One conversation has surfaced more than any other recently – how essential cloud security is for our customers. The rapid adoption of cloud-based operations has opened up many businesses to an ever-expanding and evolving threat landscape.
Malware, ransomware, and other bad actors are part of the problem. Our customers are now realising that their cloud environments greatly magnify network vulnerability and are highly dynamic, making it difficult to have full visibility of potential threat vectors. Most agent-based security solutions can’t scale with speed and scalability their cloud environment demands.
Recently we’ve been working with a platform technology called Orca Security who provide a cloud product which really resonates with our customers.
Orca Security is an agentless cloud security platform that identifies, prioritises, and remediates risk. One of the main reasons our customers like the technology is that it connects to your environment in minutes and provides complete coverage across vulnerabilities, malware, misconfigurations, lateral movement risk, weak and leaked passwords, and overly permissive identities. Often, customers are finding visibility into areas of their cloud environment that were previously unknown.
With this technology our customers gain a single, unified solution that can detect important security risks at each layer of their cloud environment. Other benefits include:
- Reduced costs with tool consolidation
- Immediate value and reduced operational costs
- Avoidance of costly breaches due to coverage gaps and uncorrelated risks
- Reduced MTTR and operational friction
- Increased team productivity and efficiency
Because Orca sees the customer’s cloud as an interconnected web of assets to be protected, it provides a single pane of glass for asset and risk management. Our customers get a full set of cybersecurity categories and are freed up by automatic critical checks and compliance adherence.
Due to the number of great conversations, we’ve decided to formally partner with Orca. In collaboration with the Orca team we are offering a free, no-obligation Orca Cloud Security assessment—helping you score your cloud security posture and determine where you’re most at risk. This assessment evaluates:
- Unsecured sensitive data
- Suspicious activity
- Vulnerable or neglected assets
- Organisational responsiveness
- Authentication configurations
If you would like to learn more about Orca or talk to us about the assessment please complete the contact form on this page and we will be in contact.
The free assessment gives you full visibility of your cloud environments across Azure, AWS and Google Cloud in just a few minutes by linking to your cloud account with read only access.
