What does Oracle Cloud Guard do?

Oracle Cloud Guard is designed to enhance the security posture of your Oracle Cloud environment by continuously monitoring for security risks and misconfigurations. Its primary function involves identifying potential vulnerabilities, evaluating security policies, and providing insights into the security state of cloud resources. This proactive monitoring allows organizations to address security issues before they can be exploited, ensuring a more secure cloud environment.

The mechanism by which Oracle Cloud Guard operates includes automated assessments of cloud resources, detection of abnormal activities, and recommendations for security best practices. This capability makes it an essential tool for maintaining compliance with security standards and safeguarding sensitive data.

While other options might involve aspects relevant to cloud management, such as backups or resource usage reporting, they do not align with the primary functionality of Oracle Cloud Guard, which is focused on security monitoring and risk management.
