-time, allowing for prompt remediation. This proactive approach to security management empowers users to maintain a secure cloud environment by providing insights and recommendations to mitigate risks.

This functionality is particularly valuable because cloud users need to ensure they comply with industry regulations and internal security standards, making Oracle Cloud Guard an essential tool for maintaining a robust security framework in the cloud.
