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.

Improved our security posture thanks to comprehensive visibility
I have contacted Wiz technical support frequently. The support is excellent. We contact via an in-application portal. We can see the support cases we personally open, and also the cases that other people have opened from our company. I appreciate that feature. Generally, support gets back to us within a few days with a good answer. There was one fellow in particular who has been knocking it out of the park. He is a great support person to deal with. We are happy with the support experience. If I were to put Wiz support on a scale from one to ten, I would give them a ten.

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 security baseline and vulnerability assessments is the valuable feature."
"Wiz distinguished itself immediately in the PoC, surfacing important issues that were entirely missed by both the products we were already using and other CNAPP's that we tested."
"Wiz is a very powerful product technologically."
"What I appreciate most about Wiz is that the compliance and CSPM aspects of this cloud-native application protection offering are genuinely better than other products available in the market."
"With Wiz, we get timely alerts for leaked data or any vulnerabilities already existing in our environment."
"Wiz is one of the finest tools that I have used so far, and it gives visibility to all the services based resources, which other tools do not give."
"The product supports out-of-the-box reporting with context about the asset and allows us to perform complex custom queries on UI."
"One feature I particularly appreciate about Wiz is that, similar to other cloud-native security tools like Microsoft's Defender for Cloud, it allows you to define policies as code and deploy them through a version control system with a continuous deployment pipeline."
 

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."
"We have an integration with ServiceNow, but Wiz's ServiceNow integration is not the best."
"An area that Wiz can still continue to improve is FinOps."
"Wiz can be improved with better maturity in code scanning and developer workflows, expanding secret detection to full lifecycle management, stronger IAM across multi-account environments, more transparent attack path scoring and risk modeling, improved AI and ML security scanning, reduced false positives in runtime threat detection, more fine-grained access control and tenant separation, and better integration for serverless workloads."
"The only thing that needs to be improved is the number of scans per day."
"We're looking at some of the data compliance stuff that they've got Jon offer. I know they're looking at container security, which we gonna be looking at next."
"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."
"As for stability, we have seen some issues where our results changed radically from one day to the next, but we had not made radical changes, so we opened a case with support."
"Given the level of visibility into all the cloud environments Wiz provides, it would be nice if they could integrate some kind of mechanism to better manage tenants on multiple platforms. For example, let's say that some servers don't have an application they need, such as an antivirus. Wiz could include an API or something to push those applications out to the servers. It would be great if you could remedy these issues directly from the Wiz platform."
 

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."
"Based on the features and capabilities, the product pricing seems reasonable."
"I wish the pricing was more transparent."
"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 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."
"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 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."
