Orca Security, known for pioneering agentless cloud security solutions, has unveiled a major advancement to its platform—introducing the first end-to-end runtime protection specifically designed for hybrid cloud infrastructures. With this new capability, Orca extends its Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) beyond the major public cloud providers (AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud) to include support for private clouds and on-premises systems. The move directly addresses a critical demand in the evolving cloud security landscape.
According to Gartner, by 2027, nearly 90% of enterprises are expected to adopt hybrid cloud strategies. This growing shift introduces new challenges—chief among them, security fragmentation and inconsistent visibility. As organizations span across public and private environments, they often encounter gaps in monitoring, enforcement, and threat detection, which amplifies their vulnerability to cyberattacks and compliance issues.
