Orca Security Usage Skyrockets, Fueled by More Than 320% Increase in Developers Protected by Platform

More than 60,000 Developers Rely on Orca Security Platform to Connect Development Risk with Production; More Than 320 Petabytes of Data Processed Per Day

PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Orca Security, the pioneer of agentless cloud security, today announced record platform growth driven by a 323% year-over-year (YoY) increase in developers using the Orca Security Platform. The explosive increase reflects significant demand to connect development risk and production more closely than ever and contributed to a more than 55% YoY increase in platform users overall and a greater than 10% YoY increase in platform users per customer.

Gartner projects that spending on cloud platforms will grow faster than all other risk and security segments, with 7 of 10 organizations using these platforms to power their businesses by 2027. Realizing the promise of cloud-native applications demands more effective security in the cloud. This requires an approach that helps prevent security issues from leaking into production, traces cloud risks to their code origins, and facilitates fast and easy remediations at the source—from cloud to development.

“Shift left security is driving more competitive wins and is a top R&D priority for Orca,” said Gil Geron, CEO and co-founder of Orca Security. “We were the first CNAPP to launch capabilities that automatically trace cloud security risks found in production to the origin code and the developer that owns it. We’ve doubled down on our developer innovations since then, and it’s fueling exponential increases in users and the volume of data scanned by the platform.”

Orca recently announced new application security capabilities that unify security, DevOps and development teams to enable a full lifecycle approach to securing cloud-native applications. They include Static Application Security Testing (SAST), open-source license detection, and remediation actions driven by artificial intelligence (AI). The new features build on innovations introduced over the last year that include SCM Posture Management (SCM-PM), Software Composition Analysis (SCA), Secrets Detection, Infrastructure-as-Code security, and container image scanning.

The Orca Platform leverages its patented SideScanning™ technology and Unified Data Model to ensure security teams can see cloud risks in the full context of their code origins while developers can view security findings in their version control, ticketing system, or integrated development environment (IDE) of choice. The expanded developer capabilities and increased usage have led to an explosion in the volume of data scanned by Orca. In 2024, the Orca platform scanned more than 9 million workloads and processed and more than 300 petabytes per day while protecting more than 120,000 code repositories.
