Wiz

Wiz is a cloud security platform that connects to cloud environments agentlessly and surfaces the risks that matter most.

Overview

Wiz secures cloud infrastructure by scanning workloads, data stores, and identities through cloud provider APIs, without installing agents. Its security graph correlates configuration, vulnerabilities, network exposure, and identity permissions to show the attack paths attackers could actually exploit. Cloud-native application protection covers everything from build artifacts to runtime, and remediation guidance is prioritized by real risk. Teams commonly connect a cloud account and see results within hours.

Wiz changed cloud security by removing agents and following relationships instead: which workload is exposed, which holds sensitive data, which role can reach it. The resulting attack paths show security teams what an attacker could actually chain together, turning thousands of findings into a short list of real risks.

Deployment speed is a signature strength, since connections to cloud accounts are read-only API integrations that surface findings within hours. That combination of context and speed explains its rapid enterprise adoption across multi-cloud environments.

Common workflows begin with connecting cloud accounts and reviewing the highest-risk attack paths, then remediating through existing ticketing systems. The platform’s inventory also supports compliance reporting and shadow-IT discovery.

Key Features

• Agentless scanning of VMs, containers, serverless, and data stores
• Security graph linking vulnerabilities to exposure and identity paths
• Cloud security posture management across AWS, Azure, and GCP
• Container and Kubernetes security from build to runtime
• Data security posture for sensitive cloud storage
• Prioritized remediation based on exploitable attack paths

Pricing

Wiz is licensed by annual subscription based on cloud workload usage, quoted through sales. A free tier (Wiz Free Tier) offers limited scanning for evaluation.

Who Is It For

Cloud-first enterprises and security teams drowning in findings who need prioritized, contextual risk across multi-cloud environments.

Workflows begin with connecting cloud accounts and reviewing the highest-risk attack paths, then remediating through existing ticketing systems.

The platform inventory also supports compliance reporting and shadow-IT discovery across multi-cloud estates.

FAQ

Is Wiz free to use?

A limited free tier exists for evaluation; full cloud security coverage requires an enterprise subscription.

Does Wiz offer an API?

Yes, Wiz provides APIs and integrations for exporting findings into SIEM, ticketing, and automation workflows.

How does Wiz compare to alternatives?

Wiz’s agentless graph approach surfaces attack context that point tools like CSPM or vulnerability scanners miss, at enterprise pricing. Security teams value that prioritization reflects real attack paths rather than generic severity scores from scanners.
