Control: 4.15 Ensure a notification is configured for Oracle Cloud Guard problems detected

Description

Cloud Guard detects misconfigured resources and insecure activity within a tenancy and provides security administrators with the visibility to resolve these issues. Upon detection, Cloud Guard generates a Problem. It is recommended to setup an Event Rule and Notification that gets triggered when Oracle Cloud Guard Problems are created, dismissed or remediated. Event Rules are compartment scoped and will detect events in child compartments. It is recommended to create the Event rule at the root compartment level.

Cloud Guard provides an automated means to monitor a tenancy for resources that are configured in an insecure manner as well as risky network activity from these resources. Monitoring and alerting on Problems detected by Cloud Guard will help in identifying changes to the security posture.
