Our take
Orca Security offers security services for cloud-based services and infrastructure. The company builds patented SideScannning technology, which allows security managers to look into their cloud systems, identify vulnerabilities and ensure their most important data is protected.
Orca Security was founded back in 2019 by two ex-employees of established security provider Check Point. The Orca Security system is attractive to clients as it can be deployed and operating within minutes.
Recent cyberattacks on critical infrastructure and national systems have boosted interest in cybersecurity companies. Investors are hoping that platforms such as Orca Security can mitigate some of these threats. Spending on security is expected to surpass $150 billion, and there are plenty of other providers offering protection, including Check Point and Lightspin. However, in 2023 Orca Security became the first firm to integrate ChatGPT features into its alert automation network, exemplifying how the company continues to maintain an edge in the industry.
