Wiz
Cloud security platform connecting vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and identities into a risk graph.
What it does
Wiz is a cloud-native security platform that provides agentless visibility across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud environments - scanning the full cloud stack (VMs, containers, serverless, databases, identities) without installing agents. Its Security Graph connects vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, exposed secrets, and overprivileged identities into a risk visualization that identifies toxic combinations - showing which vulnerabilities are actually exploitable given the environment's specific network exposure and IAM configuration. Wiz AI surfaces the findings that matter most based on real attack paths rather than raw severity scores, dramatically reducing alert fatigue. The platform has grown rapidly to become the leading CNAPP (Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform).
Why AI-ENHANCED
Wiz is an established cloud security platform that has meaningfully integrated AI-powered risk prioritization, attack path analysis, and remediation guidance into a mature CNAPP product.
Best for
Mid-market cloud-native companies use Wiz to get immediate visibility into their cloud security posture - agentless scanning providing comprehensive coverage without the deployment overhead of agent-based tools.
Large enterprises with complex multi-cloud environments use Wiz's Security Graph to understand which of thousands of findings represent genuine risk - AI prioritization cutting through noise to focus remediation on the most critical attack paths.
Limitations
Wiz's rapid growth has come with enterprise pricing — smaller engineering teams and startups often find the cost prohibitive relative to lighter cloud security tools.
Wiz identifies and prioritizes risks clearly but the actual remediation work falls to engineering teams — the platform surfaces what to fix but does not fix it automatically.
Even with AI prioritization, large cloud environments generate many findings — teams without dedicated cloud security resources may struggle to systematically address the backlog.

Wiz does not publish pricing. Contracts based on cloud workload count. Mid-market contracts typically start at $50,000 to $100,000 annually. Enterprise contracts significantly higher.
