Israeli cybersecurity startup Orca Security is suing local cloud security rival Wiz for patent infringement, alleging that its success and growth is built on “wholesale copying.” Orca has accused Wiz of taking its “revolutionary inventions” and creating a “copycat cloud security platform,” improperly trading off of Orca’s creations, according to a lawsuit filed in the US District Court, District of Delaware. “This copying is replete throughout Wiz’s business and has manifest in myriad ways,” it added.
Orca was founded in 2019 by Israeli-born cybersecurity technologist Avi Shua. In the four years since its founding, Orca has raised substantial investment funds and grown from fewer than a dozen to more than 400 employees today.
