The clear, consistent and enforced delineation of responsibilities between a CSP and its tenants (customers) is the bedrock of security in any cloud environment. Beyond this, is the need for a cloud tenant to securely host and share information to third parties in the same environment, while also controlling the authorisation to broker information access between these parties.
In this session, we will look at how Oracle's Cloud can be leveraged to address the first of these security requirements where no access by the CSP into the tenancy is possible, and absolute sovereignty of both data and operations is guaranteed. Using the same architecture, we will demonstrate how to establish secure partitions within the environment to facilitate information sharing with authorised partners, such as other government agencies and select military contractors, that helps you secure important data and maintain data residency.
