What is the purpose of OCI's Security Zone?

The purpose of OCI's Security Zone is to enforce security best practices and compliance requirements on resources. Security Zones are designed to help organizations implement and maintain a security posture that aligns with their compliance obligations and internal governance policies. Within a Security Zone, specific configurations, policies, and controls are applied to cloud resources to ensure that they are compliant with best security practices.

This framework allows administrators to automatically enforce standards such as access controls, network security rules, and resource configurations. By doing so, Security Zones help mitigate risks and enhance the overall security strategy of an organization's cloud environment, ensuring that resources are not only compliant but also secure against potential threats.
