Wavelink partners with Orca Security to enhance cloud security
Tue, 23rd Apr 2024

Wavelink, a provider of enterprise solutions, has reached a new distribution agreement with Orca Security, a pioneer in agentless cloud security. This partnership will see Wavelink distribute Orca Security’s agentless-first cloud security platform, aiming to introduce a viable substitute to agent-based solutions that can enhance cloud visibility, risk management, and compliance.

The need for such technology has risen sharply, given the current fast-track digital transformation initiatives that have seen a surge in operations moving to the cloud. Recognition of the importance of comprehensive technology to maintain compliance and provide improved visibility into cloud-related risks is growing steadily.

Orca Security's agentless-first platform can be deployed in mere minutes without causing disruptive production effects on live environments. Providing thorough, deep visibility into major cloud services, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure, Orca Security utilises a Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) to deliver a comprehensive cloud security experience. This makes it possible for organisations to avoid using multiple disjointed products for cloud workload and data protection, cloud security posture management (CSPM), compliance, or vulnerability management.

The platform offered by Orca Security stands to streamline security processes, decrease operational costs, and reduce Mean Time to Remediation (MTTR). For users, this translates into a more robust, efficient security framework that enhances protection against evolving threats and ensures that cloud assets and data remain secure. Its comprehensive approach to cloud security makes the platform a valuable addition to any technology portfolio, offering enhanced peace of mind and resilience in the face of cybersecurity challenges.

Raf Chiodo, Chief Revenue Officer at Orca Security, highlighted the benefits of the solution, explaining, “Cloud estates are complex, amorphous, and dynamic so any security solution needs to be agile and provide full visibility into cloud-specific threats. That means a dynamic platform that deploys in minutes, doesn’t rely on agents, and delivers insight via a single pane of glass to uncover cloud vulnerabilities, maintain compliance, and understand what attack paths represent the greatest business risk.”

On the partnership, he commented, “Orca Security is excited to partner with Wavelink to expand its footprint and help more organisations securely embrace the cloud and extract full value from their cloud investments.”

Equally positive about the partnership, Ilan Rubin, CEO at Wavelink, stated, “Wavelink is proud to partner with Orca Security to deliver this innovative solution to customers. Integrating Orca Security’s comprehensive agentless platform into its portfolio provides Wavelink’s customers with unparalleled visibility and control over their cloud environments for enhanced security, and optimised cloud usage for better performance and cost-effectiveness. This partnership reflects Wavelink’s unwavering commitment to give its customers access to the most advanced and comprehensive solutions to meet their evolving needs.”
