The size and speed is what protects the killer whale. These whales travel in pods of 12-14 at once. if a killer whale was alone it could get attacked by a Great White Shark or another species.
Orcas protect themselves by forming pods (groups or schools) to keep safe.

Orcas, a.k.a killer whales, are predators ,and as such it is their predatory nature that protects them. They are strong and fast with big teeth and can fend for themselves. A mother will protect her calf by attacking any intruders, and several mother orcas together would discourage almost any threat.
It doesnt need to, killer whales dont have preditors.

If it did have to protect itself, the great strength of its jaws and teeth would do the job.
