ORCHID SECURITY, INC.

Orchid Security is an identity-first security orchestration platform that leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) to unify and secure complex identity environments for enterprises. The company's core mission is to bring clarity and control to the intricate landscape of enterprise identity security by automating the discovery, assessment, remediation, and management of identity security posture. Headquartered in New York, NY, United States, Orchid Security was founded by Roy Katmor, Robert Wiseman, and Ido Kelson.

The company's primary offering is its Identity-first Security Orchestration platform, which continuously discovers both self-hosted and SaaS applications. It assesses their native identity controls, identifies gaps, and facilitates the remediation of compliance and cyber exposure from a centralized point of control, eliminating the need for extensive manual effort or application recoding. Orchid Security's platform provides continuous identity observability across applications, utilizing LLMs to interpret application instructions and understand identity behavior. A key focus is on uncovering and managing "identity dark matter," which includes unmanaged service accounts, legacy application stores, local users, hardcoded accounts, and rogue AI agents that operate outside traditional identity and access management systems. Orchid Security serves large enterprises, including Fortune 500 companies, across various sectors such as finance, manufacturing, healthcare, and retail, particularly those with complex application landscapes or operating in regulated industries.

In January 2025, Orchid Security raised $36 million in seed funding, co-led by Team8 and Intel Capital. The company has since been recognized by Gartner in March 2026 as a Representative Vendor in the Market Guide for Guardian Agents for its capabilities in managing identities and access for AI agents. In May 2026, Orchid Security released its "Identity Gap: 2026 Snapshot" report, which highlighted that invisible identities now outnumber managed accounts in enterprise environments. The company is actively sharpening its focus on addressing non-human identity risks and AI agent governance, positioning itself as a crucial layer in modern identity security infrastructure. Roy Katmor serves as CEO, with Tal Herman as Chief Product Officer.
