Who 1Z0-1104-23 Was For

Cloud security professionals and infrastructure engineers with practical experience securing enterprise workloads. Candidates must shift their focus to the 1Z0-1104-24 exam to validate current Oracle Cloud Infrastructure security expertise.

Skills You Should Be Ready to Demonstrate

• Security Architecture on OCI
• Identity and Access Management
• Network Security
• Data Protection and Encryption
• Security Operations and Monitoring
• Vulnerability and Threat Management
• Governance and Compliance

How to Reuse Your Preparation

Since this exam is retired, do not attempt to register for it or purchase it for $245.00 USD. Prepare exclusively for the successor 1Z0-1104-24 instead. Core OCI security principles, encryption standards, and shared security models transfer directly, but you must study updated documentation for current service configurations.
