About Orca Security

The Orca Cloud Security Platform discovers risks across code, cloud, runtime, and AI. The platform unifies cloud posture, identity permissions, workload security, sensitive data at risk, and runtime threats into one connected view. Orca applies a risk score to each alert, considering severity, accessibility, exploitability, and business impact. Orca evaluates and prioritizes the paths to crown jewels, combining misconfigurations, identity risks, lateral movement and more.[4]

Orca Security offers a product area for knowing cloud exposure and proving to the board that risk is under control. Orca Security offers a product area for governing every AI system in the cloud. Orca finds every AI model, package, and agent running across a cloud, including shadow AI. AI AppGen Security is posture management for applications built on AI app generator platforms like Replit, Lovable, Vercel, and Bolt. AI AppGen Security continuously discovers apps built on those platforms, identifies the misconfigurations they ship with by default, and connects each finding to the surrounding cloud environment. AI AppGen Security is a capability within Orca's existing AI Security, not a standalone tool. Orca AI includes Core Agents, a natural-language AI Assistant, and an MCP Server, all grounded in Orca's Unified Data Model.[4][8][10][11]

Orca scans code, dependencies, IaC, images, and secrets agentlessly and prioritizes each finding by what is reachable and exposed in the running cloud. Orca scores every code vulnerability against live cloud context: reachability, internet exposure, identity permissions, and proximity to sensitive data. Orca generates SBOMs and flags vulnerable and license-risky open-source packages before they ship. Orca pushes findings and context straight into the IDE, repos, and ticketing tools that developers use. For high-impact issues, Orca drafts AI-generated fixes and opens pull requests. Orca's AppSec Triage Agent uses code context to automatically deprioritize false positives and escalate true positives.[12]

Orca Security offers a product area for hardening every cloud workload without slowing pipelines down. SideScanning™ technology covers VMs, containers, and serverless, and cloud infrastructure resources such as storage buckets, VPCs, and KMS keys. Orca Security offers a product area for catching cloud and AI attacks as they unfold and containing the blast radius. Orca Sensor provides runtime visibility and protection that extends the capabilities of the Orca Cloud Security Platform. Orca Sensor monitors runtime activity across public cloud, private cloud, and on-premises environments. Orca Sensor secures workloads across Linux, Kubernetes, and Windows environments, including servers and workstations. Orca Sensor uses eBPF-based technology to deliver runtime visibility and protection. Orca Sensor includes a library of runtime detections that alert on active threats and can be configured to terminate processes. Orca Sensor identifies whether a vulnerable package is actually being executed. Orca monitors AI workloads at runtime, detecting model exfiltration attempts, prompt injection patterns, unusual inference traffic, and configuration drift.[1][4][8]

Orca offers API Security to identify, prioritize, and address API misconfigurations and security risks across a cloud estate, without agents or network changes. Orca provides security teams with a full inventory of APIs and related web domains in their cloud estate, and API-related security and compliance risks, without agents. Orca continuously monitors API behavior and usage and alerts teams to potentially unwanted API drift. Orca scans a cloud estate and surfaces potentially hazardous API security risks, providing actionable data and remediation suggestions. Orca provides linked alerts for adhering to compliance frameworks like PCI-DSS.[12][14]

Orca states that, since Orca is agentless-first, scanning can start as soon as cloud provider accounts are connected, without the need to install agents. Orca offers three deployment options: a SaaS platform, hosting in the customer's own boundary, and running from government cloud such as FedRAMP. Orca connects to Slack for alerting, Jira for ticketing, and SIEM platforms for streaming data.[8]
