This move marks a major milestone in Orca's journey as the leading cloud security innovator and the broader Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) market landscape. By integrating Opus' talent and expertise, Orca is the first CNAPP to not only identify and prioritize cloud security risks but also remediate and prevent them autonomously, at scale, and with ease.
'This is the next big leap for Orca and the cloud security industry,' said Gil Geron, CEO and co-founder of Orca Security. 'We've already set the standard for agentless visibility and prioritization. With the acquisition of Opus, we're moving decisively into the era of intelligent action, where cloud security problems are not just seen, but solved automatically.'
Opus was founded by Meny Har and Or Gabay, part of the founding team at Siemplify (acquired by Google Cloud in 2021), and quickly emerged as a key innovator in cloud-native remediation. With the acquisition of Opus, Orca is deepening its investment in agentic AI to drive the next generation of cloud risk resolution – empowering organizations to respond in real time, reduce manual overhead, and streamline remediation at scale.
'Orca invented the current approach to cloud security, and it's constantly raised the bar through continuous innovation,' said Meny Har, co-founder and CEO at Opus. 'At Opus, our mission has always been to close the last mile — making it radically easier to get security issues fixed. Joining forces with a category leader like Orca gives us the platform to take that mission further than ever before, leveraging Agentic AI to transform how risks are resolved at scale.'

Wedbush Boosts IBM Target to $32

Wedbush kept an Outperform on IBM (NYSE:IBM) and lifted its price target to $325 from $300, betting on a new AI-fueled growth phase. Analysts led by Daniel Ives cited fresh field checks showing robust demand for IBM's software cloud and AI offerings. IBM features prominently on Wedbush's AI 30 list, reflecting conviction that it's underowned despite strong YTD performance. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 10 Warning Signs with ADI. The firm points to IBM's $6 billion+ GenAI book as a runway for sustained top-line expansion, with ongoing product launches aimed at capturing emerging use cases. A key catalyst is the continued shift toward hybrid cloud and containerized AIWedbush expects 75% of AI workloads to run in containers by 2027. On the ground, Ives' team sees momentum across WatsonX, AI agents, Red Hat, and OpenShift as enterprises lean on IBM to architect AI strategies. Looking further ahead, IBM's quantum roadmapincluding the upcoming Quantum Nighthawk chip and its Quantum Starling platformpositions it to tackle the multibillion-dollar quantum computing market. IBM's blend of legacy hybrid-cloud strength, accelerating GenAI adoption, and early quantum forays differentiates it from peers. As more enterprises seek productivity gains from AI, IBM's broad portfolio could unlock higher-margin software growth and defend its leadership in enterprise IT. Investors should monitor GenAI revenue cadence, container penetration rates, and early quantum milestones to validate whether IBM's renaissance accelerates toward that $325 target.
