Orca Security

About Orca Security

Orca Security provides a cloud security platform that covers code, cloud, and AI environments. The platform finds AI models, packages, and agents running across a company's cloud, including shadow AI. It unifies cloud posture, identity permissions, workload security, sensitive data exposure, and runtime threats into one view. It scans code, dependencies, infrastructure as code, images, and secrets and scores findings against cloud context. The company uses a patented agentless technology called SideScanning for coverage of cloud environments. Orca connects to accounts without deploying agents to provide prioritized risk information.

Products

  • Orca SideScanning™: Performs agentless scanning across every workload.
  • Orca Sensor: Provides runtime observability and protection.
  • Orca Workflows: Automates response processes by chaining actions, delays, approvals, and scheduled runs into playbooks.
  • Orca CSPM: Links misconfigurations to the identities, workloads, and data around them.

Used for

  • Finding every AI model, package, and agent running across cloud environments, including shadow AI.
  • Mapping chains of attack that put critical assets at risk by combining misconfigurations, identity risks, and lateral movement.
  • Scanning code, dependencies, IaC, images, and secrets for risk.
  • Connecting to alerting, ticketing, and SIEM tools such as Slack, Jira, and SIEM systems.
  • Populating and continuously updating a ServiceNow CMDB with cloud resource data.

Who it is for

  • Used by enterprises described as security-driven.
  • Used by developers to fix exploitable code issues.

How to evaluate Cloud Security & CSPM

This is how the CIOPages Research Team evaluates this category. It is not an assessment of Orca Security. It comes from our Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) buyer guide.

25%
Risk Prioritization & Attack-Path Analysis
Context graph that correlates misconfiguration, internet reachability, identity/permissions, vulnerabilities, secrets, and data sensitivity into ranked attack paths to crown-jewel assets; toxic-combination detection; quality of the “fix these 10” output versus raw finding volume; false-positive rate in your own accounts
20%
Coverage Model: Agentless Breadth vs. Runtime Depth
Agentless snapshot/API scanning for fast 100%-estate visibility versus agent/eBPF runtime for in-production threat detection (CDR); container, serverless, and Kubernetes (KSPM) coverage; how the two models combine without double-counting; performance impact and deployment friction
20%
Multi-Cloud & Platform Consolidation (CNAPP)
Depth and parity across AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, and Kubernetes from one console; how many of CSPM, CIEM, CWPP, DSPM, KSPM, and code/IaC security are genuinely unified on one data model versus bolted-on acquisitions; single policy and one risk score across domains
15%
Identity & Entitlements (CIEM)
Effective-permission analysis across human and machine identities, cross-account and federated role mapping, detection of unused and over-privileged entitlements, least-privilege right-sizing recommendations, and privilege escalation / lateral-movement path discovery
10%
Remediation, Automation & Developer Workflow
Guided and auto-remediation, IaC and pull-request fixes (shift-left to code), guardrails that prevent drift, ticketing/SOAR integration, ownership routing to the right team, and API/Terraform coverage for security-as-code
10%
Compliance, Reporting & SOC Integration
Out-of-the-box frameworks (CIS, PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, FedRAMP, NIST) with custom policy authoring, audit-ready evidence and drift history, RBAC/SSO on the console, and clean export of correlated cloud risk into the SIEM/SOC rather than a siloed dashboard
