Orca Security Addresses Complex Cloud Security Needs
Prior to partnering with Orca Security, CHEQ faced significant challenges in achieving comprehensive visibility and control over their complex, hybrid cloud environment. CISO Barak Blima explains, “Traditional security tools struggled to keep pace with the dynamic nature of our cloud workloads and the ever-evolving threat landscape. This lack of centralized visibility made it difficult to identify and prioritize vulnerabilities.”
Adding to the complexity, CHEQ faced constant pressure to comply with stringent data privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA. The growing number of integrations between core systems and third-party applications in their multi-cloud environment further complicated their security efforts.
Having used Orca Security in a previous role, CHEQ’s CISO was familiar with their expertise in AI and data-driven security solutions. “Orca’s capabilities are perfectly aligned with our desire for comprehensive visibility, control, and proactive threat management,” Blima notes.
Orca Enables Powerful Cloud Security Outcomes
Since implementing Orca, CHEQ has experienced a dramatic improvement in their security posture. The Orca Security Platform addressed CHEQ’s challenges through several key features:
- Agentless Architecture: Provided complete visibility into CHEQ’s cloud environment without deploying agents, streamlining security operations.
- Risk Prioritization: Enabled CHEQ to focus resources on the most critical threats by prioritizing vulnerabilities based on potential impact.
- Attack Path Analysis & Cloud Detection: Reduced CHEQ’s attack surface by identifying potential attack paths and continuously monitoring the environment for new assets and configurations.
- API Security & Data Security: Enhanced protection of sensitive customer data with comprehensive API security features and robust data security measures.
- Automated Compliance Reporting: Simplified audit processes and freed up security team resources by automating evidence collection.
The Value is in the Results
The partnership with Orca Security has yielded significant benefits for CHEQ:
“Orca Security has helped us reduce our overall security risk by 35% through improved vulnerability management and threat detection,” Blima reports. “We’ve also seen a 20% decrease in critical vulnerabilities.”
Blima highlights a specific example: “Orca’s attack path analysis helped us identify a critical vulnerability in our API gateway that could have exposed sensitive customer data. By prioritizing this issue and implementing the recommended remediation, we prevented a potential data breach.”
Furthermore, Orca’s cloud detection capabilities have enabled CHEQ to discover and secure shadow IT resources that posed significant risks. “By gaining visibility into these unauthorized applications, we were able to mitigate potential threats and improve our overall security posture,” according to Blima.
A Partnership for Excellence
The Orca team has proven to be an invaluable partner for CHEQ, providing exceptional support and collaborating closely with their security team. The partnership has not only enhanced CHEQ’s security but has also positively impacted their business operations.
“By reducing security incidents and improving our compliance posture, we have gained the trust of our customers and partners,” Blima concludes. “We are confident that our continued collaboration with Orca will further strengthen CHEQ’s security position and drive business growth.”
