Secure access to your OCI resources by implementing strict IAM controls:


- **Set up an identity and access management (IAM) security model:** An initial version of a security model can help your organization [mitigate risk](https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/cloud-adoption-framework/iam-security-structure.htm)
- **Principle of Least Privilege:** Grant only the necessary permissions and regularly audit your [IAM policies](https://www.ateam-oracle.com/post/oci-iam-policies-best-practices).
- **Breakglass Administrator:** Do not use the out-of-the-box OCI Adminstrator account for day-to-day operations. Configure additional administrators based on least privileges and secure the OCI Administrator account as a breakglass account, reserved for emergency use only, as defined in the [OCI IAM Security Best Practices](https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Security/Reference/iam_security.htm#Securing_IAM).
- **Multi‑Factor Authentication (MFA):** Enable MFA for all users to protect against unauthorized access. Additional best practices are detailed in the [OCI IAM Security Best Practices](https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Security/Reference/iam_security.htm#Securing_IAM).

Establishing robust observability is key to maintaining the health of your environment. Follow these best practices:

- **SIEM Integration Pattern:** A SIEM platform is required to increase responsiveness to [security attacks](https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/cloud-adoption-framework/siem-integration.htm)
- **Enable Logging and Monitoring:** Utilize OCI’s logging and monitoring services to track your resources and applications. Setting up alerts for operational insights is crucial for maintaining system health. Refer to [OCI Best Practices](https://docs.oracle.com/en/solutions/oci-best-practices/index.html) for strategies.
- **Data Visualization Tools:** Leverage OCI Monitoring and OCI Logging to visualize data in [dashboards and track performance metrics](https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Dashboards/Tasks/dashboards.htm). A number of [security dashboards](https://blogs.oracle.com/observability/post/oracle-cloud-infrastructure-security-fundamentals-dashboards-using-oci-logging-analytics) have been published to help you gain rapid visibility into your operational security metrics.
- **Integrate with Third-Party Tools:** Integrate OCI with a [third-party SIEM](https://docs.oracle.com/solutions/?q=SIEM&cType=reference-architectures%2Csolution-playbook%2Cbuilt-deployed&sort=date-desc&lang=en) (if you are using one) to enhance your monitoring capabilities, as suggested in the OCI Architecture Center.
