re:Invent 2025, Alert Fatigue, and Unified Cloud Security | October 2025

CEO Corner

As we head to re:Invent, I'm struck by a growing gap in cloud security. Alert fatigue is paralyzing security teams. Attackers move faster than ever. Organizations juggling dozens of disconnected tools are losing. The threat landscape has fundamentally changed, and traditional approaches don't scale anymore.

But I'm seeing a clear pattern: teams moving toward unified platforms with agentless visibility, reachability analysis, and AI-driven prioritization are breaking through. They're reducing alert noise by orders of magnitude. They're detecting threats faster. They're actually securing their environments instead of just managing tools.

That's what excites me most about Re:Invent. Not showcasing what we've built, but connecting with teams ready to rethink cloud security from the ground up. The outcomes matter more than the tools. I look forward to seeing you in Las Vegas.

Stay secure,

- Gil Geron

AI: The Double-Edged Sword of Cybersecurity

Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping cybersecurity, but it cuts both ways. AI helps defenders strengthen security through faster threat detection, automated response, and smarter risk prioritization. Meanwhile, attackers use AI to craft convincing phishing campaigns, develop adaptive malware, and execute attacks at unprecedented scale. Organizations using AI for security save an average of $1.9 million per breach. Success depends on leveraging AI's strengths while preparing for the new threats it enables.

Reachability Analysis: Prioritize Real Vulnerabilities on AWS

Vulnerability exploitation is accelerating, with nearly one-third of exploits occurring before or on the day of CVE disclosure. Traditional tools overwhelm security teams with noise. Orca Security's Reachability Analysis helps teams distinguish between vulnerabilities in components actually used at runtime versus those that pose no real risk. By combining agentless analysis with dynamic runtime telemetry, Orca reduces exploitable vulnerabilities by 90% and eliminates alert fatigue.
