Orca Security
Best Cybersecurity Company
Overview
Orca Security is the cloud security company helping organizations secure multi-cloud, hybrid, and AI-driven environments without slowing innovation. Orca's cloud-agnostic, all-in-one security workspace delivers immediate visibility, risk prioritization, and remediation guidance across AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, private cloud, and hybrid environments.
Built on patented SideScanning™ technology and a Unified Data Model, Orca gives Security, IT, and DevOps teams a single source of truth across cloud infrastructure, workloads, identities, vulnerabilities, applications, data, and AI systems. The platform helps organizations cut through alert fatigue, understand which risks matter most, and act quickly without the operational burden of traditional agent-based tools.
Key Capabilities
Orca brings cloud security teams what they need most: context, speed, and action. The platform consolidates CSPM, CWPP, CIEM, vulnerability management, AppSec, runtime visibility, AI Security Posture Management, AI Assistant, and autonomous remediation into a single connected workspace.
In 2025, Orca accelerated its AI and runtime security strategy with several major advancements. The company expanded protection to hybrid and private cloud environments, launched AI-SPM detections to help protect AI models and training pipelines, and introduced safeguards for sensitive AI training data. It also advanced AppSec directly into CI/CD workflows and introduced Orca Sensor for continuous runtime visibility from code to cloud to runtime.
Orca also acquired Opus to pioneer agentic AI-powered cloud security remediation, enabling autonomous detection and resolution of cloud security issues and shortening response time from hours to seconds. Orca became the first cloud security platform to support the Model Context Protocol, helping customers apply consistent security across generative AI models without vendor lock-in.
How we are different
AI has turned cloud security into a scale problem. Engineers are shipping more code, deploying more services, connecting more systems, and moving faster than ever. At the same time, AI is accelerating attacks, shrinking the window for manual investigation and response. Security teams cannot solve that reality with more point tools, more alerts, or more fragmented data.
Orca does not just tell teams what is wrong. It helps them understand what matters, who owns it, and how to fix it. By continuously mapping how assets, permissions, identities, vulnerabilities, and exposures connect in the real world, Orca reconstructs the true attack surface and correlates risk into prioritized attack paths that reflect how breaches actually happen.
Agentless Reachability helps identify vulnerabilities that are actually reachable at runtime and allows organizations to safely deprioritize up to 90–95% of noise. The AI Security Assistant lets practitioners ask natural-language questions, identify priority alerts, find remediation steps, and move from investigation to action in seconds. Orca Sensor has surpassed 150,000 deployments, AI-SPM is used by more than 20% of customers, and Agentless Reachability is used by more than 40% of customers.
This architectural view is especially important in AI-driven environments, where risk often comes from how systems are connected, what data they can access, and what they are allowed to do – not from any single misconfiguration or vulnerability in isolation.
This is Orca's core difference – it moves cloud security from endless alerting to intelligent resolution. Orca gives teams one place to see risk, understand context, and act with confidence, making security a strategic advantage rather than a drag on innovation.
