- **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).
- **Federation:** Configure federated identity management (e.g., using [MS EntraID](https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Identity/Concepts/federation.htm)) to streamline user access.
- **Federation:** Configure federated identity management (e.g., using [MS EntraID](https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Identity/tutorials/azure_ad/sso_azure/azure_sso.htm) or [OKTA](https://docs.oracle.com/en/learn/integrating-identity-domains-with-okta/index.html#introduction)) to streamline user access.

- **Landing Zone Workload Extensions:** A workload extension is a tangible and self-contained set of resources with a clear functional scope, pluggable to a Landing Zone. They have a design and an implementation ready to receive a specific workloads on top of a landing zone. Each of these extensions follows the [tailored landing zone approach and is ready for deployment](https://github.com/oci-landing-zones/oci-landing-zone-operating-entities/tree/master/workload-extensions)

- **Bring Your Own Image (BYOI):** If needed, you can manually provision resources through the [OCI Console](https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/GSG/Tasks/launchinginstance.htm) or automate tasks with the [OCI CLI](https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/API/Concepts/cliconcepts.htm), including [Bring Your Own Image](https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Compute/References/bringyourownimage.htm)
- **Assess OCI security posture against best practises outlined in the OCI CIS benchmark:** Available are the [OCI Security Health Check - Standard Edition](https://github.com/oracle-devrel/technology-engineering/tree/main/security/security-design/shared-assets/oci-security-health-check-standard) and the OCI Security Health Check - Advanced Edition. The OCI Security Health Check - Advanced Edition can be requested by raising a service request.
