Orca Security’s innovative Reachability Analysis solution addresses the growing challenge of vulnerability management in AWS environments, offering a critical response to the 34% year-over-year increase in vulnerability exploitation reported in 2025. The solution combines Agentless Reachability Analysis, utilizing patented SideScanning™ technology for deep static inspection, with Dynamic Reachability Analysis through their eBPF-based Orca Sensor, providing comprehensive visibility across AWS services including Amazon ECR, EC2, Lambda, ECS, and EKS. Through this dual approach, organizations can achieve a 90% reduction in exploitable vulnerabilities while significantly reducing alert fatigue, as the system intelligently distinguishes between truly exploitable vulnerabilities and those that pose minimal risk in production environments.

Decentralization of work and infrastructure in hybrid environments is leading to identity and access management challenges due to lack of centralized visibility and governance. In this blog, let’s learn how customers can solve these challenges and enhance their identity governance and security with Cisco Duo Identity Federation and advanced access management features.
