Larry Ellison Oracle OpenWorld keynote to light a fire in the security community | #oow15

Larry Ellison, Oracle’s executive chairman and chief technology officer, delivered the second keynote address on day three of Oracle OpenWorld 2015 in San Francisco. As always, theCUBE analysts, including John Furrier and Brian Gracely, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, were there to discuss all the details.

The speech “focused heavily on security,” summarized John Furrier. While Brian Gracely remarked that the keynote would “light a fire in the security community.” Furrier agreed, stating, “The consultant business is going to boom.”

Ellison talked about the need to have security from the hardware up, also known as “silicon security.” Furrier quoted Ellison as saying, “Let’s get rid of the on/off switch in security.” The move toward “always-on” security is something Gracely expects the “security pros to trust but validate.”

All in all, Gracely doubts the emphasis on hardware will effect app developers overly much, as “app developers don’t want to think about hardware.”
