Avi Shua (CEO), Gil Geron (CPO) and the rest of the team’s combined expertise, in addition to their promising vision, immediately gained Orca customer attention and enthusiasm. Orca’s innovative approach stoked the fastest pipeline growth we’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing as investors. Their vision has developed into an unmatched platform that detects all important risks in cloud environments, integrates with any cloud environment in minutes, causes zero overhead on performance and availability, and prioritizes alerts based on all available data-all while presenting a manageable number of alerts.Įarly Interest in Agentless Security Spurs Explosive Pipeline Growth The brilliant minds at Orca had the foresight to both anticipate and understand the future of cloud security best practices. Orca is the only solution available today to navigate these new circumstances while still providing critical security services at scale. The pandemic exponentially accelerated cloud migration and the need for efficient, scaled, and deep visibility-something that Orca’s platform provides by design. Though total digital transformation has long been an industry inevitability, few of us could anticipate how COVID-19 would so quickly redefine our relationship with the cloud. Interestingly, 2020’s many challenges have further highlighted the urgency of Orca’s already unique value proposition. Orca's Growth Accelerated Rapidly in 2020 Simply put, in contrast to all of its direct competitors, Orca has invented an agentless solution that provides 100% deep and contextual security coverage within minutes, across entire cloud environments. Rather, Orca treats each customer’s cloud estate as an interconnected web of assets, prioritizing risk based on the underlying security issue combined with environmental context, including its accessibility and potential damage to the business. This, invariably treats your cloud as a long list of alerts that lack context, and leave you exposed and cause SOC fatigue. Other solutions only consider one dimension of risk – the severity of the underlying security issue. Instead, it provides deep and contextualized visibility to cloud environments as a SaaS solution, taking snapshots of cloud workloads through runtime storage layers and combining them with metadata gathered from cloud provider APIs to detect vulnerabilities, malware, misconfigurations, lateral movement risk, weak and leaked passwords, secret keys, unsecured PII, and more. Unlike anything else on the market, Orca’s solution was “born in the cloud for the cloud” to provide touchless, cloud-wide, context-aware, and workload-deep security and compliance for AWS, Azure, and GCP without any of the gaps in coverage, alert fatigue, and operational costs typically associated with agents. Orca’s SideScanning™ invention has rightfully earned the startup’s ‘disruptor’ status. Radical Tech Takes on Massive Cloud Adoption Led by influential Silicon Valley investor ICONIQ Growth with participation from existing investors YL Ventures, GGV Capital, and a group of over 50 Chief Information Security Officers from Silicon Valley CISO Investments, this takes Orca to $82 million financing in total and will further accelerate the reach of their agentless cloud security platform and patent-pending SideScanning™ technology.
#CLOUD 300M ICONIQ GROWTH SERIES#
Today, I’m absolutely thrilled to announce that Orca Security has raced through yet another incredible milestone, having secured a $55 million Series B financing round just six months after announcing a Series A round last May. By Yoav Leitersdorf, Orca Security Seed, Series A & B Investor from Jan 2019 In addition, Netskope also provides visibility, compliance, and security for public clouds like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Netskope also provides Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) services that protect managed cloud apps such as Office 365, Box, G Suite and others from threats or data breaches. Use cases for Private Access include augmenting remote access VPNs, providing third party access, cloud migration, M & A integration, accessing DevOps, and security transformation. The platform also features a cloud-based Zero Trust Access Network (ZTNA) called Netskope Private Access, which can allow authenticated users to connect with one another. Netskope's platform also provides analytics through four dashboards for CxO security and risk, data risk and security, Cloud and SaaS risk and usage, and web and cloud-enabled threats. The company's Secure Web Gateway, dubbed the Next Gen SWG, allows users to block malware, detect threats, filter by category, protect data and control app use for users from any location or device. Netskope's platform, called the Netskope Security Cloud, is a Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) platform, which delivers network and security as a cloud service directly to the source of a connection rather than the enterprise data center.
