Improves confidential data protection but needs improved efficiency in encryption algorithms

I have private data and want to prevent others, including Microsoft, from seeing it, I have control. By setting up a landing zone for sovereignty, the data is stored in MCFS landing zones. This data is encrypted in use, at rest, and in transit. While the data is in use, no third-party user or Microsoft can view, capture, or read it. These landing zones are for specific customers. When I enter an MCFS zone, my data remains strictly confidential, and unauthorized users cannot see it. This is the basic principle. Confidential computing is used for data in use. There are three types of data: in-use, in-transit, and at-rest data. At rest means the stored data is encrypted. In-use data means when the data is in memory, it remains confidential to other users, cloud users, or hackers, preventing data leakage or hacking. None can capture my data. Confidential computing involves data in use. This serves as a reference architecture, not just a unique service. Compliance and governance are core concepts of sovereignty. Sovereignty combines compliance rules with local compliance regulations. Each country can develop its compliance rules and integrate them into Azure. Globally, countries have developed their compliance rules and sovereignty compliance packs for Azure. For example, GDPR is implemented in some countries. In Turkey, there is a regulation named Kaveh Kaka. In Italy, there are specific data classification and compliance rules. They package their computing and compliance rules for Azure, allowing access to Italian compliance rules in Azure. If I implement Microsoft Cloud for Sovereignty landing zones, I see specialized and customized computing packages.

Useful for security assessment and maintaining correct security posture

The tool keeps improving on a weekly basis. Wiz enters into a lot of partnerships with other technologies. I don't have any idea about the improvements needed in the tool at the moment. For me, Wiz is a very complete product, but it is not the perfect one. Other technologies are better for our customers' specific use cases. A possible way to grow the tool is by introducing new functionality or features. In the future, the tool can introduce an on-prem infrastructure or platform. Not having an on-prem version can be an obstacle for customers who have a large workload in an on-prem environment. The onboarding can be done in five minutes or five to ten minutes. Then, there is the configuration, and it depends on the type of the use case of the customer. There is a customer that has simple use cases for whom the onboarding can be done in four to eight hours a day. If there are some customers with a lot of use cases and a lot of different cloud providers, more time is needed. In general, we don't need more than five days to deploy the tool, even in the case of a very complex architecture and hybrid cloud environment. To deploy the tool, we need to have access to the account of the customer, and Wiz is a stuff that we need to make with the customer. We do the onboarding together. The customer creates the correct authorization in the cloud platform and gives us the key to connect to the platform, and then the platform connector starts and begins to collect information.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"When I enter an MCFS zone, my data remains strictly confidential, and unauthorized users cannot see it."

"The benefit of Microsoft Cloud for sovereignty is boundless."

"I rate Wiz's customer service as ten out of ten."

"Out of all the features, the one item that has been most valuable is the fact that Wiz puts into context all the pieces that create an issue, and applies a particular risk evaluation that helps us prioritize when we need to address a misconfiguration, vulnerability, or any issue that would put our environment into risk."

"The CSPM module has been the most effective. It was easy to deploy and covered all our accounts through APIs, requiring no agents. Wiz provides instant visibility into high-level risks that we need to address."

"The product's most valuable feature combines different contexts and attributes to produce highly confident alerts."

"Wiz offers greater visibility and more in-depth findings in terms of configuration, misconfiguration, and vulnerabilities."

"The vulnerability management modules and the discovery and inventory are the most valuable features. Before using Wiz, it was a very manual process for both. After implementing it, we're able to get all of the analytics into a single platform that gives us visibility across all the systems in our cloud. We're able to correspond and understand what the vulnerability landscape looks like a lot faster."

"The tool's most valuable feature is its attack path analysis."

"The automation roles are essential because we ultimately want to do less work and automate more. The dashboards are easy to read and visually pleasing. You can understand things quickly, which makes it easy for our other teams. The network and infrastructure teams don't know as much about security as we do, so it helps to have a tool that's accessible and nice to look at."

More Wiz pros

Cons

"Scientists are still working to improve the efficiency and latency of data in use algorithms."

"There is an improvement area for data in use. It is still a research subject globally."

"The only thing that needs to be improved is the number of scans per day."

"The remediation workflow within the Wiz could be improved."

"In Wiz, if there is one vulnerability that occurs multiple times, it is listed only once. However, even if it is a single vulnerability in the same category, it repeats multiple times. This feature can be time-consuming as it requires continuous scrolling."

"One significant issue is that the searches are case-sensitive, so finding a misconfigured resource can become very challenging."

"The reporting isn't that great. They have executive summaries, but it's only a compliance report that maps all current issues to specific controls. Whether you look at one subscription or project, regardless of the size, you will get a multipage report on how the issues in that account map to that control. Our CSO isn't going to read through that. He won't filter that out or show that to his leadership and say, "Here's what we're doing." It isn't a helpful report. They're working on it, but it's a poor executive summary."

"We noticed some capabilities that were lacking, specifically ignoring some false-positive Issue findings. The good news - with the latest update, this has been resolved."

"Wiz's reporting capabilities could be refined a bit. They are making headway on that, but more executive-style dashboards would be nice. They just implemented a community aspect where you can share documents and feedback. This was something users had been requesting for a while. They are listening to customer feedback and making changes."

"In Brazil, the cost is a significant issue due to the currency exchange rate."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The pricing is fair. Some of the more advanced features and functionalities and how the tiers are split can be somewhat confusing."

"Wiz is a moderately priced solution, where it is neither cheap nor costly."

"Based on the features and capabilities, the product pricing seems reasonable."

"The pricing seems pretty simple. We don't have to do a lot of calculations to figure out what the components are. They do it by enabling specific features, either basics or advanced, which makes it easy to select."

"Regarding pricing, it’s more than $100k because we have a very big infrastructure. Our environment supports around three thousand people, and we offer business-to-client financial services to around one million clients, so we rely heavily on Wiz."

"The cost of the other solutions is comparable to Wiz."

"If one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the tool's price as a five out of ten."

"I wish the pricing was more transparent."
