At Oracle OpenWorld this past October, Oracle founder and CTO Larry Ellison spoke about the future of security. Attacks against ERP and other systems-whether in an effort to steal data, or to commit fraud-increasingly rely on artificial intelligence, Ellison told the audience. Humans cannot possibly keep up, so we need to counter AI with AI.

One of our clients, an international communications company, had reason to take these concerns very seriously. With hundreds of millions of customers globally and more than 150,000 employees, the company came to Oracle wanting more than risk detection; it needed risk prevention.
