Wiz provides a cloud‑native application protection platform (CNAPP) that unifies configuration compliance, vulnerability management, and continuous cloud detection and response across AWS, Azure, GCP, and AI services. The platform builds a graph of cloud assets, scans IaC and runtime activity, and uses machine‑learning to generate context‑rich alerts and automated remediation, delivering compliance dashboards and API integrations for SOC, DevSecOps, and cloud teams.

Problem
Enterprises adopting multi‑cloud and AI workloads face fragmented security tooling, with separate products for configuration compliance, vulnerability management, and threat detection. This tool sprawl creates visibility gaps, forces constant context switching for SOC analysts, and leaves cloud environments exposed to real‑time attacks that static scans cannot catch.
Solution
Wiz delivers a unified Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) that combines preventive posture management with continuous Cloud Detection and Response (CDR). The platform builds a graph‑based model of all cloud assets, evaluates configurations, IaC templates, container images, and serverless functions, and then monitors runtime activity for anomalous behavior. Integrated machine‑learning analytics correlate alerts with asset context, enabling SOC teams to investigate incidents without involving developers. A single web console provides compliance dashboards, automated remediation workflows, and API‑driven integration with CI/CD pipelines and SIEMs. By covering the full security lifecycle—from design‑time hardening to real‑time threat detection—Wiz reduces tool sprawl and accelerates risk reduction across multi‑cloud and AI environments.
Target Audience
The platform is aimed at security operations (SOC) teams, DevSecOps engineers, and cloud architects in large enterprises and fast‑growing cloud‑native companies that need integrated posture management and real‑time threat detection across multi‑cloud and AI workloads.
Features
- Asset discovery and graph modeling across AWS, Azure, GCP, and major AI platforms, with continuous inventory updates
- Configuration and IaC scanning that validates Terraform, CloudFormation, and Helm charts against industry benchmarks (CIS, NIST, PCI)
- Runtime sensor layer (Wiz Defend) that streams cloud‑native API calls and workload telemetry for behavior‑based anomaly detection
- Machine‑learning threat detection engine that correlates activity anomalies with known attack techniques (MITRE ATT&CK) and generates context‑rich alerts
- Automated remediation actions (policy enforcement, patch deployment, IAM role adjustment) triggered via native cloud APIs or webhook integrations
- Unified compliance reporting and audit‑ready evidence generation for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR
- Open APIs and pre‑built integrations for CI/CD tools, SIEMs, and ticketing systems (Jira, ServiceNow)
- SBOM indexing and searchable vulnerability database that surfaces open‑source component risks across the entire cloud estate
