## Overview
Orca Security is an agentless cloud-native application protection platform whose SideScanning approach reads cloud workloads and configuration without agents. CIEM is part of its coverage, mapping identities and permissions alongside vulnerabilities and misconfigurations.

## What it is good at
Fast, read-only, agentless deployment is the signature strength, giving broad multi-cloud visibility quickly. Its unified data model connects identity and entitlement risk with workload and exposure context, helping teams prioritize what actually matters.

## Where it falls short
Entitlement-specific workflows such as deep just-in-time access are lighter than dedicated CIEM tools, and the agentless model suits some architectures better than others.

## Pricing
Quote-based enterprise pricing.

## Best for, and who should look elsewhere
Choose Orca for agentless, unified cloud security with entitlement context. Look elsewhere for a dedicated CIEM with rich access workflows.

## Bottom line
A strong agentless CNAPP with useful CIEM context, best when speed and unified prioritization matter.
