Reduce Vulnerabilities on AWS with Orca Security’s Reachability Analysis

The article discusses how Orca Security's Reachability Analysis helps organizations reduce vulnerabilities in AWS environments by focusing on exploitable risks.

• Reachability Analysis distinguishes between vulnerabilities in actively used and unused software components
• Traditional vulnerability scanners generate too many alerts, causing alert fatigue for security teams
• Orca Security uses two key techniques:
  • Agentless Reachability Analysis: Static code inspection without agents
  • Dynamic Reachability Analysis: Runtime telemetry tracking
• The approach can reduce exploitable vulnerabilities by up to 90%
• Works across AWS services like ECR, EC2, Lambda, ECS, and EKS

By providing context-aware vulnerability prioritization, Orca Security helps security teams focus on real risks and improve their cloud security posture.
