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.

Accelerates decision making and reduces alert fatigue with smart event consolidation

I believe they are on the right path. However, Wiz has a unique way of identifying issues. As part of its growth and maturity, I'm noticing that it is taking an approach where it not only detects problems but also provides solutions to fix them. This expansion into a more comprehensive ecosystem allows it to become a 360-degree product. Instead of just continuously pointing out findings and detections, it starts to integrate with existing solutions, reducing the cycle of repeated issues. We can learn from these mistakes, and ideally, they will only occur once, allowing us to address them effectively. I appreciate the continued growth in this partnership, as it aims to reduce the number of findings over time by tackling the root of the problem. One significant area for improvement would be increasing automation. While they excel at identifying issues, we need assistance in minimizing the human hours required for tasks. Ideally, the process would become more automated, allowing us to quickly respond with steps such as: we found an issue, reached out, and fixed it immediately. In cybersecurity, if it takes several hours to address a concern and a human attacker is present, that delay can lead to severe consequences. We need more immediate measures in our response strategies.

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."

"The first thing that stood out was the ease of installation and the quick value we got out of the solution."

"Our most important features are those around entitlement, external exposure, vulnerabilities, and container security."

"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."

"A valuable feature is that Wiz helps in identifying vulnerabilities."

"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."

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

"The solution is very user-friendly."

"The tool is very powerful in nature."

More Wiz pros

Cons

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

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

"Not having an on-prem version can be an obstacle for customers who have a large workload in an on-prem environment."

"The only small pain point has been around some of the logging integrations. Some of the complexities of the script integrations aren't supported with some of the more automated infrastructure components. So, it's not as universal. For example, they have great support for cloud formation and other services, but if you're using another type of management utility or governance language for your infrastructure-as-code automation components, it becomes a little bit trickier to navigate that."

"The APIs are currently quite limited and not very mature, which makes integration with Splunk difficult."

"They could improve the product's visibility in the internal network topology."

"One significant area for improvement would be increasing automation. While they excel at identifying issues, we need assistance in minimizing the human hours required for tasks."

"It would be better if, when you get an alert type, you are able to view the regex or alert logic without having to dig through all the different options; it is difficult to find where the alert logic is because you have to go to the investigations and then actually find and search for the individual alert."

"We would like to see improvements to executive-level reporting and data reporting in general, which we understand is being rolled out to the platform."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

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

"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."

"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."

"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 is fair and comparable to their competitors. The cost seems to be going up, which is a concern. There are potential savings from consolidating tools, but we're uncertain how Wiz's pricing will change over time."

"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."
