Enables us to prioritize and effectively address critical security issues
Evidence-based reporting helps us to prioritize and solve critical security issues. The new visualization feature demonstrates how an attacker can enter the system, highlighting the potential path that can be exploited and outlining all the steps the attacker could take. With that visibility, we can ensure the perimeter is strong and attackers cannot enter, thus reducing the risk. It has helped us prioritize issues. The visibility into how an attack could happen is valuable. For example, it highlights the system vulnerability and outlines where an attack could propagate. The visualization helps me to prioritize remediation, and if I don't know where to start, I can check to see the score that enables me to prioritize issues. I am using infrastructure-as-code scanning, and it's one of the useful features. In pre-production, it identifies embedded secrets and misconfigurations, including issues with Kubernetes or some privileged containers. This feature allows us to pass the audit and secure IaC code so that it isn't easily exploitable by attackers. We can more proactively work to identify and resolve vulnerabilities by using the dashboard and the alerting system that SentinelOne provides. It helps us with audits and compliance. We can show the compliance in percentage. We can confidently say that our company or infrastructure is very secure. It has improved our security posture by 30% to 35%. It has reduced our false positives by 30%. It has helped teams collaborate better. The security team manages SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, and when it flags vulnerabilities, they are forwarded to DevOps for remediation. Previously, we needed to identify and report the issues, but there would be lapses in communication. Now, there is a centralized dashboard that anyone can look at and see the open issues and work on them.

Security posture has improved with automated insights but reporting and integrations still need work
The best feature of Google Cloud Security Command Center is that it is flexible to integrate with several third-party tools or services, and it is more customized. For example, it is already giving a misconfiguration and the vulnerability, and if somebody wants to do some in-depth analysis for patterns such as metrics, they can export the continuous log on the spot with that tool. From an integration point of view, I would say it is more customized with different tools. The asset discovery feature of Google Cloud Security Command Center enhances my security strategy because, nowadays, data sensitivity and data privacy are very important, and using some DLP utility, I can classify and set up rules to generate reports based on the classification in their asset discovery. This can also include data classification on Google storage buckets, and overall, Google Cloud Security Command Center has that information, which can be used for various analyses or alerts. It is very important for compliance assessment because every business is global and connects with different geographical locations, meaning each country has its own regulatory systems and internal compliance policies. Google Cloud Security Command Center has the feature to set up security postures based on which resources or assets inside Google Cloud can be marked as compliant or non-compliant, giving a risk score for immediate reporting to higher management or CISO, making it very helpful in terms of security, risk, and compliance.

Security boosts and seamless server access enhance workplace flexibility
I really love the way Orca Security worked. A potential improvement could be additional security features for the two-step authentication, such as fingerprint recognition similar to what Checkpoint does. That could be something to consider, though it's more about convenience than security as we didn't have any security issues.The timeout settings could be made more customizable, as sometimes if I leave the office early, it's still running unless manually turned off. The process of turning it off isn't very straightforward, so making it easier to turn off manually would be beneficial. It would be good for any business to implement so they don't have to use a VPN. Security in today's age is important, and if a company can afford it, they should get it as it's the most valuable protection against threats.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its storyline, which helps trace an event back to its source, like an email or someone clicking on a link."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to gain deep visibility into the workloads inside containers."
"You not only get to know about vulnerabilities and misconfigurations but also some of the actual"
"The Offensive Security Engine, powered by impressive AI/ML capabilities, seamlessly integrates with cloud infrastructure to analyze data and provide optimal security solutions."
"Singularity Cloud Workload Security provides us with better security detection and more visibility. It is another resource that we can use to detect vulnerabilities in our company's systems. For example, it can help us detect new file processes that we are not familiar with, which could be used by attackers to exploit our systems. Singularity Cloud Workload Security can also help us diagnose and analyze data to determine whether it is malicious or not. Singularity Cloud Workload Security is like another pair of eyes that can help us protect our systems from cyberattacks."
"Support has been very helpful and provides regular feedback and help whenever needed. They've been very useful."
"We use the infrastructure as code scanning, which is good."
"It's helped free up staff time so that they can work on other projects."
"The compliance reporting feature helped us maintain a baseline of compliance within the information security policies."
"I would definitely recommend Google Cloud Security Command Center to others."
"It simplifies compliance efforts."
"Most people use the threat detection dashboard."
"The visibility Orca provides into my environment is at the highest level... When I dropped them into the environment, from the very get-go I had more insight into the risks in my environment than I had had during the entire two and a half years I had been here."
"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."
"It's for protection. It's an agentless tool. We don't need to install anything at a customer's premises. We can just scan the entire assets in the cloud."
"I find Orca Security's CIEM feature invaluable, as it focuses on entitlement and posture management, identifying assets with older OS versions, and asset misconfiguration."
"Orca's dashboard is excellent. My team needs to be able to focus on specific areas for improvement in our cloud environment. And most recently, we've started to get good use out of sonar, the search capabilities, and the alert creation."
"One of the valuable features of Orca Security is its design and options that allow flexible filtering and user-friendly visualization."
"The most valuable feature of Orca Security is the automated scanning tool, user-friendliness, and ease of use."
"I would rate the quality of support as nine stars out of ten due to their quick and helpful responses."
 

Cons

"I would like SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security to add real-time detection of vulnerabilities and cloud misconfigurations."
"When we request any changes, they must be reflected in the next update."
"The main area for improvement I want to see is for the platform to become less resource-intensive. Right now, it can slow down processes on the machine, and it would be a massive improvement if it were more lightweight than it currently is."
"The Kubernetes scanning on the Oracle Cloud needs to be improved. It's on the roadmap. AWS has this capability, but it's unavailable for Oracle Cloud."
"There can be a specific type of alert showing that a new type of risk has been identified."
"The cloud-based operations might pose challenges in areas with limited or unavailable internet connectivity. Desktop features might be useful for smaller organizations with less complex security needs."
"There is scope for more application security posture management features. Additionally, the runtime protection needs attention."
"We've found a lot of false positives."
"The AI capabilities have been heavily promoted, but I haven't seen a significant impact."
"There is definitely room for improvement in Google Cloud Security Command Center. While the functionality is very native, compared to third-party tools that offer a variety of features for easy integrations and custom KPIs, Google Cloud Security Command Center lacks some of these functionalities, requiring complex workarounds for custom reporting, and given that customers often use hybrid environments, having a broader perspective is necessary for integration."
"Visibility can be improved along with automation."
"The solution could improve by making the dashboards more elaborative and more descriptive."
"The presentation of the data in the dashboard is a little bit chaotic."
"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."
"I would like to see an option to do security checks on a code level. This is possible because they have access to all of the code running in the cloud provider, and combining their site-scanning solution with that would be a nice add-on."
"I would be happy if they offered more automatic remediation options. They're working on that, but the more the better. For example, if they want you to harden a server, they would offer a hardening script that would be more aware of what's going on."
"I think Orca could give me more alerts. It could give me a dashboard with all the specific types of alerts I want to see for the day. It should just be one click."
"I would like to see better customization options for security frameworks and better integration with reporting tools like Power BI or Grafana dashboards."
"It's not all clouds that they are currently onboarded with. For instance, they are not yet with public cloud and many other private clouds."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am not involved in the pricing, but it is cost-effective."
"Pricing is based on modules, which was ideal for us."
"PingSafe's primary advantage is its ability to consolidate multiple tools into a single user interface, but, beyond this convenience, it may not offer significant additional benefits to justify its price."
"While I'm slightly out of touch with pricing, I know SentinelOne is much cheaper than other products."
"Singularity Cloud Workload Security's licensing and price were cheaper than the other solutions we looked at."
"SentinelOne provided competitive pricing compared to other vendors, and we are satisfied with the deal."
"It's not cheap, but it is worth the price."
"PingSafe is fairly priced."
"Initially, it used to be relatively expensive, starting at around four or five hundred dollars."
"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."
"The most expensive solution is Palo Alto. They claim to be very robust. The next most expensive is Wiz, followed by Orca and all the rest."
"Its license is a bit expensive."
"Overall, the pricing is reasonable and the discounts have been acceptable."
"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."
"The price is a bit expensive for smaller organizations."
"Orca Security is cheaper compared to other solutions in the same space."
"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."
