In a game-changing move, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) has introduced a new Secure Cloud Computing Architecture (SCCA) for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). The Oracle Cloud Native SCCA Landing Zone solution aims to facilitate security compliance and cloud adoption for mission-critical workloads, making these processes more efficient, quick, and cost-effective.
Oracle Propels Security Compliance Once Again
Historically, SCCA compliance has required significant investment from DoD mission owners, including independent development efforts and third-party software licensing. However, the advent of Oracle’s Cloud Native SCCA Landing Zone provides a comprehensive framework for securely running DoD mission workloads and storing Impact Level 2, 4, and 5 data in OCI government regions. The solution offers automation that enables DoD mission owners to establish a compliant security architecture rapidly, replacing months of work with just a few hours or days.
The Game Changer in Cloud Deployment
Oracle’s SCCA solution redefines cloud deployment with its use of cloud native infrastructure services. The reduction in architecture time and decision points significantly accelerates the deployment of mission-critical workloads. Rand Waldron, Vice President, OCI Global Government Sector, stated,
“Oracle Cloud Native SCCA Landing Zone is a game-changer for our customers. What we are doing is fundamentally different. We will deliver all the capabilities necessary for SCCA completely in native OCI services. Our customers will no longer have to manage multiple licenses, multiple vendor relationships, or multiple kinds of security configurations.“
Simplifying and Accelerating DoD Security Compliance
Oracle’s Cloud Native SCCA Landing Zone includes baseline configurations, rules, and templates that meet DISA Impact Level 2, 4, and 5 accreditation requirements. Delivered using a standardized Infrastructure-as-Code (IAC) template, it allows for the meeting of SCCA controls in a simplified and repeatable manner. The solution also addresses the four primary technical components of the SCCA framework: Cloud Access Point (CAP), Virtual Data Center Security Stack (VDSS), Virtual Data Center Management Service (VDMS), and Trusted Cloud Credential Manager (TCCM).
Security, Pricing, and Availability
Notably, the Oracle Cloud Native SCCA Landing Zone script and associated technical documentation are provided at no separate or additional charge under a customer’s contract. Oracle Cloud for DoD services are priced at the http://cloudcomputing.newshub.talkabout.tech/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/ImageGenerator_The_power_of_the_internet_transforms_the_future__9a3bc078-cc4e-4837-b985-2d7271bca32c-2.webpe, consistent global pricing as Oracle’s commercial public cloud regions and meet DISA Impact Levels 2, 4, and 5 and FedRAMP+ authorization standards.
Oracle Cloud Native SCCA Landing Zone scripts are readily accessible within the OCI Console, through GitHub, and from the Hosting and Compute Center (HaCC) website.
In conclusion, Oracle’s Cloud Native SCCA solution is a pivotal development in advancing cloud security, compliance, and deployment for the U.S. DoD. With its cloud native services, Oracle is forging ahead in its commitment to provide secure, efficient, and cost-effective cloud solutions.
