Orca Security – Providing Agentless, Workload-Deep, Context-Aware Security, and Compliance for AWS, Azure, and GCP

Cloud Computing is the best way to achieve digital agility across your enterprise. Moving your data, infrastructure, and applications from on-premise hardware to the cloud supports the productivity of your hybrid workforce. While always-on availability and collaborative communication are huge benefits of cloud computing, the challenge of securing a perimeter that is in constant motion is best left to those experienced in delivering secure cloud services. Many companies have rapidly implemented cloud solutions within the last two years to accommodate remote work. But the hasty migration may have increased attack surfaces and led to wasteful technology acquisitions, insecure data transfers, and compliance issues. Cloud solutions must be addressed as part of your overall security posture to maximize the benefits of data reliability, availability, and security.

Orca Security is a leader in cloud security and provides cloud-wide, workload-deep security and compliance for AWS, Azure, and GCP － without the gaps in coverage, alert fatigue, and operational costs of agents. Unlike competing tools that operate in silos, Orca treats your cloud as an interconnected web of assets, prioritizing risk based on the severity of the underlying security issue combined with environmental context, including its accessibility and potential damage to the business. This does away with thousands of meaningless security alerts to provide just the critical few that matter, along with their precise path to remediation. With Orca, security teams can query cloud estate data to quickly access essential intelligence and automatically assign cloud security issues to specific teams for more efficient triage, remediation, and compliance management.

Revolutionary Cloud security Platform Offered to Organizations

Orca’s SideScanning™: Leverage Orca's agentless cloud-native security and compliance platform to gain complete visibility and coverage into AWS, Azure, and GCP in a fraction of the time and operational costs of alternative solutions. Unlike parasitic agents that sit inside your workloads SideScanning collects data externally. With read-only access to the workloads' runtime block storage, Orca creates a complete risk profile of your cloud estate in minutes, not months. Orca’s SideScanning allows you to achieve complete visibility and coverage without sending a single packet over the network or running a single line of code in your environment. The result: no downtime and no impact on workloads or users. An abundance of cloud security data is available, but it is difficult to consume and act on. This leads to inefficient workflows between security, DevOps, and IT, resulting in organizational friction and critical alerts being missed. Orca uses a simple, yet expressive query language that offers three core capabilities: advanced querying, alerting, and automation. Write custom alert queries or leverage over 600 system queries that are available out-of-the-box. If you can query it, you can monitor it. Automate your cloud security by creating custom alerts from queries and integrating these into existing remediation workflows with Orca’s auto-ticketing support.

Orca’s Context Engine: Security teams waste valuable time manually correlating high volume, low-risk alert data from multiple security tools. These alerts lack prioritization and actionable details leaving you to do all the heavy lifting. Say goodbye to guesswork, false positives, and alert fatigue. Orca is the only vendor that effectively prioritizes risks and threats across your entire cloud estate by leveraging context-aware security intelligence to examine all potential attack paths. Orca's graph-based visualization maps all your cloud assets and relationships from an attacker's perspective so you can accurately assess your cloud security posture. Orca prioritizes risk based on the most likely attack vectors and paths to your vulnerable assets. A clear remediation plan with simple mitigation instructions integrates seamlessly within your existing workflow, improving your team's efficiency and effectiveness. Orca leverages a Domain Specific Language that enables users to create powerful contextual queries. With built-in templates and an intuitive query builder, anyone can query their data and create custom alerts—no development experience required. Orca detects risks and vulnerabilities that could enable lateral movement in your cloud estate and recommends remediation steps to strengthen your security posture.

Built-in cloud compliance: Achieve regulatory compliance at cloud scale. Instantly cover 100 percent of your cloud estate, address compliance gaps, and replace multiple, disparate tools. Demonstrate evidence of your ability to find and protect sensitive data like PII. Orca uniquely recognizes where sensitive data is stored across your cloud estate and alerts you to potential exploitation paths. Orca supports full customization and automation including auto-ticketing capabilities for multiple workflow and notification systems such as Jira, ServiceNow, Slack, and PagerDuty. Get actionable intelligence in front of the right teams at the right time with cloud security automation and customization. Prioritize, customize, and integrate alerts into your existing workflows to improve efficiency, expedite remediation, and increase ROI. Orca includes queries that map directly to compliance controls across all key frameworks, including PCI-DSS, AWS CIS, Azure CIS, GCP CIS, Docker CIS, Orca Best Practices, and many more.
