Cloud Workload Protection Platforms (CWPPs) are security solutions designed to protect workloads deployed in cloud, hybrid cloud, and multicloud environments. They provide unified visibility and management, offering continuous threat monitoring and detection specifically tailored for virtual machines, containers, and serverless architectures. These platforms help safeguard critical applications and data against potential security threats, ensuring compliance and operational integrity in complex cloud infrastructures. Primary use cases for CWPPs include protecting sensitive data in transit and at rest, detecting anomalous activities within cloud environments, and implementing security policies across diverse workloads. Typical features include vulnerability management, configuration assessment, runtime protection, and automated compliance checks. The key buyer personas include IT security professionals and cloud architects, who seek robust security measures to mitigate risks associated with cloud deployments.

Orca Security is an agentless cloud security platform founded in 2019 and headquartered in the cloud security market. The company's patented side-scanning technology connects to a customer's public cloud environment with read-only access, analyzes block storage from the side, and maps vulnerabilities, malware, and misconfigurations across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform without installing an agent. Gil Geron, a co-founder who led product and engineering for the first three and a half years before becoming CEO, told Latka that Orca reached its first paying customer within three weeks of launching its product and crossed one million dollars in annual revenue in early 2020. Revenue then grew approximately 12 times between 2020 and 2021, driven in large part by the Log4j vulnerability disclosure, which created sudden enterprise demand for Orca's complete-visibility scanning capability. As of 2025, Orca serves more than 1,000 customers with a team of 400 employees. The company has raised a cumulative total estimated at roughly 630 to 650 million dollars, including a 550 million dollar extended Series C led by Temasek that valued the company at 1.8 billion dollars in 2021. Geron declined to confirm current revenue figures beyond the publicly known trajectory, though the company's average contract value and expansion deals signal a firmly enterprise-grade business.
