How TigerGate Works

TigerGate combines agentless cloud scanning with agent-based runtime protection for complete security coverage

1

Code & Container Scanning

Unlike Orca, TigerGate scans your source code with SAST, SCA, secrets detection, and container vulnerability scanning before deployment.

2

Cloud Security (CSPM)

Like Orca, we provide agentless cloud security scanning with 576+ CIS benchmark checks across AWS, GCP, Azure, and Kubernetes.

3

Runtime Monitoring

TigerGate adds eBPF-based runtime protection that Orca doesn't offer. Detect and block threats in production in real-time.

The TigerGate Difference

Orca provides excellent agentless cloud security. TigerGate extends this with code scanning, runtime protection, and flexible deployment options for complete coverage.

  • All Orca features + code security + runtime monitoring
  • Agent-based runtime protection with eBPF
  • Self-hosted deployment option available
  • Transparent pricing for startups and enterprises

Why Teams Choose TigerGate Over Orca

Get everything Orca offers plus code security and runtime monitoring

Complete Code Security

TigerGate includes SAST, SCA, secrets scanning, and DAST—capabilities Orca doesn't provide. Secure code before it reaches production.

Orca: No code security features

Runtime Protection

eBPF-based runtime monitoring provides real-time threat detection and blocking. Catch threats that agentless scanning misses.

Orca: Agentless only, no runtime protection

Multi-Cloud CSPM

Comprehensive cloud security scanning with 576+ checks across AWS, GCP, Azure, and Kubernetes. CIS benchmark compliance.

Orca: Cloud security ✓

Flexible Deployment

Deploy on your infrastructure, in your cloud, or use our managed SaaS. Self-hosted option for data sovereignty.

Orca: SaaS-only, no self-hosted option

Transparent Pricing

Clear, predictable pricing starting at $499/month. No enterprise-only sales cycles or hidden fees.

Compliance Automation

Automated evidence collection for SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS with Vanta and Drata integration.

Orca: Compliance features ✓
"We evaluated Orca and TigerGate side-by-side. While Orca had excellent cloud security, we needed code scanning and runtime protection too. TigerGate gave us all three in one platform at half the price. The self-hosted option was a bonus for our compliance requirements."

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about choosing TigerGate over Orca Security

TigerGate provides comparable agentless cloud security to Orca with 576+ CIS benchmark checks across AWS, GCP, Azure, and Kubernetes. We use similar scanning methodologies for vulnerability detection, misconfiguration analysis, and compliance validation. Both platforms provide strong cloud security posture management.
Yes! TigerGate supports both agentless cloud scanning (like Orca) AND agent-based runtime protection. This gives you the best of both worlds: comprehensive cloud visibility without agents, plus deep runtime monitoring with our optional eBPF agent.
TigerGate adds: (1) Code security with SAST, SCA, and secrets scanning, (2) eBPF runtime monitoring for production threat detection, (3) DAST and API security testing, (4) AI/LLM security scanning, (5) Self-hosted deployment option, (6) Vanta/Drata integration, (7) Transparent startup pricing.
Yes. TigerGate covers all of Orca's cloud security capabilities while adding code scanning, runtime protection, and more advanced security testing. You get more complete security coverage than Orca provides.
Orca requires contacting sales for enterprise pricing. TigerGate offers transparent pricing starting at $499/month for startups with all features included. Most customers save 40-60% vs Orca while getting additional capabilities (code security, runtime protection).
Yes! The runtime protection agent is optional. You can use TigerGate for agentless cloud and code scanning only, or add the eBPF agent for runtime monitoring. It's flexible based on your needs.
Yes. TigerGate supports AWS, GCP, Azure, Oracle Cloud, and Kubernetes—the same clouds as Orca. We provide multi-account scanning, role assumption for cross-account access, and compliance framework mapping.
Most teams complete the migration in 1-2 days. TigerGate uses similar cloud API integrations and can import existing findings from Orca. We provide migration support and can run in parallel during the transition.
