Wiz
Wiz helps enterprise security teams visualize and fix cloud security risks fast.
Wiz is a cloud-native security platform that provides real-time visibility across multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, Kubernetes) using agentless APIs and graph-based analysis. It identifies exploitable attack paths and prioritizes risk based on business impact, enabling security teams to fix issues before they reach production. The platform serves enterprise security teams and has won over 40% of Fortune 100 companies with its unified "single pane of glass" approach to cloud security.
Problem solved
Security teams lack unified visibility into cloud environments and struggle to identify exploitable attack paths across complex cloud architectures with billions of relationships.
Target customer
Enterprise security and cloud operations teams at Fortune 500 and mid-market companies running workloads across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes.

Competitors
Palo Alto Networks (Prisma Cloud)
Broader security platform with network and endpoint capabilities; Wiz is cloud-native focused with graph-based analysis and agentless visibility.
CrowdStrike (Cloud Security)
Endpoint-centric with cloud add-ons; Wiz is purpose-built for cloud-native environments with deeper contextual risk prioritization.
Aqua Security
Container and supply chain focused; Wiz provides broader cloud infrastructure visibility with business impact prioritization.
Lacework
Focuses on cloud workload runtime security; Wiz provides comprehensive cloud architecture and permission mapping.
Why this matters: Wiz achieved a $12B valuation and $1.9B total funding in just 4 years, serving 40%+ of Fortune 100 companies. Founded by the team behind Adallom (acquired by Microsoft), the company identified a critical gap in unified cloud security visibility and solved it with graph-based risk analysis, making it one of the fastest-growing enterprise security startups.
Best for: Large enterprises and mid-market companies needing unified visibility across multi-cloud environments to identify and prioritize exploitable security risks before they become breaches.
Use cases
Cloud Security Posture Management at Scale
Enterprise security teams use Wiz to map their entire multi-cloud environment (AWS, Azure, GCP) and identify misconfigurations, overpermissioned identities, and exposed data flows in hours without agents. The Security Graph automatically discovers relationships between 100+ cloud services and prioritizes the riskiest attack paths by business impact.
Incident Response and Vulnerability Correlation
When critical vulnerabilities like Log4j are disclosed, security teams query Wiz's Security Graph to immediately identify which workloads are affected, how they're exposed, and what data they can access. This reduces investigation time by 40% vs. manual analysis and enables rapid remediation before exploitation.
Cloud Migration Security Validation
During cloud infrastructure migrations, Wiz provides real-time risk assessment of new workloads and configurations, ensuring security standards are met before applications reach production. Teams can identify permission creep, lateral movement risks, and data exposure pathways that traditional CASB or WAF solutions miss.
DevSecOps Integration and Runtime Risk Assessment
Development and security teams use Wiz to continuously assess runtime behavior, permission models, and data flows of containerized and Kubernetes workloads, enabling security-left practices without slowing deployment velocity.
Alternatives
Palo Alto Networks Prisma Cloud
Choose if you need a unified platform covering network, endpoint, and cloud security; Wiz is more specialized for cloud-native risk.
Lacework
Choose if runtime workload behavior and anomaly detection are your primary focus; Wiz excels at infrastructure and permission mapping.
Aqua Security
Choose if container and supply chain security are primary concerns; Wiz provides broader cloud infrastructure visibility.
