Oracle Patches , Virus and Malware. Fight between security team and dba's

user8398205May 19 2020 — edited May 28 2020

Hi Everyone

So based on my heading, I am sure alot of your heads were turning and like, Really ? What a question.

So reality is I am a oracle technical specialist for the last 20 years and have never came across any issues with Oracle Patches. However recently, our security team has prevented my team from downloading oracle patches, as they reckon they have to scan them for malware and virus's.

This has created such a pain in our lives as it takes them days to provide us with patches.

So my question is, what security is in place that ensures downloading from Oracle patches, is safe and secure ?

Has there been ever a recorded case , of oracle patches having malware or virus's.

Please I would appreciate answers, so that I can formally take this up with the security team.

they have yet to provide me with valid concerns or proof.
