What Is It
Founded in 2020, Wiz set out with the simple goal of helping organisations visualise and contextualise their cloud security risk. With a vibrant user interface and fun corporate culture, Wiz quickly differentiated itself in a market traditionally dominated by victims of a personality bypass. Behind the glitz and glamour is a product that cuts right to the core of some of the biggest problems in the ICT world – understanding your true risk position and then building a culture of care and responsibility beyond just the Cyber team in order to help reduce it. It’s for this reason Wiz have found themselves the fastest growing start-up in tech history - recently being valued @ $23 billion by Google’s unicorn eating machine… an offer they politely declined.

Why We Love It
You’ll see us explicitly use the term “pragmatic” when describing our cybersecurity focus – when the pursuit of perfection prevents the good, that just leaves bad. And threat actors love bad. It’s impossible to get everything right, so we like to focus on high value activities that help mitigate your biggest risks quickly. Traditionally, when it came to cloud security, this exercise would require extensive discovery and analysis, a slew of native and 3rd party tools and a reluctant buy-in to costly validation and remediation exercises across multiple parts of the business. Enter Wiz.
Rapid Onboarding: With agentless deployment and support for all the major cloud providers (yes, even OCI) customers can get started with Wiz in a matter of minutes. A fringe benefit to leveraging APIs over agents is that there’s nowhere to hide (intentionally or otherwise) - Cloud Engineering/Infrastructure and Security teams love the single-pane-of-glass and “unknown unknowns” visibility Wiz provides.

Contextualised Results: The most common piece of feedback we receive from customers post-security engagement is “We love the fact that you didn’t overwhelm us with every finding under the sun but rather helped us prioritise what we really needed to look at”. The reality is, triaging findings from traditional security assessment tooling is tricky, not to mention laborious. Wiz has been a revelation, as it does a lot of the heavy lifting for you (and us) - combining findings and relevant data about your cloud resources into “toxic combinations”. If a freshly deployed, completely air-gapped VM has a bunch of CVEs, that’s not as important as a key database containing PII that’s publicly exposed to the internet having a single, well-known CVE… Wiz knows this. And then it lets you know.
