Oracle Launches Fusion Claw, an OpenClaw-Inspired Runtime for Its Enterprise AI Apps

Unsanctioned agents. Borrowed credentials. Agents exceeding orders. These are the things that keep enterprise security teams up at night. Software vendors have shipped tools to rein them in, but Okta argues those efforts are piecemeal. It’s like trying to empty the ocean with a teaspoon.
