The Orca Cloud Security Platform is designed to manage and secure multi-cloud environments. At its core, Orca leverages its patented SideScanning™ technology, which is agentless and connects to your cloud environment in minutes, offering deep and wide visibility without the need for agents. For critical workloads, Orca also provides a lightweight agent option for real-time protection.
The platform integrates multiple cloud security capabilities, including Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), Cloud Workload Protection (CWPP), Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM), and Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), among others. This unified approach eliminates the need for multiple siloed security tools, enabling faster and more effective security outcomes. Orca's AI-driven capabilities enhance risk prioritization by applying granular risk scores and identifying combined attack paths that could compromise critical assets.
Operationally, Orca integrates into the CI/CD process, shifting security left to ensure applications are secured from code to cloud. It also provides automated remediation and pre-deployment IaC scanning, reducing the workload on security and DevOps teams. However, the platform's effectiveness can be limited by the complexity of the cloud environment and the volume of data it needs to process, potentially impacting query performance and costs, especially in large-scale multi-account setups.
Technically, Orca offers visibility into all IaaS and PaaS assets, including EC2 instances, containers, and S3 buckets, using account-level read-only permissions. It rapidly detects compromises, vulnerabilities, and risky configurations without impacting the assets themselves. The platform supports over 100 out-of-the-box compliance frameworks and custom checks, ensuring comprehensive regulatory compliance across multiple cloud platforms.
