Orca Security CEO Drives Agentless Cloud Protection
In 2026, Orca Security co-founder and CEO Gil Geron promotes an agentless cloud security model built on SideScanning, which reads runtime block storage via cloud APIs to provide workload visibility without agents. The approach, validated by customer adoption and unicorn valuation since 2021, challenges incumbent agent-based vendors and expands into detection, compliance, and cloud entitlement management. Enterprises gain broader, continuous multi-cloud visibility with reduced operational overhead.
Key Points
- 1Introduces SideScanning agentless technology that analyzes runtime block storage via cloud APIs for full workload visibility
- 2Disrupts agent-based incumbents by reducing operational overhead while improving vulnerability, misconfiguration, and lateral-movement detection
- 3Enables security teams to prioritize exploitability via cloud security graphs, speeding mitigation across multi-cloud estates
Scoring Rationale
Strong industry disruption and broad relevance, backed by market adoption, but limited by modest novelty compared with earlier agentless competitors.
