We are excited to announce that the Orca Cloud Security Platform has been recognized as a Trust Award finalist in the Best Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP) and Best Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) categories for the 2022 SC Media Awards. Now in its 25th year, the SC Awards are cybersecurity’s most prestigious and competitive program. Finalists are recognized for outstanding solutions, organizations, and people driving innovation and success in information security.
The 2022 SC Awards were the most competitive to date, with a record 800 entries received across 38 categories – a 21% increase over 2021. Entries for the SC Awards were judged by a world-class panel of industry leaders, from sectors including healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, consulting, and education, among others.
“Orca Security and other Trust award finalists reflect astonishing levels of innovation across the information security industry, and underscore vendor resilience and responsiveness to a rapidly evolving threat landscape,” said Jill Aitoro, Senior Vice President of Content Strategy at CyberRisk Alliance. “We are so proud to recognize leading products, people and companies through a trusted program that continues to attract both new entrants and industry mainstays that come back year after year.”
We are especially honored to be named as a finalist in both categories, since we believe that what truly sets Orca Security apart is the fact that the Orca Cloud Security Platform unifies CSPM and CWPP capabilities in a single, agentless platform.
Instead of using agents, Orca’s SideScanningTM technology reads the workloads’ runtime block storage to obtain deep insight into workloads with 100% visibility across all assets. Combining this with configuration data pulled from cloud provider APIs, Orca is able to detect vulnerabilities, malware, misconfigurations, sensitive data at risk, IAM risk, lateral movement risk in cloud assets as well as in IaC templates and container images.
“Orca was built from the ground up with a unified data model, consolidating cloud workload, configuration, entitlement security, and sensitive data discovery in one platform,” said Avi Shua, CEO of Orca Security. “This model enables Orca to understand the full context of risks to accurately determine risk priority and recognize when seemingly unrelated issues can be combined to create dangerous attack paths.”
Orca’s agentless Cloud Security Platform provides the following significant benefits:
Orca Security is trusted by global innovators, including Databricks, NCR, Autodesk, Lemonade, and Gannett. Here is what some of our customers say:
“After years of dealing with agents, then seeing how easy it is to install and use Orca, I knew that its agentless approach was both a major innovation and a game changer.”
– Jeremy Turner, Senior Cloud Security Engineer, Paidy
“With Orca, we have our AWS configuration under control. We have over 12,000 assets. Currently – right at this moment – only three of them are listed as a priority to fix. That’s fantastic, particularly when you consider how frequently cloud environments change.” –
Jonathan Jaffe, CISO, Lemonade
