Agentless Multi-Cloud Security Advantage
Orca Security
Agentless multi cloud visibility has become the buying wedge that lets newer cloud security vendors displace both cloud native tools and older security suites. The reason is simple, security teams can connect one product to AWS, Azure, and GCP with read only access, get a full map of workloads, identities, data, and misconfigurations in hours, and avoid the operational drag of installing and maintaining software on every machine.

The core product experience is much lighter than older agent based security. Orca connects through cloud APIs and scans workload storage from the side, while Wiz similarly plugs in through API access and gives one dashboard across attack paths. That faster setup matters because cloud estates change daily, and coverage gaps appear quickly when agents are missing or broken.
-
Native tools from AWS, Azure, and GCP are strongest inside their own cloud, but large companies increasingly run more than one cloud. That creates room for cross cloud vendors whose main job is normalizing alerts, identities, and risk across all environments. It is the same reason Wiz scaled so fast, from $100M ARR in 18 months to about $500M ARR by mid 2024.
-
The market is also consolidating around broader platforms. Palo Alto Networks, CrowdStrike, and Cisco have filled product gaps through acquisitions, while developer security players like Snyk have expanded from code scanning into cloud posture management. In practice, the winner is increasingly the vendor that can show code to cloud risk in one place, not the one with the best single feature.
From here, the category keeps moving toward bundled cloud security platforms that start with fast agentless visibility and then add identity, runtime, API, and code security on top. That favors vendors like Orca that can land with near zero deployment friction, then grow contract value as customers consolidate more of their cloud security stack into one console.
