Oracle announced the new Oracle Cloud for Australian Government and Defense in Canberra. Offering over 100 services, the new region is a complete and highly secure hyperscale cloud platform that allows customers to build and run applications. It is physically isolated from Oracle's other public and government cloud regions and shares no backbone connections with them, including the existing Sydney and Melbourne public regions that are available to all Oracle Cloud customers. The completed Information Security Registered Assessors Program (IRAP) assessment at PROTECTED level provides assurance to Australian public sector organizations that Oracle Cloud for the Australian Government and Defense adheres to appropriate security controls.
Opinion:
The new Oracle Cloud for Australian Government and Defense is a promising development for Australian public sector organizations, as it provides a secure and reliable platform for them to build and run applications. However, it is important to note that the cloud region is still relatively new and untested, so it remains to be seen how well it will perform in the long run. Additionally, the security measures in place may not be enough to protect against potential cyber threats. As such, it is essential for public sector organizations to remain vigilant and take the necessary steps to ensure the safety of their data.
