V-DIG Audit: Oracle

Enterprise Technology Stack & Vendor Relationships

Oracle maintains direct technology partnerships with multiple Israeli-founded cybersecurity vendors that are documented in official Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) marketplace listings and partner materials 1. These partnerships include CyberArk for privileged access management, Check Point for CloudGuard network security, Wiz for cloud security posture management, and SentinelOne for extended detection and response platform integration 1. Wiz, the Israeli cloud security company, operates as a documented Oracle customer running its production environments on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 12. The CyberArk integration connects with Oracle Identity Governance and Oracle LDAP Directory Services, representing a core enterprise security layer rather than peripheral functionality 1. The Check Point, Wiz, SentinelOne, and Palo Alto integrations are positioned as customer-facing security options within OCI’s marketplace ecosystem 1. Verint and NICE partnerships operate at the application-layer CRM and contact center analytics tier 1. No public evidence identified of systems integrators mandating Israeli-origin technology as part of Oracle-specific digital transformation engagements; all identified vendor relationships are direct technology alliance arrangements 1.

Surveillance, Biometrics & Retail Technology

No public evidence identified of Oracle deploying or licensing facial recognition, biometric identification, behavioral analytics, or gait analysis technologies sourced from Israeli-origin vendors including Trigo, BriefBriefCam, AnyVision/Oosto, or Trax 1. No public evidence identified of Oracle using Israeli-origin predictive policing, sentiment analysis, social media monitoring, or workforce surveillance tools within its own operations or as a technology provider in Israeli enforcement or security contexts 1. No public evidence identified of Israeli-origin surveillance or biometric technologies reaching Oracle indirectly via managed security services, bundled enterprise suites, or third-party platform integrations 1.

Cloud Infrastructure, Data Residency & Sovereign Cloud Participation

Oracle announced the opening of its first OCI public cloud region in Israel on January 13, 2022, with explicit objectives of serving local enterprise and government customers and enabling in-country data residency 3. The Israel cloud region subsequently opened in June 2023 and is listed among Oracle’s operational commercial cloud regions 45. Oracle operates an underground data center in Jerusalem, opened February 2021, located 50 meters below ground in Har Hotzvim tech hub, spanning 14,000 square meters with a $319 million investment, designed to withstand rocket and missile attacks 67. Oracle was disqualified from Project Nimbus, the Israeli government $1.2 billion cloud contract awarded in April 2021; the Jerusalem District Court ruled that Oracle did not meet security requirements, and AWS and Google were selected as the contractors 58. No public evidence identified of Oracle holding a prime contract, subcontract, or consortium role under Project Nimbus 1. Oracle’s operational Israel OCI region is commercially available to public sector customers, including Israeli government ministries, on standard commercial terms; no specific state cloud contract with Israeli government bodies has been publicly confirmed that is equivalent in scope or structure to Project Nimbus 1. Oracle’s Israel OCI region processes and stores data for Israeli customers, including government and enterprise customers, within Israeli legal jurisdiction 1. Under Israeli law, including the Israeli Privacy Protection Law and national security legislation enabling government access to data, data stored or processed in Oracle’s Israel region is potentially accessible to Israeli state authorities under Israeli legal process 1.

Defence, Intelligence & Security Sector Technology Relationships

Oracle provides software and services to the Israeli Ministry of Defense, including a NIS 100 million ERP tender in 2001 (5-year contract), NIS 60 million strategic contract in 2001, and NIS 140 million licensing agreement renewal in 2015, with ongoing support services through 2024 1.
