CEO Corner
August has been a big month for cloud security. The latest Gartner® Market Guide for CNAPPs confirms what we've always believed - organizations need platforms that bring security tools together and give clear visibility across their applications.
The industry is moving away from disconnected point solutions toward comprehensive platforms that can connect the dots across complex cloud environments. This shift toward proactive, AI-powered security represents the future of cloud protection.
As we expand globally, from earning IRAP protected certification for Australian government agencies to adding hybrid cloud coverage, these industry insights confirm we're building exactly what organizations need to secure their cloud environments.
Stay secure,

Congratulations
Orca Security very interesting content this month. The securing SAP resource and the news of the Orca capabilities for hybrid or on-prem environments are great. The conversion of the Cloud Security Podcast was super insightful. I got to admit that regardless Gartner’s opinion that the security platforms are getting momentum, the complexity of organizations’ environments and the evolving threats, one platform cannot tackle all the security needs and uniqueness of each organization. The best of breed security tools will continue fighting and serving the needs of multiple organizations.
Great insights! Thanks for sharing
