General Manager - Cyber Security at a consultancy with 11-50 employees

We can easily conduct searches on leaked credentials

We can easily conduct searches on leaked credentials. It gives us the ability to look at a timeline and build profiles against companies that we are trying to protect, then track changes to credentials or leaking bucket/cloud services associated with those companies. That is the benefit for us. A lot of it is stuff that we can do manually, but it is more about the time it takes as well as the number of analysts you need to do it compared to getting it provided as a quick service. It is scalable in that we don't need a dozen people to do the work. With this tool, one person can do it.

Soc Analyst at a tech consulting company with 11-50 employees

Agentless cloud security has improved attack path visibility but still needs stronger real-time blocking

Yes, as per my experience, it has been very helpful. In our organization, we did not find any major or priority one kind of alerts or risks because we had a very good infrastructure structure and cybersecurity architecture built in our organization. Orca Security helped us find what vulnerabilities or gaps existed which we could improve within our architecture. It helped us in such a way that we used to close the open ports and only allowed internal IPs for necessity. For staging environments and for prod we had DOS protection. If network traffic showed that anybody was trying to flood our systems, we would only accept all and our client-related IPs or an approved list of vendor lists we would have. We would get to know where the gaps are and where the improvements we could make. Being an analyst class engineer, I could use my brain in those areas and it was very helpful to have Orca Security in my arsenal.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The size and scope of the solution’s collection is amazing, and when we compare what other solutions can and cannot do, we see how Cybersixgill Investigative Portal is superior in many ways."

"If I conducted research manually it would take one week, but by using Sixgill it takes two hours or three hours."

"The solution’s approach of using limited open source intelligence and focusing, instead, on the Deep Web and Dark Web is what seals the deal. That is why I like them. I have other tools that I can aggregate all the open source intelligence from. I value Cybersixgill because it provides access to things that no one else does."

"To be diligent for the customer, we usually go into Cybersixgill Investigative Portal to analyze and search things. The solution tells us the reputation of cyber threat actors. So, if someone has a reputation of one, it is a really bad idea to care about what that person is saying. However, if you find someone with a reputation of nine, then there is a high probability that we need to address the problem. You can get information about these type of actors in Cybersixgill Investigative Portal. They have a huge collection, which is like having the rules/goals of the dark web and deep web without having to go there. Our analysts avoid going dark web because they have Cybersixgill Investigative Portal and can get the news from their browser, searching wherever they want."

"They also provide some of the greatest notification capabilities. I put in a customer's company name and domain names, or sometimes I put in their IP addresses as a keyword. Once Sixgill collects information that includes those keywords, they then provide us email notifications. That means we can catch information related to our customers as soon as possible."

"Rather than hiring more analysts, we have been able to do more with less and automate some of our investigation functions."

"The advanced analysis has made our security operations more efficient. It has also potentially given us quicker access to data that we might not have otherwise located."

"I have been very vocal about how much this tool has helped."

"Orca Security is the best one for me because it delivers all the things that I need and more."

"The initial setup is very easy."

"With the way it works, having visibility across the org is hands down the biggest benefit for us."

"For me, it's a no-brainer to have Orca running in your cloud."

"Once our organization is configured, any cloud account under that organization is automatically detected in Orca Security, along with all the assets associated with it."

"The reporting and automated remediation capabilities are valuable to me. They're real game-changers."

"I would rate the quality of support as nine stars out of ten due to their quick and helpful responses."

"The best features of Orca Security include its ability to perform a lot of security controls without requiring any installation of agents, making it very easy to set up."

More Orca Security pros

Cons

"The breadth of access to data is good, but there are gaps. More data would be my suggestion because the platform is good and I have no complaints about the system. I think it is just a case of always trying to get more data sources."

"The breadth of access to data is good, but there are gaps."

"Sixgill has strong capabilities based on search queries, but there is some difficulty in using Sixgill."

"We need real-time updated information. If we could have this, it would be amazing. For example, if someone was posting something, then ten second later, it was on the platform. Sometimes, it takes a minute or hours right now, depending on the forum."

"Regarding their scraping abilities, things could be solidified. There are definitely improvements that could be made on the specificity for setting certain queries."

"Sixgill has strong capabilities based on search queries, but there is some difficulty in using Sixgill. Their querying is very powerful but it can be difficult. It's not hugely complex but you need some skill to use Sixgill querying."

"We need real-time updated information. If we could have this, it would be amazing."

"Regarding their scraping abilities, things could be solidified. There are definitely improvements that could be made on the specificity for setting certain queries."

"The main drawback in an agentless approach is that if the solution detects a virus or malware in the environment, we need to manually remove it. But from my experience with other production environments, it's not straightforward to install agents in the hope they will automatically remediate viruses, even from production environments... Ultimately, the ability to auto-remediate is something that I would like to see."

"There were a couple of times when Orca was down when I was trying to access it. I work strange hours because all of my team is in the UK right now. It was 2 a.m. on a Saturday and I was trying to log in but it wasn't working. But relative to my other security tools, Orca is definitely the most stable that I've seen."

"Another improvement would be that, in addition to focusing on endpoint compliance, they would focus on general compliance."

"The presentation of the data in the dashboard is a little bit chaotic."

"I believe they need more time developing this solution, which means they need to be more comprehensive and extended in their approach."

"As with all software, the user interface can always be made simpler to use. It would be helpful for people with very little knowledge, like somebody sitting behind the SOC, to allow them to be able to drill down into things a little bit easier than it is currently."

"Customer support is very poor, in my opinion, because when I have a few problems, the customer support says your solution is bad or it is easier."

"The difference between agentless and agent solutions is that while agentless provides great visibility, it does not offer real-time blocking."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing and licensing are good. It is expensive for us because the US dollar is quite strong compared to our dollar. Otherwise, it is quite reasonable for what it is. All the tools in the market are around the same price from my experience."

"Sometimes, Cybersixgill Investigative Portal is cheaper than its competitors."

"The pricing is cheap compared with Recorded Future. Sixgill's cost-effectiveness is very good."

"Its license is a bit expensive."

"Overall, the pricing is reasonable and the discounts have been acceptable."

"Orca is very competitive when compared to the alternatives and is not the most expensive in the market, that's for sure."

"I think their pricing model is aligned with market demand. Of course, Orca could probably better align their pricing model with the needs of smaller businesses as well as some larger-scale enterprises with millions of assets. But in all fairness, I think the Orca sales team has been accommodating and ensured that we're happy with the pricing."

"While it's competitive with Palo Alto Prisma, I think Orca's list price is very high. I would advise Orca to lower it because, at that price, I might consider alternatives like Wiz, which also offers agentless services."

"The pricing depends on how many assets you have running in your cloud and how many environments you have. If you have a dev environment, test environment, and a production environment then it's really important that you have coverage for all of them."

"Orca Security charges are based on cloud workloads. So, it's based on workloads. If we look at one feature, it might be expensive."

"The price is a bit expensive for smaller organizations."
