> “Of all of the commercial databases, Oracle is the least secure,” British security expert David Litchfield recently told Reuters. Which is a problem, both from a national security perspective or even a consumer confidence perspective. Because today, everybody uses Oracle databases.
The only good thing about it today is that the last sentence is no longer true and Oracle is considered a legacy technology.
From my limited perspective (ca. 10 Fortune 500 orgs) Oracle definitely is (or was) somewhere at each of these but in most cases was considered a liability rather than asset and in two cases I participated in projects migrating away from it (that were quite time-consuming because of all quirks on the way). Only in one case the org was adamant they want to keep it (I don't know the actual reasons as I was in another department but from what I understood they used a lot of Oracle-specific solutions and were depending on Orcale support a lot).
Incredible. Had not heard this. Now starts to make more sense. Makes you wonder what tech we don't know about. How much is AI already in use if he is ok talking about this in public.
