Company named to list for second consecutive year; Recognizes most promising cybersecurity companies endorsed by leading CISOs, venture capitalists, and security figures

PORTLAND, Ore.: Orca Security, the pioneer of agentless cloud security, announced today that it has been honored by Notable Capital for its Rising in Cyber 2025. The independent list recognizes the most promising companies shaping the future of security in the eyes of Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), venture capital investors, and other security leaders.

Unlike traditional rankings, Rising in Cyber 2025 honorees were selected through a multi-stage process grounded in real-world validation. Leading cybersecurity venture firms submitted nominations, and nearly 150 CISOs and senior security executives voted on the final list, highlighting the companies solving the most urgent challenges facing today’s security teams.

"It is a privilege to receive this recognition from the Notable Capital community of security leaders for the second consecutive year,” said Gil Geron, Co-Founder and CEO of Orca Security. “This validates the fact that as organizations look for a best-in-breed cloud security partner, they are turning to Orca in record numbers. Our focus on securing our customers and making them more productive while pushing the boundaries of innovation allows us to move the market forward.”

Orca joins a cohort that has collectively raised over $7.8 billion according to Pitchbook as of May 2025, and is defining the next era of cybersecurity across key areas like cloud security, identity, application security, agentic AI, and security operations.

“The demand for cybersecurity innovation has never been greater. As the underlying technologies evolve and agentic AI reshapes everything from threat detection to team workflows, we’re witnessing a shift from reactive defense to proactive, intelligence-driven operations,” said Oren Yunger, Managing Partner at Notable Capital. “What makes this list special is that it reflects real-world validation—honorees were chosen by CISOs who face these challenges every day. Congratulations to this year’s Rising in Cyber companies for building the solutions that modern security leaders truly want and need.”

In celebration, honorees will be recognized today at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) alongside top security leaders and investors.

Orca’s inclusion on Notable Capital’s Rising in Cyber 2025 list closely follows the company’s strategic acquisition of Opus to lead the company’s next phase: evolving from observation and prioritization to agentic AI-based remediation and prevention. 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.
