Orca Security

What it does

Orca Security is an agentless cloud security platform that provides unified visibility into security risks across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud - without requiring agents installed on every workload. Its SideScanning technology reads cloud workload data directly from the cloud provider APIs, creating a full asset inventory and risk graph without operational overhead. AI capabilities include Orca AI, a natural language interface for querying cloud security posture, AI-powered risk prioritization that identifies which vulnerabilities pose actual attack path risk versus theoretical risk, and automated remediation guidance with specific code or configuration fixes. Orca replaces the need for multiple point security tools - CSPM, vulnerability management, workload protection, and cloud detection and response - with a single platform.

Strengths

• Mid-market cloud-first engineering teams use Orca to gain security visibility across their cloud environment without the operational burden of agent deployment - AI prioritization helping small security teams focus on what actually matters.
• Enterprise cloud security teams use Orca as the unified security platform across multi-cloud environments - replacing CSPM, vulnerability management, and workload protection point tools with a single risk graph.
• Orca Security is an agentless cloud security platform that provides unified visibility into security risks across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud - without requiring agents installed on every workload.

Watch-outs

• Agentless means some runtime blind spots: Orca's agentless approach provides broad coverage quickly but misses some runtime behavioral signals that agent-based tools capture — organizations needing deep runtime threat detection may use Orca alongside an agent-based EDR.
• Remediation still requires human action: Orca surfaces risks and provides remediation guidance but does not auto-remediate — engineering teams must still implement the fixes, which requires capacity and prioritization within the team.
• Pricing is enterprise-level: Orca's pricing is based on cloud workload units and scales with cloud footprint — organizations with large cloud environments can face significant costs relative to narrower-scope point security tools.

Pricing

Orca Security does not publish standard pricing. Pricing is based on number of cloud workloads (assets). Mid-market contracts typically start around $50,000 to $100,000 annually. Enterprise contracts negotiated.
