In an era where cyber threats loom ever larger for small businesses, Oracle and seQure—a subsidiary of Entanglement—are stepping up to address these security challenges with a groundbreaking cybersecurity service called Ground-Truth. Available now on the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), this advanced solution promises to revolutionize how enterprises and government organizations detect and respond to cyber threats.
Ground-Truth, initially available only on-premises, enhances threat detection and data observability capabilities. This shift to the cloud allows organizations to automate the detection of vulnerabilities and potentially reduce event alerts by an impressive 90%. The implications for small business owners are profound: improved cybersecurity resources that are typically reserved for larger enterprises are now accessible on a scalable platform.
Rand Waldron, Oracle’s Vice President, explains, “Deploying Ground-Truth on OCI enables seQure to scale and bring its advanced threat detection capabilities to even more governments and enterprises. This partnership helps our combined customers identify unknown cyber threats and anomalies faster and more accurately.”
One of the standout features of Ground-Truth is its zero-trust model, which employs quantum-inspired algorithms, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to enhance the speed and accuracy of threat detection. For small business owners, this means more efficient operations with fewer false alarms and lower operational costs—an essential advantage in managing limited resources.
Small businesses often contend with the burden of cybersecurity without the dedicated technology budgets of their larger counterparts. Ground-Truth aims to level the playing field by providing AI-driven operations without oversimplified rule-based methods. This helps small business owners focus their efforts on growing their business while the service manages cybersecurity seamlessly.
The service’s capabilities are extensive. Customers gain access to features such as:
- Automated detection of novel threats in less than a second.
- An API-driven approach that integrates smoothly with existing security measures.
- Continuous adaptation to changing environments through unsupervised learning techniques.
- The ability to process up to 20TB of data daily at speeds up to 1000 times faster than conventional methods.
These benefits are crucial for small businesses that often face unique operational demands and need to maintain flexibility in their cybersecurity posture. Jason Turner, Chairman and CEO of Entanglement, emphasizes the importance of this new offering, stating, “Ground-Truth’s AI provides fidelity in threat detection with minimal false positives for both Network and Cyber Security applications.”
However, small business owners should also consider the practical challenges of implementing such a robust solution. The need for training staff to operate new technology and integrate it with existing security frameworks can be a substantial hurdle. Moreover, companies transitioning to cloud-based resources must also navigate compliance and regulatory landscapes tailored to their industry, which can vary significantly.
Integration may require an initial investment of time and effort, but the long-term payoffs—inclusive of operational efficiency and improved cybersecurity—can be significant. Small businesses must assess their unique needs and resource availability to determine if Ground-Truth is suitable for them as they look for robust security measures.
As cyber risks evolve, embracing innovative technologies like Ground-Truth can provide a much-needed safety net for small businesses. By capitalizing on advanced innovations gathered under the OCI ecosystem, small business owners can enhance their operational capabilities while focusing on growth.
