Integrated Runtime Security for Cloud Detection & Response

Why a new approach is needed

Existing Solutions Present Obstacles to Effective Runtime Protection

For modern organizations operating across multi-cloud and hybrid environments, runtime protection must go wherever workloads do—whether public cloud, private cloud, or on-prem. Existing solutions fall short, either by requiring heavyweight agents or by lacking unified coverage across diverse infrastructures.

Legacy solutions require installing heavyweight agents on every workload to achieve coverage across public, private, and on-prem environments, adding operational overhead and performance trade-offs.

Combining runtime and agentless protection often forces teams to juggle disconnected tools, fragmenting risk context and wasting time across multiple consoles.

Legacy runtime tools often flood teams with alerts and lack context, making it difficult to prioritize threats effectively in complex and diverse environments.

Heavyweight agent-based tools prevent future flexibility and innovation by saddling organizations with legacy technology they must accommodate instead of vice versa.

How Orca Sensor works

Lightweight Runtime Protection Designed for Multi-Cloud and Hybrid-Cloud Environments

Orca Sensor is a next-generation runtime security solution that reduces the overhead, complexity, and instability associated with legacy agent-first tools. It delivers rich, real-time telemetry that enhances the Orca Platform and provides proactive and preventative protection across public cloud, private cloud, and on-premises environments.

Fast deployment with minimal maintenance

As a lightweight eBPF-based solution, Orca Sensor deploys rapidly across diverse infrastructure—multi-cloud and hybrid cloud—with minimal maintenance and automatic updates. It supports fast time to value and seamless automation for runtime protection wherever your workloads reside—whether public cloud, private cloud, or on-premises environments.

Real-time monitoring, detection, and prevention capabilities

Sensor enhances Orca’s deep cloud visibility by providing a real-time view of activity, threats, and malicious behavior flows. Authored by Orca’s Threat Research team, Sensor’s runtime detections identify threats like malware, reverse shells, container escapes, and privilege escalations, enabling swift detection and prevention across diverse environments.

Comprehensive and customizable detection policies

Sensor offers an extensive library of built-in runtime detections with the ability to create custom policies as needed, allowing organizations to tailor detections by type, scope, and desired enforcement.

Runtime protection that augments agentless-first coverage

Sensor delivers real-time visibility and protection that natively integrates with the Orca Cloud Security Platform and builds on Orca’s agentless-first approach to Cloud Detection and Response.

Monitor runtime activity across public cloud, private cloud, and on-premises environments from a single, unified Platform.
Secure workloads across Linux, Kubernetes, and Windows environments, including servers and workstations.
