Key Takeaways
- Orca Workflows lets you build multi-step, automated response playbooks directly in the platform, chaining actions, time delays, approvals, and scheduled runs into a single flow.
- Workflows are a natural extension of Orca’s automation, adding sequencing, human-in-the-loop verification, and scheduled triggers on top of the actions and querying your team already uses.
- Workflows can trigger Orca’s Core and Custom Agents as steps in a flow, so a query can hand an alert straight to an agent, like the Threat Investigator, to gather deep risk context the moment it fires.
- Everything runs where your cloud risk and context already live, so your team responds faster without rebuilding logic in a separate tool.
Accelerate your Signal to Action Pipeline
Most real security responses aren’t isolated to a single action. They’re a sequence of steps that carry an alert all the way from observation to action. An alert fires, open a ticket, wait for the owner to respond, escalate if they don’t, then close the alert with a reason once it’s handled. Now with Orca Workflows, you have the tools to build and customize that entire sequence as one automated playbook, all inside the platform where your cloud context already lives.
Your Team, Your Workflow
Workflows chain as many steps as your response needs, and each step runs only when the one before it finishes. You get the full set of actions your team expects, from changing risk scores and dismissing or snoozing alerts, to opening tickets in Jira or ServiceNow, notifying Slack, email, or a webhook, and triggering auto-remediation.
On top of those, Workflows add the pieces that turn a set of actions into a real playbook. Time delays pause action for minutes, hours, or days before the next step runs. Human verification steps pause a workflow until a named approver signs off, with automatic handling if the approval times out. Scheduled triggers run on a set timetable, so a weekly hygiene sweep can run every Monday morning, open tickets for what it finds, and post a digest to your team.
Workflows can also bring Orca’s agents into the sequence. Both the Orca Core Agents and your own Custom Agents appear right in the builder and triggered as a step in the sequence. An alert can be passed to a core agent like the Orca Threat Investigator, which gathers deep risk context the instant it fires, and the steps that follow can act on what the agent returns, routing, escalating, or resolving based on its findings. Your team initiates the right agentic investigation at the exact moment it’s needed.
Workflows are easily created using an intuitive, visual drag-and-drop canvas. Orca provides a gallery of ready-made templates that can help you get you started without requiring you to build entirely from scratch.
Context that Fits the Way You Work
Workflows build on the automation you already run in Orca, and nothing needs to be torn out to use it. Your existing automations keep working exactly as they do today, and Workflows operate seamlessly alongside them. Because the whole thing lives inside Orca, every step carries the same context that tells your team what actually matters, and you never have to rebuild your cloud-risk logic somewhere else to act on it. It’s security that fits the way you work.
