Wiz Review

Wiz is one of the most advanced and widely used Cloud Security platforms in the world, designed for companies operating on cloud infrastructures such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle. Its main strength is the ability to provide complete and immediate visibility into configurations, workloads, identities, permissions, containers, Kubernetes, secrets, and vulnerabilities through an agentless technology. This approach removes the complexity of installing agents on every resource, speeding up onboarding and allowing the entire cloud environment to be analyzed within minutes. Wiz can be classified as a CNAPP (Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform), integrating CSPM, CIEM, CWPP, and Data Security features into a single solution.
Wiz is highly appreciated by DevOps, SecOps, and security teams looking for a tool capable of identifying real risks (not just alerts) and prioritizing threats based on context.

WIZ – TUTORIAL

WIZ – FEATURES

• Cloud Visibility agentless: automatically analyzes all cloud resources without installing agents, creating a complete map of configurations, vulnerabilities, permissions, risks, and security posture.
• Advanced CSPM: continuously monitors cloud security posture, identifies misconfigurations, and provides guided and automatable remediation.
• Integrated CWPP: protects workloads, vms, containers, kubernetes, and serverless from vulnerabilities, exposed secrets, malware, and suspicious behavior.
• CIEM (Cloud Identity & Entitlement Management): analyzes roles, privileges, and effective permissions, highlighting excessive access and potential escalations.
• Data Security: identifies sensitive data (pii, phi, financial, secrets) within buckets, databases, and cloud storage, indicating risks and exposures.
• Context-based prioritization: combines vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, network exposures, identities with elevated privileges, and sensitive data to determine the “real risk.”
• CI/CD integration: scans container images, iac (terraform, cloudformation, arm, kubernetes manifests), and development pipelines.
• Automated compliance: provides preconfigured controls for iso 27001, gdpr, pci-dss, soc 2, hipaa, and many other standards.
