What is Orca Security?

Orca Security is an agentless cloud security platform that uses patented SideScanning technology to read cloud workload runtime block storage out-of-band, providing deep visibility into vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, malware, lateral movement risk, and sensitive data exposure without deploying agents. Orca covers AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes, offering a unified view of cloud risk across the entire stack from infrastructure to application layer.

Best for: Organizations that want deep agentless scanning with strong vulnerability management and malware detection across multi-cloud environments
Pros
  • ✓ SideScanning provides deep workload visibility without agents
  • ✓ Strong vulnerability detection including OS and application-level CVEs
  • ✓ Unified platform covering CSPM, CWPP, and CIEM capabilities
  • ✓ Effective risk prioritization with context-aware scoring
  • ✓ Good multi-cloud support across AWS, Azure, and GCP
Considerations
  • • Agentless approach cannot provide real-time runtime protection
  • • Scanning cadence means newly deployed workloads may have a detection gap
  • • Enterprise pricing can be expensive for large cloud estates
  • • Fewer integrations and ecosystem partnerships than Wiz
  • • UI and reporting can feel cluttered for very large environments
