  • Oracle Database 23ai Unifies Data for Generative AI

    The rapid rise of generative AI (GenAI) applications has created an urgent demand for modern data platforms capable of supporting diverse, complex, and high-volume data requirements. Organizations are increasingly turning to converged databases that can efficiently manage structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data in a unified environment. Oracle Database 23ai addresses this need by providing a comprehensive, mission-critical solution. By consolidating all data types and AI development capabilities into a single platform, Oracle empowers organizations to accelerate generative AI initiatives while ensuring data security, governance, and operational efficiency. At the recent Oracle Database Analyst Summit, several Oracle executives presented the latest innovations while customers shared how they use Oracle technology to support AI initiatives. We find that Oracle’s strategy aligns closely with our analysis of the role of databases in the generative AI market.

  • The Future of SecOps in an AI-driven World

    Security operations (SecOps) is a mainstay of modern security programs. Once focused on reactive, alert-driven activities, today’s security operations have expanded to a risk mitigation function, inclusive of both proactive and reactive strategies like threat detection, response, and recovery. With such a broad scope of responsibility, it’s no surprise that the number and complexity of systems and technologies involved continue to grow, heavily influenced by the more recent explosion of generative AI (GenAI) adoption. TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group recently surveyed IT and cybersecurity professionals to gain insights into these trends.

  • The Future of SecOps in an AI-driven World

    SecOps is a mainstay of modern security programs. Once focused on reactive, alert-driven activities, today’s SecOps has expanded to a risk mitigation function, inclusive of both proactive and reactive strategies like security posture management, core security controls optimization and tuning, detection and response, and recovery in the event of a harmful cyberattack. This expanded agenda has also increased collaboration with other functions, including risk management, IT, OT, software development and engineering, supply chain management, and more. With such a broad scope of responsibility, it’s no surprise that the number and complexity of systems and technologies involved continue to grow, heavily influenced by the more recent explosion of GenAI adoption.

    Despite all of this, for the first time in the past five years, this research indicates that the scales are tipping, as more organizations reported this year that SecOps is getting easier. This improvement is fueled by three industry mega-trends: tool consolidation, the application of GenAI within SecOps, and the effectiveness of XDR solutions.

    To gain further insights into these mega-trends and other developments in the security operations space, Enterprise Strategy Group surveyed 366 IT and cybersecurity professionals at large midmarket and enterprise organizations in North America (U.S. and Canada) involved with security operations technology and processes.
