Key features and benefits of the joint solution include:
- Centralized Coverage and Cloud Security Data Collection: All of the customer’s cloud security data and telemetry can be collected through a single-source and stored in a single place – removing the friction between working through multiple, siloed integrations.
- Enrichment and Contextualized Data: Customers are able to conduct advanced forensic security incident analysis as well as better threat hunting.
- Faster Correlation: Orca’s unique security data can be stored in customer Snowflake accounts, to enable them to consume it, while expediting correlation efforts with other existing company data the customer may already have in their warehouse (e.g., company employee HR information, etc.).
- Rapid Response with Better Accuracy: Customers utilizing the joint solution have faster and more accurate responses, enabling data-based decisions.
“Orca and Snowflake’s joint solution opens exciting new ways for security teams to protect their cloud environments at scale. Responding to cloud threats, reducing cloud risk, and reporting cloud security posture across the enterprise can all be accelerated with analytics,” said Omer Singer, Head of Cybersecurity Strategy, Snowflake. “I’m proud that our customers are able to consolidate their security data without compromising on best-in-class products.”
