Orca Security Integration with Phoenix Security ASPM Vulnerability Management From Code to Cloud

Orca Security Integration ASPM Phoenix Security
Phoenix Security ASPM adds runtime risk detection and agentless cloud misconfiguration remediation through Orca Security integration

Overview

Phoenix Security ASPM now integrates full runtime risk telemetry and agentless cloud visibility through its latest expansion, powered by Orca Security. To support scalable DevSecOps this release enhances automation by combining deep code-level security with real-time insights across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes — all within a single Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) platform.

Security and engineering teams can now detect, assign, and resolve vulnerabilities across code, infrastructure, and cloud workloads using a single streamlined workflow. The integration connects misconfigurations, secrets, identity risks, and code flaws with runtime exposure and business impact — all mapped in real time.

Release Date: 8 July 2025

Orca Runtime Risk Intelligence for DevSecOps Efficiency

Orca Security uses SideScanning™ to inspect workloads, containers, and cloud storage without requiring agents. Phoenix Security now pulls this data directly into its ASPM engine, where runtime signals are matched to ownership, context, and severity scoring.

To improve prioritization, the platform evaluates every finding based on deployment exposure and infrastructure reach. Whether a misconfigured storage bucket or an exposed credential in a running pod, the issue is ranked according to real-world risk.

Orca-Powered Workflow for Unified Vulnerability Management

1. Agentless Cloud Inventory and Risk Correlation
Orca continuously scans AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes environments. Phoenix Security ingests these findings and links them to code repositories, infrastructure components, and application assets. Teams no longer waste time triaging disconnected data across silos.

2. Prioritization Based on Runtime Exposure
Issues identified through SAST, SCA, or secrets scanning are enhanced with live environment telemetry. A dormant vulnerability in an unused image stays quiet. The same issue inside an exposed production container gets immediate priority.

3. Streamlined Cloud Misconfiguration Remediation
Excessive permissions, public-facing services, and open ports are now tied directly to their source in the codebase or infrastructure-as-code configuration. Phoenix assigns the issue to the asset owner, logs the remediation path, and tracks its progress in a single backlog.

4. End-to-End DevSecOps Coverage
From the first commit to deployment, all static and dynamic security issues now flow through one DevSecOps pipeline. Exception handling, SLA enforcement, and remediation tracking follow consistent policies across both application and cloud environments.

ASPM Optimization for Code-to-Cloud Security

The addition of Orca strengthens Phoenix Security’s ASPM platform across key DevSecOps domains:

  • Orca-Driven Code-to-Cloud Security Visibility
    Vulnerabilities are no longer viewed in isolation. They’re contextualized across the full stack with Phoenix Security and Orca, with live cloud data layered into prioritization logic.
  • Orca Data and Intelligent Deduplication, Assignment, and contextual prioritization by Phoenix Security
    Developers see one issue per root cause. Security teams avoid alert fatigue. Owners are automatically identified by repository, branch, or cloud service role.
  • Full-Stack Security Graph Enriched by Orca vulnerabilities
    Runtime risk, misconfigurations, SAST findings, secrets, and cloud permissions now feed into the same contextual risk engine, enabling a comprehensive, real-time view of the full-stack posture.

Now Available

Orca Security’s cloud runtime scanning and risk intelligence is live for all Phoenix Security ASPM customers on current version. The integration activates in minutes and supports hybrid and multi-cloud environments without agent overhead.

Phoenix allows users to track the status of targets through status management features e.g. In Progress, Disabled, etc.

Target management feature enables users to customise assets being fed into Phoenix software by selecting targets to be fetch.

One platform. One risk model. Total visibility across code and cloud

Start mapping your application security posture across cloud and runtime environments — all from a single platform.

AI-Agent: A Human-Centric Use of AI Agents to Fix ASPM and Vulnerability Management

Most enterprises drown in vulnerability data yet starve for attribution. By mapping ownership, location, exposure, and business impact, Phoenix Security’s ASPM turns that swamp into a laser‑focused task list. Only then do three autonomous agents—Researcher, Analyzer, and Remediator—kick in, collaborating to recommend fixes and workflow automation that 10× security‑engineering output. Skip the context and you’ll waste money, requests, tokens, carbon, and human patience on hallucinated advice. For startups, the focus is clear—establish visibility and ensure core security practices are in place. Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) tools provide a straightforward, automated approach to detecting vulnerabilities and enforcing policies. These solutions help reduce risk quickly without overburdening small security teams. Mature organizations, on the other hand, are tackling a different set of problems. With the sheer number of vulnerabilities and an increasingly complicated threat landscape, enterprises need to fine-tune their approach. The goal shifts toward intelligent remediation, leveraging real-time threat intelligence and advanced risk prioritization. ASPM tools at this stage do more than just detect vulnerabilities—they provide context, enable proactive decision-making, and streamline the entire remediation process. The emergence of AI-assisted code generation has further complicated security in both environments. These tools, while speeding up development, are often responsible for introducing new vulnerabilities into applications at a faster pace than traditional methods. The challenge is clear: AI-generated code can hide flaws that are difficult to catch in the rush of innovation. Both startups and enterprises need to adjust their security posture to account for these new risks. ASPM platforms, like Phoenix Security, provide automated scanning of code before it hits production, ensuring that flaws don’t make it past the first line of defense. Meanwhile, organizations are also grappling with the backlog crisis in the National Vulnerability Database (NVD). A staggering number of CVEs remain unprocessed, leaving many businesses with limited data on which to base their patching decisions. While these delays leave companies vulnerable, Phoenix Security steps in by cross-referencing CVE data with known exploits and live threat intelligence, helping organizations stay ahead despite the lag in official vulnerability reporting. Whether just starting their security program or managing a complex infrastructure, organizations need a toolset that adapts with them. Phoenix Security enables businesses of any size to prioritize vulnerabilities based on actual risk, not just theoretical impact, helping security teams navigate the evolving threat landscape with speed and accuracy.
