LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Orca Security today announced a robust global partner program to further extend the reach of its SaaS-based platform for workload and data protection, cloud security posture management, and vulnerability management to enable customers across all markets to safely innovate on Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
The Orca Security Partner Program helps partners around the world to grow their businesses and better serve the security and compliance needs of their clients, while being built on a shared mission to secure joint customers’ public cloud infrastructures.

Orca Security’s program brings together three partner types to deliver greater customer value and opportunity including solution partners, cloud service providers, and technology integration partners:
Solution Partners
