Orca scans your deployed cloud. CybeDefend secures what builds it.
Orca's agentless approach to cloud vulnerability management is elegant and mature. It operates on infrastructure that's already deployed. CybeDefend is in the AI agent writing the infrastructure code.
What Orca Security does well
Agentless cloud security (no sensors to deploy), excellent CSPM and CWPP, vulnerability prioritization based on cloud attack paths, strong container runtime security.
But:
Not a code security tool. No SAST, no SCA, no traditional IaC scanning. No MCP integration. No IDE copilot. No business-logic detection. Enterprise-only pricing. No free tier.

Runtime vs generation time
Orca's agentless model is powerful: no sensors, no performance impact, full cloud visibility. It operates on what's already running. CybeDefend operates at code generation time — inside the AI agent writing the Terraform, the Dockerfile, the application code. Shift-left means catching issues before Orca ever needs to see them.

Complementary security layers
Orca and CybeDefend cover different surfaces. Orca: cloud runtime, posture, vulnerabilities in deployed workloads. CybeDefend: code, AI agent output, IaC before deployment, application logic. Together they provide coverage from the first prompt to the running production workload.
From cloud risk to code-level auto-fix
Orca surfaces runtime risks and cloud misconfigurations. CybeDefend traces those risks back to the exact application or IaC code line that created them — and rewrites it before the PR is opened. One tool that closes the loop between cloud detection and code remediation.
Orca sees vulnerabilities in your running cloud. CybeDefend prevents the AI agent from writing the code that creates them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should teams use both Orca and CybeDefend?
Yes, if budget allows. Orca and CybeDefend cover non-overlapping layers. Orca handles post-deployment cloud security; CybeDefend handles pre-commit code and agent-time security. They are complementary, not competing.
Does Orca do any code scanning?
Orca includes some IaC scanning (Terraform, CloudFormation) as part of its CSPM. This is post-deployment or at pipeline time. CybeDefend scans IaC inside the AI agent as it's being written.
What is Orca's pricing model?
Orca is enterprise-priced with no published rate card and no free tier. CybeDefend offers transparent per-seat pricing.
