Oracle shifts agent controls toward data-layer security
Oracle is retooling security for the agent era — moving controls from the app layer to the data layer where autonomous systems actually touch sensitive information.
Why it matters
As agents gain direct access to enterprise data and processes, traditional application-layer security is proving insufficient. Oracle's shift signals a broader architectural reckoning: agent deployments require fundamentally different security boundaries.

Publisher excerpt: Data-layer security is becoming more important as automated systems gain broader access to sensitive information and business processes. Controls designed for predictable applications may not be enough when agents can interact directly with enterprise data. Artificial intelligence is also…
