About Orca Security
Got more than 100 cloud assets? Orca Security is a cloud security platform designed to help businesses detect and identify vulnerabilities, malware, misconfigurations, weak and leaked passwords, lateral movement risk, and high-risk data across Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) environments.
Orca SideScanning™ technology is a radically better approach because Orca doesn’t go inside each workload to fetch data. Instead, it uses an out-of-band process to reach cloud workloads through the runtime storage layer and combines this with metadata gathered from cloud provider APIs. In this way, Orca is able to provide deep and contextualized visibility of cloud environments. It covers 100% of an organization’s assets with absolutely no agent or network scanner.
Orca Security prioritizes risk after assessing the relationships between assets, and can notify IT DevOps and security teams about threats through Slack, and initiate remediation workflows in Jira and ServiceNow. Orca enables businesses to identify unsecured high-risk data such as personally identifiable information (PII), and helps meet compliance mandates such as PCI, HIPAA, CIS, ISO 2700, SOC2, CCPA, and GDPR.
Administrators can use an Open API to connect the system with third-party cloud providers to retrieve data, synchronize processes, and configure Orca Security's dashboard according to business requirements.

Key benefits of Orca Security
Detects all important risks in cloud environments—both workload and control plane.
Security teams don’t have to update agents or signature packs to get a hold of the latest data, because Orca curates dozens of vulnerability, exploit, threat intelligence, malware, and leaked password databases to give customers the widest coverage from day one.
Integrates with any cloud environment in minutes without any side effects on performance and availability.
Since there’s no reliance on per-asset integration, customers don’t have to settle for partial deployment and visibility. Even paused or stopped machines are brought to light.
Prioritizes alerts based on all available data, presenting a manageable number of alerts.
Alerts can automatically push to Slack, or customers can click a button to kick-off workflows in Jira or ServiceNow along with each alert’s precise path to remediation.
Orca eases compliance efforts and tracks progress against industry standards. For example, Orca helps meet compliance mandates such as PCI, HIPAA, CIS, SOC2, ISO 2700, CCPA, and GDPR by showing regulators evidence of the customer’s ability to identify and protect PII—as well as their ability to systematically detect vulnerabilities, malware, and improperly secured secrets.

We switched to a custom Linux Kernel that agent based VMS could not support. Orca was the only solution that we found that could solve our use case.
Pros
Orca is an agentless approach to VMS. This means there is 0 user impact or performance degradation. Your Operations team does not have to manage agent roll out, it also does not need to manage upgrades/downtime. This saves you operating costs and allows your Ops team to focus on other security items.
Orca is OS agnostic, it does not matter what your development/architecture team decides to pivot to. Orca supports Windows/Linux/Mac/Containerization. It also is Cloud agnostic, have subs in Azure or AWS? Orca can handle them all with a few clicks.
The entire roll out took around 10 minutes.
Cons
There are features missing in Orca from a nice to have stand point. The product is fairly new and a lot of these enhancements are being worked on. The Orca team has been very responsive to enhancements thus far.

Orca solves several problems we regularly face including producing asset inventories, helping with compliance, and providing focussed mitigation of security vulnerabilities. Orca's dashboards provide the necessary insights into the latest threats to allow a more focused application of security resources.
Pros
Orca's agentless side-scanning techniques mean that all assets are automatically scanned - even if not running. Their dashboards provide an intuitive, easy to digest view of the current state of application security without being swamped by alerts and information. Orca provides an excellent way of producing an inventory of assets - particularly useful for ephemeral assets that are perpetually being created and destroyed. The compliance feature is also useful for auditing purposes. The recently introduced attack paths feature shows graphically how an attacker could gain access and potentially pivot through the system.
Cons
Because of the way Orca's side-scanning technology works using snapshots, the downside is that the scanning is not performed in real-time so cannot provide true xDR capabilities. It would also be useful if older alerts were automatically dismissed after a while when the vulnerability is no longer detected. This would help to reduce the total number of vulnerabilities and alerts that are displayed in the dashboards.
