Continuously updated information source for cloud security best practices. Orca Security launches industry-first cloud risk encyclopedia. Cloud Security Innovator opens its collection of 900+ covered cloud risks along with targeted remediation strategies to share industry knowledge.
Orca Security, the innovation leader in cloud security, today released the Orca Cloud Risk Encyclopedia, which serves as a global resource for practitioners and researchers throughout the InfoSec community. The rapid adoption of clouds, the increasing complexity of multi-cloud, and the lack of cloud security professionals have all contributed to widening the cloud security knowledge gap. Orca Security therefore relies on education and transparency. The company provides the same collection of public cloud risks and remediations found in the Orca Security platform, including new discoveries like Superglue and BreakingFormation.
Encyclopedia of 900+ cloud risks
Orca Security knows that staying on top of the growing number of public cloud security risks can be challenging for security professionals," said Mor Himi, VP, Applied Threat Research and leader of the Orca Security research team, as "Orca Research called Pod”. "We hope we can help IT security professionals protect their public cloud environments and make the cloud a safer place for all of us by sharing information about our Research uncovered risks and remedial steps.”
Orca Security's research team's insights into vulnerabilities and incidents are continuously recorded in the Orca Cloud Risk Encyclopedia, serving as a learning center for cloud security professionals, researchers, developers, and the press. This valuable resource includes:
- Important information about the latest cloud security risks: The encyclopedia contains detailed descriptions of cloud security risks, an assessment showing which risks are most critical, and remediation steps.
- Best practices to avoid security breaches: By providing a comprehensive collection of cloud security risks along with best practices, security teams can implement preventive measures to improve their security posture.
- Which risks apply to specific compliance frameworks: By filtering risks for a specific compliance framework or CIS benchmark, security professionals can research the top cloud security risks impacting their compliance programs.
"The increasingly complex public cloud landscape requires a different approach to security," commented Avi Shua, CEO and co-founder of Orca Security. “Enterprises need a comprehensive view of their rapidly evolving cloud estate to identify problems, close neglected entry points, and improve their security posture. The opening of a core part of our platform in the form of our Cloud Risk Encyclopedia is consistent with our commitment to increasing transparency in the cybersecurity industry. Our goal is to help shift the balance of power back in favor of defenders and away from attackers.”
