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 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

Hybrid Cloud Security: A Deep Dive into Runtime Protection

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

The Defender's Paradox: Why Traditional Vulnerability Management is Failing Cloud-Native Organizations

As organizations embrace the flexibility and innovation that multi-cloud strategies offer, they also inherit a new layer of complexity—especially when it comes to security. 

Examine the emerging challenges cloud security teams face, how to build a strategy that works across platforms and providers, and how cloud-agnostic security tools can help.
