About Wiz

Wiz sells a cloud and AI security platform that connects code, cloud, and runtime into a single security graph. Wiz says the graph provides the end-to-end context required to automate risk reduction and threat response. Wiz says traditional tools provide siloed views, leaving critical AI risks unseen.^[3][11][15]

Wiz AI-APP is described as the platform to secure AI applications from code to runtime. The Wiz AI-Application Protection Platform provides end-to-end visibility and protection for cloud and AI systems across development, infrastructure, data, and runtime. Wiz AI-APP provides visibility and protection across infrastructure, models, data, and applications.^[3]

The Wiz Security Graph analyzes the relationships between technologies running in a cloud environment. Wiz connects in minutes via API and achieves full coverage across cloud and AI resources across PaaS, virtual machines, containers, serverless functions, agents, models, repositories, and pipelines. Wiz Cloud correlates risk on the Wiz Security Graph, validates real exposure, and drives prioritized remediation. Wiz Cloud connects within minutes using API connectors to scan and take inventory of a cloud and AI environment. Wiz Cloud is aimed at eliminating critical risk across cloud, AI, SaaS, and on-prem.^[3][12]

Runtime protection from the Wiz Sensor stops threats and provides deep, real-time threat detection with context for better prioritization. Wiz Sensor runtime protection is combined with agentless coverage. Wiz uses the Wiz eBPF Runtime Sensor, combined with analysis of cloud and SaaS logs and application and code context. Wiz describes runtime protection that can stop AI-native threats including prompt injection, rogue agents, and malicious AI behavior at runtime. Wiz says it can continuously discover AI models, agents, MCP servers, and services across cloud and SaaS.^[3][11][13]

Wiz Code connects code, cloud, runtime, and adversarial validation to identify exploitable attack paths. Wiz Code finds complex business logic flaws and syntax based errors in first party code. Wiz Code finds and fixes hardcoded secrets in code, IaC templates, and container images. Wiz Code detects and eliminates malware in a codebase before it reaches CI runners and cloud environments. Wiz Code scans IaC for misconfigurations and validates against 1,000+ rules for Terraform, CloudFormation, Azure Resource Manager, Kubernetes, Docker, and more. Wiz Code aggregates and correlates findings from built-in and third-party scanners, SAST, SCA, DAST, and more. Wiz meets developers in the pull requests, IDEs, and pipelines they already use.^[15][16][25]

Wiz offers Mika, which brings the intelligence of the Wiz Graph and specialized agents into daily tools. The Wiz MCP Server lets teams plug the Security Graph directly into custom agents, internal knowledge bases, and developer IDEs. Wiz describes one agent that continuously simulates real attack paths across a cloud and AI stack. Wiz describes another agent that autonomously investigates alerts across cloud and code. Wiz lets teams direct Mika and specialized agents with a visual, no-code canvas. Wiz correlates running cloud resources back to the code, pipeline, and developer that created and built it. Wiz can generate a 1-click fix in code with a pull request in a version control system. Wiz Integration (WIN) platform enables bi-directional sharing of security findings across the cloud security ecosystem.^{[3][11][25][26]}

Wiz automatically assesses compliance posture against more than 100 industry compliance frameworks or custom frameworks. Wiz analyzes cloud entitlements and auto-generates least privilege policies across a cloud. Wiz offers SBOM capabilities that give agentless visibility into packages, open-source libraries, and their versions.^{[12][28][30][31]}

Wiz states that its compliance coverage names AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, Alibaba Cloud, VMware vSphere, Kubernetes, and Red Hat Openshift. Wiz reports ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, and ISO 27701 recertification. Wiz has SOC 2 Type II plus HIPAA and SOC 3 reports. Wiz published a PCI DSS v4.0.1 Attestation of Compliance.^{[3][11][13][15][16][17][18][25][27][28][29][32]}
