- Orca Security Platform
Best for: Teams running many clouds that want agentless coverage
It earns its place because it reaches more cloud providers than most picks here without installing anything, which suits companies with accounts spread across several clouds. Since the scanning is agentless, ask how it detects and stops attacks while workloads run, and how quickly new findings appear.

- Upwind Cloud Security Platform
Best for: Mid-market cloud-native teams building security into the full SDLC
The trade-off is maturity. Upwind is a newer entrant compared to Wiz, CrowdStrike, or Palo Alto Networks, and the integration ecosystem is thinner. The platform is sized for mid-market and enterprise, and it fits best in cloud-native organizations where the development and security teams are working closely together. If you need deep integrations with a broad set of third-party solutions on day one, validate the integration roadmap before signing a contract.
