Orca Security

Orca Security is a privately held cybersecurity software company focused on securing cloud-native applications and multi-cloud estates. Its flagship Orca Cloud Security Platform is an AI-powered Cloud Native Application Protection Platform built on patented SideScanning technology and a Unified Data Model, giving organizations agentless-first visibility into cloud assets, workloads, identities, data, APIs, applications, runtime activity, and AI services from a single environment.

Orca Security positions the platform around rapid deployment, contextual risk prioritization, and remediation workflows that connect security, DevOps, and development teams. Its portfolio extends from posture management and workload protection to application security, runtime protection, compliance, and AI security, with marketplace presence across AWS Marketplace, Azure Marketplace, and Google Cloud Marketplace.

Offerings, Capabilities, and Integrations

Orca Security delivers a unified, agentless-first platform that spans posture, workload, identity, data, API, application, compliance, runtime, and AI security. Its patented SideScanning approach reads cloud configuration and workload storage out-of-band for broad coverage with low operational friction, while Orca Sensor adds lightweight runtime telemetry and protection for teams that need real-time detection and response.

Orca Security emphasizes contextual risk prioritization, attack path analysis, reachability analysis, and remediation workflows that trace issues from production back to code. The platform integrates with cloud-native and enterprise tools across SIEM, SOAR, ticketing, collaboration, repositories, CI/CD, and identity systems, including AWS services, Microsoft Azure services, Google Cloud services, GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, Jira, ServiceNow, Slack, Splunk, Datadog, Okta, PagerDuty, and Snowflake.

Products and Services

  • Cloud Native Application Protection: Flagship AI-powered CNAPP that unifies visibility, prioritization, and remediation across cloud infrastructure, workloads, applications, runtime, and AI risk.
