Oracle-focused solution provider Centroid Systems has announced a strategic Centroid–Stellar Cyber partnership with Stellar Cyber aimed at enhancing managed security services for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) users. The collaboration delivers a security operations platform designed to provide real-time protection and deep integration with Oracle’s ecosystem, addressing growing cybersecurity demands as enterprises expand cloud adoption and artificial intelligence (AI) usage.
Scott Whitley, chief revenue officer of Centroid, said the Centroid–Stellar Cyber partnership is a timely step toward helping Oracle customers strengthen their defense posture. “We’re excited about the Centroid–Stellar Cyber partnership. We’re excited to see what it drives,” Whitley said.
Addressing Security Gaps in Oracle Environments
With enterprises accelerating migration to Oracle Cloud and expanding their use of AI tools, new vulnerabilities are emerging that demand proactive defense. The Centroid–Stellar Cyber partnership is designed to fill gaps in Oracle-focused security by integrating with Oracle Fusion applications, Oracle Cloud Guard, Data Safe, Firewall, and other key OCI services.
The offering provides a unified Security Operations Center (SOC) tailored for Oracle customers, delivering around-the-clock monitoring and response. By leveraging Stellar Cyber’s advanced threat detection, Centroid enables businesses to guard against phishing, ransomware, insider threats, and cloud-specific risks.
Andrew Homer, channel chief and vice president of strategic alliances at Stellar Cyber, emphasized the depth of integration. “There isn’t a single SIEM [security information and event management] or NDR [network detection and response] provider that has deeper integrations than Stellar Cyber,” he said.
Managed Security For Multi-Cloud and AI Challenges
Beyond Oracle, Stellar Cyber supports Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Google Cloud, allowing organizations running multi-cloud strategies to manage threats across platforms. This cross-cloud visibility is increasingly critical as enterprises diversify their IT infrastructure.
Homer noted that while cloud adoption improves scalability and efficiency, it introduces unique risks. “Migrating to the cloud may come with benefits over on-premises environments, but it creates new threat opportunities,” he said. The new managed security service helps businesses address AI-driven sprawl, detect anomalous behavior, and apply playbook-driven incident response for faster remediation.
Centroid’s managed security service provider (MSSP) offering incorporates AI-driven detection, intrusion prevention, and automation to minimize the window of vulnerability. It also provides service augmentation for organizations with existing IT teams, enabling co-management that reduces operational risk and costs.
Key Capabilities and Benefits
The new security service includes:
- 24/7 Security Operations – Real-time monitoring and threat hunting to protect Oracle workloads continuously.
- AI-Powered Threat Detection – Leveraging user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) and network detection response (NDR) for advanced visibility.
- OCI Connector – A custom-built integration with Oracle security tools for streamlined operations.
- Automated Playbooks – Predefined responses that accelerate incident resolution and limit exposure.
- Threat Intelligence Platform – Enabling organizations to anticipate and counter evolving attack techniques.
For enterprises, the solution means stronger defense without adding complexity. “By having a specialized services provider now co-managing those customers’ environments, it just further reduces the risk, helps them decrease the cost,” Homer said. “Ultimately, at the end of the day, companies don’t want to be breached.”
Shaping the Future of Oracle Security
Crucially, the Centroid–Stellar Cyber partnership reflects a shift in enterprise cybersecurity strategy: moving away from bolt-on tools toward integrated, service-driven models. With cyberattacks growing in sophistication and frequency, Oracle customers now gain access to a specialized solution combining deep Oracle expertise with Stellar Cyber’s advanced security analytics.
As more enterprises pursue digital transformation, the Centroid–Stellar Cyber partnership offers a roadmap for reducing risk in both cloud and hybrid environments. By uniting automation, AI, and Oracle integration, the collaboration delivers enhanced protection at a time when security resilience is critical.
