Orca Security raises $6.5 million in seed funding
Orca Security has raised $6.5 million in seed funding. It will use the new money to fund its mission of providing organizations with seamless full stack visibility into their complete cloud footprint.
“It is an almost impossible task for CISOs to answer security questions about their organizations’ sprawling cloud deployments. Questions such as, ‘Which servers are vulnerable, misconfigured, unpatched, or even breached?’, ‘Do I have neglected servers no one’s maintained for months?’ and ‘Where is my sensitive data stored?’” said Avi Shua, CEO and co-founder of Orca Security. “But organizations shouldn’t be forced to choose between slowing down innovation and accepting unseen and unmanaged risks. We, as a security industry, can and should do better. With Orca, IT and security operations teams gain unprecedented visibility over their entire cloud footprint, allowing them to answer these and many other important questions and to be partners in innovation rather than putting the brakes on it.”
The funding round was led by YL Ventures.
