Oracle is reportedly moving AI-agent security controls into the database layer rather than relying primarily on application-level protections. Its Secure at Source approach uses granular authorization to restrict what AI agents can access even when an application is compromised. Oracle tools including Deep Data Security, Data Safe, and Database Security Central are intended to provide centralized visibility, policy enforcement, faster security updates, and recovery planning across cloud and on-premises databases.
