Aqua Security, a leader in cloud native security, and Orca Security, known for its agentless cloud security solutions, have announced a strategic partnership. This collaboration aims to provide comprehensive cloud native security through a seamless integration of their respective platforms.

The partnership promises significant benefits for joint customers by combining Orca Security’s multi-cloud visibility and security capabilities with Aqua Security’s robust runtime protection for cloud native workloads. This integration is designed to address the complex security needs of organizations operating in multi-cloud and hybrid cloud environments.

Key features of the integrated solution include enhanced multi-cloud visibility, real-time workload monitoring and defense, immediate alerting, risk prioritization using enriched data, and Aqua’s drift prevention to maintain workload immutability and block malicious malware with real-time behavioral detection.

“One of the biggest challenges facing my team this year is seeing the breadth of our cloud operations around the world and simultaneously securing our most critical cloud assets,” said Jairo Orea, Global Chief Information Security Officer, Royal Caribbean Group. “My team and I did an exhaustive search to find the right cloud native solution to both identify and stop cloud native threats, and the Aqua and Orca combination was the only one that covered the use cases we needed to secure our cloud environment. We compared tools and ‘platforms’ from nearly a dozen vendors, but this was the only option that could help my team both manage and protect our cloud environments.”

“Best-of-breed security means combining the strengths of two different solutions,” said Dror Davidoff, CEO and co-founder, Aqua Security. “Aqua and Orca are doing that in a seamless way to meet customer demand for market-leading cloud native security. Orca’s deep visibility coupled with Aqua’s sophisticated and scalable container security will allow customers to benefit from a holistic approach to enhanced cloud security.” 

“As we partner with hundreds of organisations around the world to secure their cloud environments, we are committed to delivering an open ecosystem of the best cloud native technologies,” said Gil Geron, CEO and co-founder, Orca Security. “The integration of runtime protection from Aqua Security into the Orca Platform, and our plans to continue enhancing this feature set, offer more value to our joint customers.”

Joint customers of Aqua and Orca will benefit from real-time visibility and protection. Orca Security’s agentless approach provides extensive multi-cloud visibility and continuous security across cloud infrastructure, workloads, data, identities, and other critical assets. This is complemented by Aqua’s advanced runtime protection, which offers frictionless threat protection against known and unknown attacks targeting running workloads. Critical alert data from Aqua will be accessible within the Orca Platform.
