Orca Sensor

Runtime Visibility and Protection for Cloud and AI

Get advanced cloud detection and response (CDR) and runtime AI security without the cumbersome deployments, tedious maintenance, high total cost of ownership (TCO), and performance degradation of heavyweight agent-based solutions.

The Challenge

Traditional Cloud Agents Were Never Built to Scale

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, lacking unified coverage across diverse infrastructures, or missing runtime AI activity.

Heavyweight agents require operational overhead costs and performance trade-offs in order to achieve blanket coverage.

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.

Our Approach

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.

Know your true cloud exposure and prove to the board your risk is under control.

Govern every AI system in your cloud before it becomes a liability on your watch.

Catch risky code before it reaches production.

Harden every cloud workload without slowing your pipelines down.

Catch cloud and AI attacks as they unfold and contain the blast radius.

Defend with Confidence

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

  • 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.
  • Leverage eBPF-based, non-intrusive technology that delivers runtime visibility and protection with minimal performance impact and low-latency.
  • Take advantage of a comprehensive library of advanced runtime detections that automatically alert on active threats and can be configured to terminate processes.

Know What Risks Attackers Can Actually Reach

Sensor enhances vulnerability management by identifying whether a vulnerable package is actually being executed, so your team can focus remediation where it counts.

  • Detect every vulnerable package executed effortlessly, automatically, and continuously. 
  • Catch even the most sophisticated threats that only surface in production including malware and exploits executed in memory. 
  • Leverage deeply integrated capabilities that augment Orca’s Agentless Reachability Analysis, which detects vulnerable container packages that are potentially executable.

Detect Dangerous AI Activity in Real Time

Orca monitors AI workloads at runtime, detecting model exfiltration attempts, prompt injection patterns, unusual inference traffic, configuration drift, and more.
