Oracle Machine Learning “moves the algorithms to the data”, processing data where it resides—in the Oracle Database (On-premises, Cloud, and Autonomous).   This next-generation, hybrid, combined Data Management, and Machine Learning platform enables companies to harvest more insights from their data, eliminates data movement, delivers scalability, preserves security, and accelerates model deployment. Oracle Machine Learning’s 30+ in-database algorithms can address many business problems e.g. predicting behavior, finding anomalies and detecting potential fraud, recommending “next best offers”, sentiment analysis, anticipating churn and discovering key attributes.   OML supports the key roles—data scientists, business and data analysts, database and application developers, and executives with ML algorithms, SQL, R and Python APIs, AutoML, notebooks, UIs, and tight integration with open-source R and Python.  Come hear the latest developments, how to get started and what’s coming next.

Oracle now boasts two Low Code development tools for building new applications or extending your Cloud services:  Application Express (APEX) and Visual Builder Cloud Service (VBCS).  How do they measure up? Which is right for your organization?  Do they work together? Which is best, for which use cases?

This session presents APEX and VBCS side by side, using a simple common application to illustrate the talking points. 

Attendees will learn essential information for making an informed decision on which to use – or both. The session covers key features of each for development, deployment, costs, learning curve, usability, and time to master. For those who have not seen APEX or VBCS, or want to see the side by side comparison, here you go. Attendees will gain information to assess which cloud development tool is best for their business needs.

Oracle Log Analytics Cloud Service offers an easy way to monitor, aggregate, analyze, and correlate log events from across your database and Exadata environment. In this session learn how DBAs can easily configure log collection and efficiently analyze logs from their database environment to rapidly troubleshoot problems. See how to use plain language analysis to easily find errors across different log sources. Experience the power of machine learning techniques to rapidly identify anomalies that can lead to a problem’s root cause and eliminate finger-pointing.

Oracle Databases are a target of cyber-attacks by hackers looking to obtain sensitive data such as credit card numbers and personally identifiable information used in identity theft.  Even though databases are not externally accessible, they are still a target as most cyber-attacks penetrate the network perimeter and look for high-value targets within your internal network.  This session will review and demonstrate the tools most used in database breaches including Metasploit, Nmap, database rootkits, and other tools.  Each tool will be demonstrated and the indications of such use against the database will be shown.
