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 organizations scale and modernize their cloud environments, they face increasing pressure to protect complex workloads, identities, and data without slowing innovation. In this joint webinar, GigaOm Field CTO Chris Ray, author of the 2025 GigaOm Radar Report for CNAPP, joins Orca Security experts Tim Chase and Ashleigh Lee to discuss the capabilities that matter most for securing modern cloud environments—and what’s next for the industry in 2026.

The panel will explore key features that every cloud security platform should deliver, including configuration drift detection, visualization of asset relationships, and data security and privacy. The discussion will also look ahead to emerging areas like threat hunting and anomaly detection, where analytics and machine learning are driving more proactive defenses.

The Future of Cloud Security: 2026 Trends and Insights from GigaOm

As we head into the end of the year, it’s important to take stock of how the cloud security landscape has transformed. Hear observations from industry leaders from Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Orca Security as they examine important trends around:
- How AI is transforming cloud environments and enabling new possibilities
- The expanding role of non-human identities (NHIs) in scaling modern organizations
- How cloud teams are advancing beyond traditional approaches to strengthen resilience

AI, NHIs, and the New Era of Cloud Risk

Gartner predicts that 90% of organizations will adopt a hybrid cloud strategy by 2027. Securing workloads across public cloud, private cloud, and on-prem environments has never been more critical—or more complex. Traditional tools often don’t fully cover hybrid deployments, leaving substantial blind spots that put sensitive data and operations at risk. 

Join Orca Security’s Tim Chase, Principal Technical Evangelist, and Dror Zalman, Product Manager, for a focused discussion on the unique challenges of hybrid cloud security. Learn how runtime protection can close visibility gaps, stop threats in real time, and deliver unified security across your entire hybrid estate.

What you’ll learn: 
     • Trends driving hybrid cloud adoption
     • Top security risks in hybrid environments
     • How runtime protection delivers full-stack, full-environment coverage

Cloud security risks are accelerating—and evolving fast. In this webinar, hear from Orca Security’s Bar Kaduri, Head of Research, and Shir Sadon, Cloud Security Researcher, as they unpack the key findings from the Orca 2025 State of Cloud Security Report. Join us to hear their perspectives and gain deep insights into topics such as:
   • The rise of AI-related risk in cloud environments
   • The growing threat of non-human identities (NHIs)
   • The growth of traditional cloud risks

AI, NHIs, and the New Risk Frontier: Unpacking the 2025 State of Cloud Security

Over the last 25 years, we have lived through several iterations of answering the question, “What security issue is most important to resolve?” Even with all of the advancements in code scanning, cloud workload protection, and visualizing attack paths to prevent compromise, developers and security teams need a more defensible way to determine what gets fixed first. Reachability analysis aims to solve this problem.

Join this webinar to learn about:
The evolution of vulnerability management from hypothetical risk to likely to be exploited
The intersection of application security and cloud security
Reachability analysis and what’s next for protecting cloud native applications

Containerization revolutionizes software deployment by packaging applications and their dependencies into portable, isolated units called containers. In fact, according to Enterprise Strategy Group research, 77% of organizations state they support eleven to more than twenty containers per hosts in their environments. When applied to embedded systems, this technology streamlines resource-efficient deployment, enabling seamless application management across diverse devices.  Deployment of containers into embedded platforms comes with security risks and attacks including remote code executions, man-in-the-middle attacks, and privilege escalation.  Thwarting these types of attacks necessitates meticulous attention to developer practices and deployment strategies to ensure comprehensive container security. 
 What you will learn:
• Fundamentals of containers and their adoption on embedded systems
• Security risks surrounding embedded container technology
• Tips for securing containers from development to deployment on embedded systems

Secure Your Embedded Containers from Cloud to Edge

Modernizing Applications With Cloud Native Architecture and Containers

For the last few years, there has been an ongoing debate about multi-cloud/hybrid cloud vs single cloud approach. However, there is increasing evidence that the future will be multi-cloud. Data from a recent survey released by Forrester Research indicates:

62% of public cloud adopters are using 2+ unique cloud environments/platforms

74% of enterprises describe their strategy as hybrid/multi-cloud today

So, the question is what does this mean for your applications? Does adopting multi-cloud increase management complexity? How can you effectively control and manage spend?

In this webinar, we will discuss the benefits and challenges of a multi-cloud approach. We will see how containers are becoming a key building block for enabling application portability and how Kubernetes is becoming the toolbox across clouds. Finally, we will discuss real-world best practices for enabling multi-cloud deployments.

Getting Ready for a Multi-Cloud Future with Containers and Kubernetes

Hybrid Cloud has become synonymous with Kubernetes and “Containers” through high charged marketing campaigns from IT behemoths. However, container platforms are just one technology platform potentially included within small, medium or enterprise customer Hybrid Cloud Architectures.  

This presentation describes hybrid cloud as a strategy, then as an architecture, and finally it describes the key technologies involved moving forwards and the areas of Next-Gen Hybrid Cloud still requiring standards development, products and service offerings.

Join as we discuss:
Some of the new Enterprises started with a Public Cloud strategy (e.g. Netflix, AirBnB, etc.).
As soon as most organisations are sufficiently mature to require a business O365 service, the organisation then becomes multi-cloud.
Managing a multi-cloud environment is challenging without a hybrid cloud strategy.
What principles might a hybrid cloud strategy have.
What would you expect from the Next-Gen Hybrid Cloud (what should it do).
What are the current relevant product offerings?
This is not just about containers!

Exploring Next-Gen Hybrid Cloud: More Than Containers

Containers in the Enterprise

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
