`
`ORCA SECURITY LTD.’S SIXTH SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSES AND OBJECTIONS
`TO DEFENDANT WIZ INC.’S FIRST SET OF INTERROGATORIES (NOS. 1-13)
`
`Pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 26 and 33 and the District of Delaware’s Civil
`
`Local Rule 26, Plaintiff Orca Security Ltd. (“Orca” or “Plaintiff”) hereby provides its responses
`
`and objections to Wiz, Inc.’s (“Defendant” or “Wiz”) First Set of Interrogatories (“Interrogatories”
`
`or “Interrogatory”) as set forth below.
`
`GENERAL OBJECTIONS
`
`
`
`The following general objections are incorporated by reference into Plaintiff’s responses
`
`to each and every Interrogatory.
`
`1.
`
`Orca’s responses are based upon information currently known to it through
`
`reasonable investigation thus far, and are subject to amendment, supplementation, and/or other
`
`modification. Discovery in this matter is ongoing, and during the course of subsequent discovery,
`
`Orca may become aware of additional information that may be responsive to these Interrogatories.
`
`As a result, Orca may update, amend, supplement, or otherwise modify these responses. By
`
`providing these responses, Orca does not, and does not intend to, waive its right to rely on evidence
`
`or information that is subsequently discovered through its continuing investigation and/or included
`
`in an amended or supplemental response. In addition, these responses are made without prejudice
`
`
`
`
`

`

`Case 1:23-cv-00758-JLH-SRF Document 143-9 Filed 09/11/24 Page 3 of 9 PageID #: 3358
`CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY
`
`
`
`
`In compliance with post-AIA 35 U.S.C. § 112, the entire written description, including
`
`provisional and non-provisional applications of each Asserted Patent, “contain[s] a written
`
`description of the invention, and of the manner and process of making and using it, in such full,
`
`clear, concise, and exact terms as to enable any person skilled in the art to which it pertains, or
`
`with which it is most nearly connected, to make and use the same,” and “set[s] forth the best mode
`
`contemplated by the inventor . . . of carrying out the invention.”
`
`Orca is continuing its investigation of the facts and may supplement, amend, and/or modify
`
`this response as further information becomes available. Orca may supplement, amend, and/or
`
`modify this response as discovery proceeds and at a reasonable time in accordance with the
`
`Scheduling Order.
`
`INTERROGATORY NO. 6:
`
`For each Asserted Claim of the Asserted Patents, describe with specificity and precision
`the first offer for sale, sale, public use, and publication, including for each claim the Date it
`occurred, the manner of the disclosures, and identify all Persons knowledgeable regarding the
`disclosures and the Documents related to those disclosures.
`
`RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 6:
`
`Orca incorporates all of its General Objections as if specifically set forth herein. Orca
`
`further objects to this Interrogatory as overly broad, unduly burdensome, and not proportional to
`
`the needs of the case, including as to its request for “all Persons.” Orca objects to this Interrogatory
`
`to the extent it seeks expert discovery prior to the scheduled time to exchange said information
`
`under the Scheduling Order. Orca objects to this Interrogatory to the extent it calls for a legal
`
`conclusion. Orca further objects to this Interrogatory to the extent it seeks information protected
`
`by the attorney-client privilege, work-product immunity, and/or any other applicable exception or
`
`privilege. Orca further objects to this Interrogatory to the extent it seeks information that is
`
`publicly available and equally available to Wiz as to Orca.

`Case 1:23-cv-00758-JLH-SRF Document 143-9 Filed 09/11/24 Page 5 of 9 PageID #: 3360
`CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY
`
`
`
`
`At least as early as 2019-2020, Orca has offered for sale, sold, and/or publicly demonstrated
`
`certain inventions embodied in claims 1, 9, and 16 of the ’031 Patent, claims 1, 18, and 22 of the
`
`’032 Patent, claims 1, 13, and 22 of the ’685 Patent, claims 1, 16, and 19 of the ’809 Patent, claims
`
`1, 14, and 15 of the ’926 Patent, and claims 1, 15, and 18 of the ’326 Patent.
`
`Throughout 2019 and 2020, Orca published numerous articles and other public documents
`
`describing the functionality of Orca’s Platform including inventions embodied in the asserted
`
`claims of the Asserted Patents. For example, on June 12, 2019, Orca published an article
`
`describing Orca’s Platform and its functionalities, including Orca’s “SideScanning™ engine” that
`
`“provide[s] full stack visibility” into “all virtual assets” and “[d]etects application vulnerabilities,
`
`critical security misconfigurations, compromised assets and use of leaked credentials.” See
`
`https://orca.security/resources/blog/orca-security-reinventing-security-visibility-for-the-cloud-
`
`era/ (“Orca Security: Reinventing Security Visibility for the Cloud Era” (June 12, 2019)). Also
`
`on June 12, 2019, Orca announced that it received $6.5 million in seed funding for Orca’s Platform.
`
`See
`
`https://orca.security/resources/blog/orca-security-lands-6-5m-seed-round-to-deliver-it-
`
`security-teams-unprecedented-full-stack-cloud-visibility-securing-high-velocity-cloud-growth/
`
`(“Orca Security Lands $6.5M Seed Round to Deliver IT Security Teams Unprecedented Full Stack
`
`Cloud Visibility, Securing High-Velocity Cloud Growth” (June 12, 2019)). As another example,
`
`on February 13, 2020, Orca published an article describing the Orca Platform’s functionality to
`
`detect weak passwords.
`
` See https://orca.security/resources/blog/how-orcas-cloud-security-
`
`solution-detects-weak-passwords (“How Orca’s Cloud Security Solution Detects Weak
`
`Passwords” (Feb. 13, 2020)). Orca continued to publish articles describing Orca’s Platform
`
`throughout 2020. See, e.g., https://orca.security/resources/blog/not-all-risks-are-equal-why-
`
`context-matters-in-cloud-security/ (“Not all Risks are Equal: Why Context Matters in Cloud

`
`
`
`Security” (Feb. 3, 2020)); https://orca.security/resources/blog/lateral-movement-attack/ (“Identify
`
`Lateral Movement Risks
`
`in Your Cloud
`
`(Pre-Breach)”
`
`(July
`
`1,
`
`2020));
`
`https://orca.security/resources/blog/orca-security-series-b-funding/ (“Cloud security was broken.
`
`We’re fixing it.” (Dec. 8, 2020)). Also in 2020, Orca published white papers describing Orca’s
`
`Platform and its functionalities, including Orca’s CSPM, SideScanning™, vulnerability and
`
`sensitive data scanning, alerts, and severity and/or risk determinations and prioritization, among
`
`other things. See, e.g., ORCA_0011488; see also SideScanning™ Technical Brief (May 2020).
`
`Orca also made various public presentations and videos demonstrating relevant features of
`
`Orca’s Platform throughout 2019-2020. For example, Orca posted a video dated October 21, 2019
`
`demonstrating Orca’s Platform and its functionalities, including integration with cloud computing
`
`environments,
`
`and
`
`detection
`
`of
`
`vulnerabilities
`
`and
`
`sensitive
`
`data.
`
`
`
`See
`
`https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwZ-7guGHw0 (Orca Security, “Orca Security-Deep Cloud
`
`Inspection” (Oct. 21, 2019)). As another example, Orca presented Orca’s Platform at CPX360 in
`
`New Orleans in January 2020, during which Orca described, for example, the functionalities of
`
`Orca’s Platform including vulnerability and sensitive data detection functionalities. See
`
`https://orca.security/resources/video/cloud-security-cpx360-2020-winner-of-20x20-innovation-
`
`challenge/ (“#CPX360 2020 Winner of 20X20 Innovation Challenge” (Jan. 2020)). And, as
`
`another example, Orca’s video from 2020 shows scanning AWS, GCP, and Azure cloud
`
`computing
`
`environments
`
`using
`
`read-only
`
`APIs.
`
`
`
`See
`
`https://orca.security/resources/video/sidescanning-a-cloud-environment-mri/ (“An MRI for Your
`
`Cloud Environment” (2020)). Orca also published a video in which it described Orca’s Platform’s
`
`functionality to perform scanning of AWS cloud computing environments using an API. See
`
`https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdBsE2VqjpU (“AWS Onboarding with Orca Security | Orca

`Case 1:23-cv-00758-JLH-SRF Document 143-9 Filed 09/11/24 Page 7 of 9 PageID #: 3362
`CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY
`
`
`
`Security and its Partners” (Apr. 21, 2020)). Orca published another video describing its
`
`SideScanning™ in May 2020. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMLySmHvzFw (Orca
`
`Security, “Orca Presentation” (May 12, 2020). And Orca published a webinar describing Orca’s
`
`Platform’s functionalities to perform agentless scanning of all assets across cloud computing
`
`environments, such as AWS, detect vulnerabilities, scan inactive or stopped virtual machines, and
`
`provide alerts and risk level determinations. See https://orca.security/resources/on-demand-
`
`webinar/x-ray-vision-for-public-cloud/ (“How I got ‘X-ray and thermal vision’ across our public
`
`cloud infrastructure” (Sept. 2020)).
`
`Orca is continuing its investigation of the facts and may supplement, amend, and/or modify
`
`this response as further information becomes available.
`
`INTERROGATORY NO. 7:
`
`For each Asserted Claim of the Asserted Patents, identify any secondary considerations or
`objective indicia of non-obviousness, describing with specificity and precision all facts and
`circumstances, and identifying all Documents and Persons relating to your contention, including
`without limitation all facts and evidence on which you intend to rely to allege a nexus between
`such secondary considerations or objective indicia and the subject matter covered by any claim.
`
`RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 7:
`
`Orca incorporates all of its General Objections as if specifically set forth herein. Orca
`
`further objects to this Interrogatory as overly broad, unduly burdensome, and not proportional to
`
`the needs of the case, including because it requests identification of “all facts and circumstances,”
`
`“all Documents and Persons relating to your contention,” and “all facts and evidence.” Orca
`
`objects to this Interrogatory on the grounds that the Asserted Patents are presumed valid under 35
`
`U.S.C. § 282, and the burden of establishing invalidity of a patent or any claim thereof shall rest
`
`on the party asserting such invalidity. Orca objects to this interrogatory because Wiz has not
`
`provided any contentions that any claim of any Asserted Patent is obvious. Orca objects to this

`
`
`
`
`Orca incorporates by reference its responses, including supplements thereto, to
`
`Interrogatory No. 12.
`
`Orca is continuing its investigation of the facts and may supplement, amend, and/or modify
`
`this response as further information becomes available.
