Orca Security AI
Agentless CNAPP for AWS/Azure/GCP with AI-drafted fix plans
Overview
Orca scans AWS, Azure and GCP without installing agents, using SideScanning to map risk across cloud, container and code layers; its AI agents summarize findings and draft remediation steps. Sold as a single all-inclusive SKU rather than tiered add-ons.

Orca's pitch is simple: one agentless scan covers your cloud estate — AWS, Azure, GCP — plus containers, Kubernetes and now source repos, without installing a single sensor. SideScanning reads cloud provider snapshots directly, which is why deployment is measured in minutes rather than weeks. The AI layer sits on top of that data: it drafts remediation plans, answers plain-English questions about a finding, and prioritizes by actual reachability rather than raw CVE count.
G2 reviewers rate it 4.6 from 222 reviews, with the recurring gripe being alert volume — Orca surfaces a lot, and role-based dashboard access inside the console is fiddly to lock down. Pricing is one workload-based SKU with no feature tiers, which is refreshingly honest but also means you're paying full enterprise rates, typically $36,000-$60,000 a year, even if you only want vulnerability scanning. Good fit for mid-to-large multi-cloud teams; overkill for a five-person startup.
What people say
Orca Security's core differentiator hasn't changed since launch: SideScanning reads your cloud provider's own API/snapshot layer instead of running agents on every workload, so a new AWS account can be onboarded in under an hour. That still shows up as the top-cited strength in reviews — G2 puts Orca at 4.6 stars across 222 reviews, with reviewers repeatedly calling out the agentless setup and unified risk view across AWS, Azure and GCP as the reason they picked it over Wiz or Prisma Cloud Compute.
The AI layer — Orca describes it as an agent that acts as eyes and ears across telemetry — summarizes findings, explains attack paths in plain language, and drafts remediation steps. Reviewers who mention it treat it as a time-saver on triage rather than a headline feature; the platform's core value is still the visibility and prioritization engine underneath.
Complaints cluster around two things. First, alert fatigue: Orca finds a lot, and teams without a mature triage process report getting buried. Second, the admin console — role-based access for read-only dashboard users is described as more layered than it needs to be, which is annoying if you want to hand a scoped view to an auditor or a junior analyst. Reporting customization also comes up as a want-more item.
On pricing, Orca sells a single SKU covering CNAPP, AppSec and runtime protection rather than the tiered, add-on model most competitors use — no buy-the-base-platform-then-bolt-on-container-security upsell path. That's simpler to budget for, but it also means smaller teams pay for capabilities like source-code posture management they may not use yet. Typical annual contracts run $36,000-$60,000 based on workload count, with everything quote-based — there's no self-serve tier or public price list.
For ASEAN buyers specifically: Orca doesn't publish regional data-residency terms prominently, so that's a question worth raising directly in the sales process rather than assuming from the marketing site.
