Introduction
Securing your cloud infrastructure is critical, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) provides a built-in Vulnerability Scanning Service (VSS) to detect security risks in your compute instances. In this guide, we’ll walk through the complete setup—from scan recipes to remediation.
Prerequisites
- A running OCI compute instance
- Proper access to OCI Console
- Required permissions to configure security services
Create scan recipes
Click on create scan recipe
Go to the compute instance and
Create target. In this example, i am taking a single compute instance as an example.
Configure Cloud Guard and click on recipes
change it to root
from the home page, click on configuration and then create new targets
Once the target is created, then move to scan reports
Click on vulnerability report
Go to cloud guard >Alerts>problems
The next step would be to remediate the problems based upon the individual scenarios one by one.
Conclusion
OCI’s Vulnerability Scanning Service combined with Cloud Guard provides a powerful security layer. Regular scans and proactive remediation ensure your infrastructure remains secure and compliant.
