Wiz

What is Wiz?

Wiz is a cloud security platform designed to protect everything organizations build and run in the cloud. It connects code, cloud, and runtime environments into a single security graph, giving security teams the end-to-end context they need to automate risk reduction and respond to threats. The platform is built for modern cloud environments and is used by more than 50% of Fortune 100 companies, including Salesforce, BMW, Slack, and Siemens. Wiz recently introduced Wiz Agents and Workflows, extending the platform's capabilities into AI-driven automation for security operations.

Key Features

• Security Graph: Connects code, cloud, and runtime data into a unified graph that provides context for identifying and prioritizing risks across the entire cloud environment.
• Wiz Code: A product module focused on security at the code level, helping teams find and address vulnerabilities before they reach production.
• Wiz Cloud: The core cloud security module, covering visibility and risk management across multi-cloud environments including AWS, GCP, and Azure.
• Wiz Defend: A module focused on threat detection and response at runtime so security teams to act on active threats in cloud workloads.
• Wiz Agents and Workflows: Recently launched AI-driven agents and automated workflows that allow security teams to operate at greater speed without sacrificing context.
• Integrations: Wiz supports integrations across cloud providers and third-party tools, accessible through a dedicated integrations directory.
• Vulnerability Database: A publicly accessible database of cloud-related vulnerabilities, useful for research and proactive risk management.

Use Cases

• Enterprise security teams: Large organizations running workloads across multiple cloud providers use Wiz to consolidate visibility and manage risk from a single platform rather than juggling separate tools per cloud.
• DevSecOps teams: Development and security teams working together use Wiz Code to catch vulnerabilities earlier in the software development lifecycle, reducing the cost and effort of fixing issues post-deployment.
• Incident response teams: Security operations teams use Wiz Defend to detect and respond to active threats in cloud runtime environments, supported by contextual data from the security graph.
• Organizations adopting AI infrastructure: Teams building or running AI workloads use Wiz's cloud and AI security capabilities to maintain visibility and control over an expanding attack surface.
