Security teams are drowning in their own data, struggling to keep up with the escalating hostile cyber reality.
The shift to cloud and SaaS has created a shifting attack surface that generates tidal waves of security signals. SOC teams deal with hundreds of threat alerts, vulnerabilities, and misconfigurations each day, and they just can’t keep up. Many suspicious activity alerts never get touched, leaving attackers free to move.
The timelines don’t favor defenders. Triage takes about 90+ minutes on average. Attackers need less than an hour to turn access into impact. The math doesn't work, and AI-driven attacks only make that gap wider.
The path forward is to break the cycle: stop chasing every signal in isolation and start connecting them with context that drives preemptive action to stop the attack and prevent breach impact. Cloud security and SOC teams need an integrated, best-of-breed solution that combines the preventive, risk-based controls of the CNAPP and CSPM with real-time threat detection & response to detect and stop active attacks already in progress.
That’s exactly what Mitiga and Orca Security are doing together; joining forces to deliver integrated workflows that bring risk, posture, and reachability insights to the SOC, while accelerating MTTD & MTTR. This gives SecOps teams risk-driven visibility, faster investigations, and the ability to detect, respond, and stop cloud attacks before they impact business.
Unified Cloud Security from two industry pioneers
Mitiga and Orca solve fundamental challenges of modern cloud security.
Orca delivers comprehensive cloud security through its patented SideScanning™ technology, providing context-aware visibility across multi-cloud environments without the operational burden of agents. Orca helps organizations "sense and destroy" cloud risks before they become breaches. Orca's platform goes beyond traditional CSPM compliance by providing Attack Path Analysis and risk prioritization that helps security teams understand what's misconfigured, while focusing on business risk.
Mitiga acknowledges that attacks are inevitable. Our AI-native "Let them come" philosophy recognizes that in modern cloud and SaaS environments, preventing every attack is impossible, but achieving zero-impact breach prevention is. Together, the integration of Orca and Mitiga’s solutions deliver previously unavailable end-to-end, real-time protection across your entire Cloud and SaaS estate.
We deliver this through three integrated capabilities that work together to stop attacks as they emerge:
- Panoramic Awareness: Captures live activity across Cloud, SaaS, AI and Identity as one coherent, living system. With up to three years of contextualized and normalized forensic data and over 1,000 detection rules, blind spots where threat actors hide are eliminated.
- AI-Powered Attack Decoding: Traces the full story. Reconstructs every action, log, and signal into a unified attack sequence. Decodes early-stage attacker behavior and predicts where they're headed, cutting through the noise to identify genuine threats in real time.
- Attack and Breach Mitigation: Severs attack momentum at its weakest point, stopping escalation before damaging impact. AI-powered, investigation-ready intelligence and response orchestration built by investigators, for investigators, enables security teams to contain and neutralize threats before they cause business impact.
Together, Orca's context-aware cloud risk intelligence and Mitiga's threat-centric approach create a new paradigm in cloud security: comprehensive, integrated context that gives human analysts and AI agents unprecedented, real-time, and actionable visibility into attacks, to stop and prevent cloud breaches and their impact.
Transforming SOC operations through intelligent integration
The Orca-Mitiga partnership delivers five operational improvements that address the challenges that are overwhelming modern security and SOC teams:
- Streamlined investigations with unified context: When Mitiga detects suspicious cloud activity, security analysts receive immediate access to Orca's comprehensive context—dynamic risk scores, vulnerability data, network reachability, and potential blast radius directly within Mitiga's investigation workflows. No more switching between systems. Analysts see and manage threats across cloud, SaaS, identities, and AI from a single platform.
- Increased alert fidelity through risk-informed prioritization: Mitiga leverages Orca's risk and exposure insights to deliver enhanced fidelity and automatically prioritizes threats based on business risk.
- Dynamic risk posture during active incidents: When Mitiga identifies compromised users or resources during an attack, this intelligence immediately updates Orca's risk assessments in real time. Security teams maintain accurate visibility into their actual security posture throughout incidents, not just static baseline configurations.
- Extended panoramic visibility into workloads with Orca Sensor: Orca Sensor, a lightweight eBPF-based sensor, extends Mitiga's comprehensive visibility into workload runtime behavior, enabling complete threat tracking across the entire technology stack. This means from initial cloud service compromise through lateral movement to workload-level activity—providing the forensic context needed to understand exactly what happened and what systems or data may have been impacted.
- AI-enhanced investigations: Mitiga's Helios AI automated SOC assistant becomes even more powerful when enriched with Orca's context. By incorporating risk, vulnerability, and attack path data, Helios AI delivers more accurate triage assessments and investigation reports, helping security teams make faster, more informed decisions.
Best-of-breed cloud security: integrations outpace all-in-one
The one-platform-to-rule-them-all promise sounds good in a sales deck, but it rarely holds up in the SOC. A tool that’s great at one thing usually cuts corners somewhere else. And that’s where attackers slip through.
Too many SOCs still fight from swivel chairs, jumping between tools while attackers move faster than humans ever could. The gap is where attacks turn into breaches which turn into business impact. Mitiga and Orca close it. Orca’s mapping of the inventory, including vulnerabilities, risks, and reachability, seamlessly enhances Mitiga's live attack decoding and timeline visualization with comprehensive knowledge to orchestrate the response and prevent the breach. Together, they strip out the noise, and provide comprehensive visibility into the compromised environment, cutting triage time and giving analysts the context to act before damage is done. It’s not about “more alerts” or “better dashboards.” It’s about winning the only race that matters: your team’s ability to outpace the attacker and prevent impact.
Attackers aren’t waiting. SOCs can’t either. Integrations like Mitiga + Orca ensure security teams keep pace.
