Orca Security
About Orca Security
Designed for organizations operating in the cloud who need complete, centralized visibility of their entire cloud estate and want more time and resources dedicated to remediating the actual risks that matter, Orca Security is an agentless cloud Security Platform that provides security teams with 100% coverage across their entire cloud environment.
Instead of layering multiple siloed tools together or deploying cumbersome agents, Orca combines two revolutionary approaches - SideScanning, that enables frictionless and complete coverage without the need to maintain agents, and the Unified Data Model, that allows centralized contextual analysis of your entire cloud estate. Together, Orca has created the most comprehensive cloud security platform available on the marketplace.
Key benefits of Orca Security
Rapid time to value:
By reading your cloud configuration and workloads’ runtime block storage out-of-band without agents, Orca deploys in minutes - surfacing the most critical risks without the performance impact, organizational friction, coverage gaps and operational costs of agent-based solutions.
Multiple tools in one:
As a CNAPP, Orca simplifies cloud security by replacing multiple tools with a single SaaS-based cloud security platform for workload protection (CWPP), cloud security posture management (CSPM), cloud infrastructure entitlements management (CIEM), including vulnerability management and compliance solutions.
Prioritize the 1% of alerts that matter:
Unlike other tools that operate in silos, Orca sees the big picture and prioritizes risk based on context, eliminating wasted time sifting through meaningless alerts and enabling you to focus on the 1% of truly critical issues.
Deploy once, secure forever:
Orca automatically detects and monitors new cloud assets as you add them, without requiring any manual updates.
Detect risks missed by other solutions:
Unlike other solutions, Orca leverages context-aware intelligence to recognize when seemingly unrelated issues can be combined to create dangerous attack paths leveraging lateral movement.
Instant ROI:
Orca eliminates countless IT hours spent installing and maintaining agents and sifting through thousands of low risk security alerts. By consolidating multiple tools in one platform, Orca increases efficiency and effectiveness and reduces licensing costs.
Faster time to market:
By integrating security and compliance into any CI/CD process, security gains control over the software development lifecycle while DevOps benefits from integrated security as part of their workflows.

Orca Security : intensive scrutiny of your cloud deployments

We feel that we've been able to significantly improve our organization's awareness across the board to security issues.
Pros
I appreciate how Orca Security does side-scanning, unobtrusively collecting information about our cloud deployments, and then submitting those records through intensive scrutiny. The scan results are compared against CVEs to establish prioritized lists for mitigation efforts
Cons
Integration of Orca Security with Microsoft Teams to provide realtime alerts when issues are detected is in it's infancy at present, and we had some troubles getting it going.

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.

Product Integration - It's as easy as they sell it. I had it up and running in multiple accounts in no time.
Support - Wonderful support and leadership team that cares about their customers.
Open API - Rich and open API that allows you to extend and build on top of the product.
Pros
The extensibility of the product, and how rich the API is. I can find out almost anything about my environment. Using Orca gives me insight into my entire cloud sprawl. I can get information about malware, open-ingress to EC2 instances, and open source vuln management. The only limit to its use is imagination.
Cons
Creating new alerts can be clunky. However, the Orca team is always improving and is currently working on a V2. Navigating the UI can be a bit of a challenge at times when looking for specific info. This is why I often opt for using the API over the UI.

Harmony Email & CollaborationReasons for Switching to Orca Security
I ended up choosing Dome9 because it's feature-rich, but bells-and-whistles light. It provides to me the most salient alerts and alarms, while not making too much noise. A lot of competitors' products are very opinionated, which can force a security organization to shape their processes around the tool. With Orca it's the opposite, the tool is powerful, lightweight and malleable.Orca Security FAQs
