The Oracle breach and the case for transparent cyber response
Briefly

The Oracle Cloud breach serves as a stark reminder that trusted technology providers can fall victim to supply chain attacks. Early reports claimed the exfiltration of 6 million records, including sensitive data. A significant issue arose when Oracle initially denied the breach, delaying necessary proactive responses from affected organizations. This incident underscores the importance of timely disclosure in mitigating damage and preserving trust. Transparency during such events should be viewed as critical to cybersecurity resilience, enabling stakeholders to act swiftly and reduce risks throughout the system.
In the world of incident response, time is everything. The gap between compromise and disclosure is where reputational damage grows, trust erodes, and customers are left in the dark.
Transparency is a security control. Upfront transparency should be regarded as a fundamental security control, crucial for Trust and response processes.
