Jit + Orca Security: Correlate Cloud and Application Security for Smarter Risk Management

Today, we’re excited to announce Jit’s integration with Orca Security! This partnership enables security teams to correlate cloud security risks with application security risks to understand how the security of one resource impacts another.

Security teams today struggle with siloed tools and security insights, as well as inconsistent prioritization methods across tooling. Cloud security risks are siloed from application security risks—leading to gaps in visibility and inefficient remediation efforts.

With the Jit + Orca integration, organizations no longer need to manage security risks in silos. Instead, they can consolidate Orca-detected cloud risks, like misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, external exposure, lateral movement, and sensitive data at risk, with Jit’s AppSec findings, enriched with risk scoring and contextual insights—helping security teams understand how the security of one service impacts another, and understanding the likelihood of toxic combinations.

Our mutual customer, Ben Hacmon, the CISO at Perion, sums up the value of the integration nicely:

"Perion’s security efforts are focused on giving threat intelligence a much needed business context. Both Jit and Orca are core components that have been exemplary in improving this process. Their integration cuts down on investigation time and enhances our ability to prioritize issues that have real-world material impact.”

Why We Built the Integration

Mitigating security risks in cloud-native applications requires a comprehensive approach that spans both code and cloud infrastructure. Security teams typically rely on multiple tools to detect and remediate issues, including:

  1. Cloud Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPP) like Orca to detect infrastructure misconfigurations, protect sensitive data, secure cloud workloads, respond to cloud security attacks, and more.

  2. Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) platforms like Jit to detect code security issues, prioritize them based on runtime and business context, and empower developers  to secure everything they code.

Both solutions are essential, but using them separately presents key challenges:

  • Lack of Context for Security Prioritization: Cloud misconfigurations and code vulnerabilities don’t exist in isolation. To effectively prioritize security risks, teams need context—which issues are running in production, which are exposed to the internet, and which impact sensitive data. Without this information, security teams risk chasing down low-priority issues while missing the real threats.

  • Fragmented Security Workflows: Orca and Jit provide valuable insights, but when security findings are siloed, security teams may struggle to understand how the security one one service impacts another.

  • Inconsistent Prioritization and Delegation: Security teams need a single framework for assessing risk across code and cloud environments. When each tool uses different prioritization methods, teams struggle to triage and delegate issues consistently—leading to longer resolution times.

The Jit + Orca integration solves these challenges by bringing cloud and application security risks together into a single, developer-friendly security workflow.

How the Jit + Orca Integration Works

With this integration, Jit ingests Orca’s CNAPP findings and unifies them with Jit-detected security issues across code, dependencies, and IaC. Jit then enriches Orca’s findings with contextual risk scoring to help security teams and developers:

  1. Consolidate security risks to simplify investigation – A single view of related cloud risks and application vulnerabilities, making it easy to understand how the security of one service impacts another.

  2. Correlate Jit and Orca-detected security issues to flag high-risk services – view Orca-detected issues within the context of Jit’s Finding Graph to understand the likelihood of toxic combinations.

In the screenshot below, Jit detected a security misconfiguration for an IAM role, which is connected to an Orca-detected security issue – providing the user with a single place to map and correlate risks from both solutions.

Instead of detecting and investigating application and cloud security risks in silos, security teams can now correlate them in one place – providing a more holistic view of product security. This allows organizations to more easily detect toxic combinations across services, and remediate security issues in a single workflow.

The Use Case: A Unified Workflow for Cloud and AppSec

Imagine you’re the Head of Product Security, responsible for securing both cloud infrastructure and application code. You’ve selected Orca Security to detect cloud misconfigurations and Jit as your ASPM solution for application security.

Before this integration, remediation workflows may have looked something like this:

  • Constantly switching between Orca for cloud security risks and Jit for AppSec findings, without correlation to understand how different security issues are related.

  • Dealing with different prioritization methods that make it difficult to assess which issues need immediate attention.

  • Struggling to delegate security fixes consistently across engineering teams.

Now, with Jit + Orca, you can:

  • See everything in one place – Cloud misconfigurations and code vulnerabilities are unified in Jit’s security backlog.

  • Standardize prioritization – Jit enriches Orca’s findings with risk scoring to highlight the real threats.

  • Streamline remediation – Developers and security teams can triage, assign, and resolve security issues in a single workflow.

Unify Risk Management Across Cloud and Code

Security teams shouldn’t have to choose between cloud security and application security—both are essential for reducing risk. The Jit + Orca integration provides a single pane of glass for managing product security, ensuring organizations can:

  • Fix security issues before production – Developers get real-time security feedback within their workflow, so they can fix vulnerabilities early.

  • Understand the security posture of interconnected services – Quickly view how the security posture of one service impacts another and better understand the likelihood of toxic combinations.

  • Improve risk prioritization – Contextual risk scoring ensures security teams focus on issues that matter most.

By combining Jit’s ASPM capabilities with Orca’s CNAPP insights, teams can effectively manage risk across the entire cloud-native application stack—without disrupting development.
