Vendor Profile

Wiz

Wiz is a leading cloud security platform that provides agentless, full-stack visibility across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes environments. Wiz connects via cloud APIs to scan the entire cloud estate in minutes, identifying critical risk combinations across misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, exposed secrets, overly permissive identities, and sensitive data exposure. Its Security Graph correlates risks across layers to surface the toxic combinations that actually matter, enabling security teams to prioritize remediation of the attack paths most likely to be exploited. Wiz has experienced rapid growth since its founding.
