Why a new approach is needed
Existing Solutions Present Obstacles to Effective Runtime Protection
For some organizations, protecting sensitive workloads demands runtime visibility and protection—capabilities that go beyond the scope of agentless solutions. Yet legacy, agent-based tools result in complex and time-consuming deployments, tedious maintenance, high TCO, performance degradation, and more—nullifying the benefits of real-time protection while leaving you at greater risk.
Legacy agent-based solutions require installing agents on every workload in order to achieve complete coverage.
Combining runtime and agentless protection often forces organizations to cobble together disparate solutions that compete for your teams’ attention and silo risk intelligence and security capabilities.
Legacy runtime tools often lack the ability to contextualize and prioritize risks effectively, placing the onus on security teams while flooding them with real-time alerts destined for their backlog.
Traditional agent-based tools prevent future flexibility and innovation by saddling organizations with legacy technology they must accommodate instead of vice versa.
How Orca sesnor works
Lightweight Runtime Protection Designed for the Cloud
Orca Sensor is our next-generation, non-intrusive runtime security solution that dramatically reduces the deployment and management overhead, potential instability, and performance impact of agent-based tools. Sensor delivers rich telemetry that extends the capabilities of the Orca Platform and offers the perfect blend of proactive and preventative security.

Fast deployment with minimal maintenance
A lightweight, eBPF-based solution, Orca Sensor deploys quickly, supporting various configurations and automatic updates to ensure quick time to value, DevOps-friendly automation, and runtime protection that works according to your schedule, not the other way around.
Real-time monitoring, detection, and prevention capabilities
Sensor builds on the comprehensive risk discovery of the Orca Platform, providing a real-time view of activity, threats, and malicious behavior flows with runtime detections authored by Orca’s Threat Research team.
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.
The perfect complement to preventative, agentless security
Sensor uses eBPF—a non-intrusive observability technology with low-latency—to deliver runtime visibility and protection that natively integrates with the Orca Cloud Security Platform. Orca Sensor builds on Orca’s agentless-first approach to Cloud Detection and Response by providing runtime visibility, detection, investigation, and prevention optimized for cloud-native applications.


Enabling the future of security through a Unified Platform
Integrated with the Orca Platform, Orca Sensor enables future improvements in vulnerability, support for non-cloud workload visibility, and more. The solution extends the capabilities of Orca, while providing organizations with the flexibility to stay innovative and secure.
