Comments on: Gartner: Oracle no longer a bastion of security

Research firm tells administrators to be "more aggressive" in protecting their Oracle applications.

Unbreakable?

Unbreakable?

I don't think so, They are too busy buying up companies instead of keeping up the quality of their flagship product

Tell me something new.

Oracle has not been a bastion in security for several years. The only thing related to security in this company in the last five years has been their marketing. The number of vulnerabilities, their seriousness, and the total lack of responsibility with which Oracle treated them puts the company at the bottom of the market in this respect. Well below IBM, Microsoft and the Open Source alternatives.
But marketing trumps truth, and Oracle is still the "unbreakable" alternative in the mind of many CIOs.

How times have changed

2 short years ago M$ was the evil empire with the reputation for releasing products full of security holes and lacking a commitment to fix them. Oracle was the rock on which corporate America built thier house. Even though there are still vulnerabilities, I applaude MS for taking action to address their problems. Oracle seems to be heading in the opposite direction these days. Oracle could learn a lesson from MS in how to simplify the security patch process. Their current process is far too complex.

Slamming Oracle Again

This site is getting far too predicatable. I think Bill Gates is actually writing these articles.

Yes, the patching process is too complex, but there have been no more successful expoits of Oracle products than there have been of equally obiquitous products. TOO MUCH HYPE.
