The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has released new guidance to help organizations mitigate risks associated with a recently reported breach of Oracle cloud services. While the full scope and impact of the breach remain unconfirmed, CISA warns that exposed credentials could potentially be reused across unrelated systems or embedded within software, posing ongoing security risks.
The advisory outlines key steps both organizations and individual users should take to reduce their risk of compromise. In addition to Oracle-specific recommendations, the alert includes broader best practices for strengthening cloud security.
“This alert not only offers practical recommendations to address the potential Oracle breach but also reinforces critical best practices for overall cloud security,” said John Riggi, national advisor for cybersecurity and risk at the American Hospital Association (AHA). “We continue to see that much of the cyber risk facing hospitals and health systems stems from vulnerabilities in third-party technologies, service providers, and the broader supply chain. It is crucial for mission-critical partners to share timely threat intelligence and insights on adversary tactics with both the federal government and affected clients. Doing so is essential to preventing attacks that could compromise sensitive data and endanger patient safety.”
