Orca Security announced on Tuesday a $210 million Series C round led by CapitalG, Alphabet's independent growth fund, and Redpoint Ventures. The funding follows a December 2020 B round and cements Orca Security's position as the cloud security innovation leader, and the world's fastest cybersecurity company to reach unicorn status.

In 2020, Orca Security has achieved more than 1,000% year-over-year growth and signed numerous forward-thinking organizations including Robinhood, Databricks, Unity, Live Oak Bank, Lemonade and BeyondTrust, among many others.
"By creating a security solution that actually works, we are solving a fundamental problem that has been broken since the inception of cloud security," said Avi Shua, co-founder and CEO of Orca Security. "In the face of increasing threats and rapidly expanding cloud estates, organizations can't be burdened with installing and maintaining agents and sidecars. We enable our customers to instantly protect their cloud environments, eliminate attack paths, fuel digital transformation, and meet compliance mandates."
