Orca Security is the industry-leading Cloud Security Platform that identifies, prioritizes, and remediates security risks and compliance issues across your cloud estate spanning AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and Kubernetes.

As the adoption of AI models explodes, it’s important that security is not overlooked. Since AI models often include sensitive data and intellectual property in their training data, these cloud resources are at an even greater potential risk than other resources. Our expert speakers will discuss the specific challenges of AI security and how to manage your AI security posture without hindering innovation.

In this webinar you will learn:

- How widespread AI development is right now
- What AI risks are most pressing now
- What challenges are involved in addressing these risks
- How AI Security Posture Management works

AI Security Posture Management Explained

Join our expert Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) as they delve into the key findings from Orca Security's 2024 State of Cloud Security Report, compiled by the Orca Research Pod by analyzing billions of cloud assets in real-world environments.

Moderated by Andy Ellis, our panelists will explore:
- The most impactful statistics highlighted in the report
- How the report findings compare to their real-world experiences
- The biggest cloud security challenges facing security leaders in 2024
- How to enhance cloud security, even when resources are constrained

CISO Fireside Chat: 2024 State of Cloud Security Report

In this webinar we will learn about the vulnerability recently discovered by Hunters’ Team Axon called DeleFriend - what it is, how it is exploited, and what you can do to protect yourself from it. More than just a series of slides we’ll have the threat researchers demonstrate the vulnerability and breach a demo environment.  We shall see that Google Workspace depends on Google Cloud Platform and why you need to rigorously protect yourself across both. We’ll discuss attacks on Google Cloud Platform and Google Workspace as well as a live demo of the exploit. 

Key takeaways:
- How GCP and Google Workspace are interconnected
- How to detect and prevent this demonstrated attack
- What you need to do to protect yourself from this exploitable vulnerability

Exploring a Severe Design Weakness in Google Workspace - Hunters & Orca Security

In this webinar, our panelists will discuss how AI and large language models such as ChatGPT and Azure OpenAI can contribute to cloud security in a way that previously wasn’t possible. While AI isn’t new, organizations are increasingly applying AI to solve complex issues that are hard to replicate by humans. This is resulting in reduced daily workloads for security practitioners and DevOps teams, as well as more robust cloud security postures.

In this webinar we will discuss:
- How AI is empowering security teams to respond to and remediate issues faster than ever before
- Practical use cases where AI is already helping to improve cloud security
- New AI applications that we can expect in the future

Unleashing the Power of Generative AI: Accelerating Cloud Security

A loophole in Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) - dubbed ‘Sys:All’ - could allow an attacker with any Google account to take over a GKE cluster, potentially leading to serious security incidents such as cryptomining, denial of service, and sensitive data theft. The loophole stems from a likely widespread misconception that the system:authenticated group in GKE includes only verified and deterministic identities, whereas in fact, it includes any Google authenticated account (even outside the organization). This misunderstanding could then create a serious weakness when the system:authenticated group is assigned overly permissive roles.

Learn from our speakers as they deep-dive into the details of the GKE loophole, provide the results of our initial reconnaissance research in the wild, and provide practical recommendations on how to make sure your organization is not vulnerable.

In this webcast, we’ll cover:
- What the ‘Sys:All’ GKE loophole is
- How we managed to find thousands of vulnerable GKE clusters
- How to protect against this loophole

Join us to gain an understanding of risks and threats that uniquely impact containers and Kubernetes. 

In this panel discussion, we'll explore:
 •  How containerization affects application, platform, and cloud security concerns
 •  Walking through risks to the apps running in the containers
 •  The possibilities of an escape from the container workload to the host and the orchestrator
 •  The potential for this to lead to a bigger compromise of the cloud estate
 •  Addressing strategies for mitigating these risks and detecting possible issues

Understanding How Containers & Kubernetes Change Your Threat Models

With many organizations deploying multiple cloud accounts and providers, new opportunities arise for bad actors to exploit the increased attack surface and security loopholes.

In this webinar, we explore the phenomenon of cross-account and cross-provider cloud attacks, how multi-cloud attack path analysis can detect these security gaps, and how teams can prioritize attack paths, remediating the most critical ones first.

You’ll learn:
 •  How bad actors can ‘hop’ from one cloud provider to another to reach their end target
 •  The role of multi-cloud attack path analysis in detecting these threats
 •  How Orca can help teams prioritize attack paths and remediate strategically

Defend Against Multi-Cloud Attack Paths

As the cloud security landscape evolves and threats become more complex, cloud security vendors continue to innovate. But what sets these security solutions apart? And which features are most impactful?

Democratizing Cloud Security With Generative AI

Melinda Marks, Senior Analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), reports that, in a recent cloud security posture management (CSPM) study, 1 in 7 businesses are placing 40% of their applications in public clouds—and that number is expected to double in 2 years.

This wave of continuous cloud adoption necessitates a revised security approach, as managing risk, mitigating visibility issues, and establishing consistency of controls becomes more difficult as you grow your CSP ecosystem. 

This forthcoming Fireside Chat with Melinda Marks, Orca’s VP Product Marketing Keith Mokris, and Principal Technical Evangelist Ashley Ward will illuminate current CSPM trends, as well as top challenges and best practices for managing cloud security risk.

Register for the session—live on September 14th at 1pm EST—to join the discussion, which also covers:
• How can you strategically manage security risk during cloud migration?
• Cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM) trends
• Explanation of how Orca is helping customers with CIEM and CSPM
• And much more
