Wiz is the industry’s first AI Application Protection Platform (AI-APP), empowering organizations to securely protect everything they build and run at machine speed. Moving beyond traditional cloud security management, Wiz unifies Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), Cloud Workload Protection (CWPP), and Attack Surface Management (ASM) into a single, cohesive platform. It provides 100% agentless visibility across multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, Alibaba Cloud, and more) and Kubernetes, instantly discovering everything from traditional virtual machines to dynamic AI agents, Large Language Models (LLMs), and Model Context Protocols (MCPs). To help organizations stay resilient in the AI threat landscape, Wiz features an agentic security operating model with specialized AI Agents (Red, Blue, and Green) that autonomously investigate threats, validate exploitability, and remediate risks paired with Wiz Workflows to automate and customize response as fast as risk is discovered, directly in the tools teams work in. Users adopt Wiz to eliminate toxic combinations of risk, secure AI pipelines, automate compliance, and achieve zero critical vulnerabilities.
What are the key features of Wiz?
-
AI-Enriched Security Graph: Models relationships across code, cloud infrastructure, identities, data, and AI components to pinpoint "toxic combinations" of risk and actual attack paths.
-
Wiz AI Agents & Workflows: Features the Red Agent (an autonomous AI pentester that validates complex, exploitable risks), Blue Agent (an automated threat investigator for runtime alerts), and Green Agent (a resolution engine that identifies the safest, fastest remediation paths back to the root cause in code). Wiz Workflows orchestrates these agents and the remediation lifecycle across the platform, fully customizable to each organization’s processes and integrated with the tools teams already use. Consolidated Cloud & AI Posture Management: Unifies CSPM with AI-SPM (AI Security Posture Management) and DSPM, securing everything from traditional cloud assets to AI models and sensitive training data with a single scanning engine.
-
Advanced Agentless Deployment: Deploys in minutes via API to provide complete full-stack visibility without disrupting business operations, expanding to instantly discover hidden AI tools, shadow APIs, and "vibe-coded" applications.
-
Wiz Code & Wiz Defend: Extends protection from code to runtime, offering context-aware AI-SAST (in preview) for deep code analysis, zero-config code-to-cloud mapping, and real-time threat detection across cloud workloads and Kubernetes.
What benefits should users expect?
-
Machine-Speed Defense: Goes beyond "time efficiency" by using AI to autonomously triage alerts, automatically trace risks to the exact code owner, and provide 1-click in-code fixes, keeping pace with rapid AI-driven development.
-
Definitive Exploitability & Enhanced Security: Instead of overwhelming teams with noisy, theoretical alerts, Wiz safely simulates multi-step attacks from the outside in to definitively validate which vulnerabilities actually represent critical business risk and blast radius.
-
Automated Compliance & Governance: Streamlines compliance processes across over 100 built-in frameworks, mapping regulatory requirements directly to cloud and data security postures.
-
Democratized Security & Cost-Effectiveness: Reduces Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by allowing organizations to retire siloed legacy tools. With role-based access and over 240 integrations, Wiz delivers prescriptive remediation guidance directly to developers in the tools they already work in - giving them the context to independently fix issues before they’re ever committed. Companies in industries with complex architectures, such as finance, healthcare, and retail, leverage Wiz for its comprehensive multi-cloud and Kubernetes support to manage risks and compliance efficiently. Furthermore, as organizations of all sizes rapidly adopt Generative AI, they rely on Wiz to securely implement AI agents, protect sensitive customer data from exposure, and enforce preventative security guardrails directly within the AI software development lifecycle.
