Orca Security announced the acquisition of Opus, a cutting-edge, rapidly growing startup specializing in agentic AI-driven automation and orchestration. This strategic acquisition brings to Orca a world-class team and foundational technology to lead the company's next phase: evolving from observation and prioritization to agentic AI-based remediation and prevention.

This move marks a major milestone in Orca's journey as the leading cloud security innovator and the broader Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) market landscape. By integrating Opus' talent and expertise, Orca is the first CNAPP to not only identify and prioritize cloud security risks but also remediate and prevent them autonomously, at scale, and with ease.

"This is the next big leap for Orca and the cloud security industry," said Gil Geron, CEO and co-founder of Orca Security. "We've already set the standard for agentless visibility and prioritization. With the acquisition of Opus, we're moving decisively into the era of intelligent action, where cloud security problems are not just seen, but solved automatically."

Opus was founded by Meny Har and Or Gabay, part of the founding team at Siemplify (acquired by Google Cloud in 2021), and quickly emerged as a key innovator in cloud-native remediation. With the acquisition of Opus, Orca is deepening its investment in agentic AI to drive the next generation of cloud risk resolution - empowering organizations to respond in real time, reduce manual overhead, and streamline remediation at scale.

"Orca invented the current approach to cloud security, and it's constantly raised the bar through continuous innovation," said Meny Har, co-founder and CEO at Opus. "At Opus, our mission has always been to close the last mile - making it radically easier to get security issues fixed. Joining forces with a category leader like Orca gives us the platform to take that mission further than ever before, leveraging Agentic AI to transform how risks are resolved at scale."
