Introduction to the Oracle Utilities Live Energy Connect V25.12.0.0.0 Security Guide.

Welcome to the Oracle Utilities Live Energy Connect V25.12.0.0.0 Security Guide. This security guide provides an overview of the Oracle Utilities Live Energy Connect (LEC) V25.12.0.0.0 security process and covers the following:

• Establishing machine-level roles and security policies limiting access to the system on which LEC is deployed.
• Setting appropriate firewall rules to limit security vulnerabilities.
• Specific protocol security measures.

Audience

This guide is intended for system, network, and security administrators tasked with installing, configuring, and maintaining Oracle Utilities Live Energy Connect.

It covers the following topics:

• Installing system prerequisites and the Oracle Utilities Live Energy Connect software.
• Setting appropriate firewall rules to limit security vulnerabilities.
• Specific protocol security measures.

Prerequisites

Oracle Linux 9 (OL9) must be installed on the target host prior to installing Oracle Utilities Live Energy Connect. An additional dependency, the Oracle Cloud Native Environment (OCNE) framework, must be downloaded and installed separately to the host system.

It is strongly recommended that the OL9 operating system be installed with a security profile such as NIST 800-171 and that OpenSCAP be used periodically to confirm security compliance for the host system.

Oracle Utilities Live Energy Connect will typically be deployed to on-premises systems that are air-gapped, with no direct public network access. Procedures should be in place to push critical updates and patches of OL9 and OCNE to production systems in a timely fashion.

Note:

See the Oracle Linux documentation on Oracle Help Center for details.
