In his role as CPO, Dorfman will oversee global product management, design, and strategy for Orca's platform. His mandate is to advance next-generation capabilities that unify risk visibility, vulnerability management, and remediation automation within a single AI-powered workspace. The goal is to provide faster, data-driven protection that allows organizations to strengthen their security posture without impeding the speed of innovation, a critical balance as companies adopt AI and cloud technologies at an unprecedented pace.

His customer-driven mindset and record of innovation will be instrumental as we expand our AI-first platform and shape the next era of cloud protection."

The appointment of Gera Dorfman underscores the strategic importance of product leadership in the evolving cloud security landscape. As the attack surface expands with AI and multi-cloud adoption, security platforms must themselves become more intelligent and integrated. Dorfman's experience in driving AI-centric security product strategy is a clear asset for Orca as it seeks to differentiate its platform and help enterprises turn cloud security from a compliance necessity into a strategic advantage.
