In today’s fast-moving cloud environments, maintaining a strong cloud security posture management strategy is essential to stay ahead of risks and vulnerabilities. Security, DevOps, and development teams need a unified approach that scales with cloud-native architectures. That’s where Wiz comes in as a modern solution for comprehensive cloud protection.

Understanding cloud security posture management

Cloud security posture management (CSPM) is the continuous process of detecting misconfigurations, compliance violations, and security gaps across all your cloud resources. By automating configuration checks, risk prioritization, and policy enforcement, CSPM helps prevent data breaches and unauthorized access in complex multi-cloud setups.

Why traditional approaches fall short

Many legacy tools rely on agent-based scanning or siloed dashboards that don’t provide full visibility. Teams struggle with alert fatigue, scattered findings, and slow remediation workflows. Without a unified platform, vulnerabilities slip through the cracks and compliance auditors raise red flags.

How Wiz transforms cloud security posture management

Wiz delivers a complete, agentless CSPM solution that covers every layer of your cloud stack. By connecting directly to cloud provider APIs, Wiz discovers resources, scans for misconfigurations, and builds a contextual risk map called the Security Graph. This approach ensures you can:

• Detect and prioritize critical exposures before they’re exploited
• Automate compliance checks against standards like CIS, PCI, and GDPR
• Break down siloes between security, DevOps, and engineering teams

With Wiz, you don’t need to install agents or rely on manual processes. The platform continuously monitors your cloud environments, providing real-time insights and actionable remediation steps.

Core Capabilities of Wiz

Wiz Cloud: Agentless Visibility & Risk Prioritization

Gain unified visibility across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Kubernetes without deploying agents. Wiz Cloud automatically scans every resource layer to identify misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and exposed secrets.

• Continuous asset discovery via cloud APIs
• Automated compliance framework assessments
• Risk-based prioritization to focus on what matters most

Wiz Code: Secure Cloud Development

Integrate security early in the SDLC with static and dynamic code analysis. Wiz Code uncovers vulnerabilities in IaC templates, container images, and CI/CD pipelines before deployment.

• Pre-commit and pull-request scanning for Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, and more
• CI/CD integration with GitHub Actions, GitLab, Jenkins, and CircleCI
• Shift-left reporting and automated pull-request comments

Wiz Defend: Runtime Protection & Threat Detection

Protect workloads in real time with cloud-native runtime security. Wiz Defend detects suspicious activity, suspicious API usage, and lateral movement across environments.

• Threat detection with behavior analytics
• Automated containment and response actions
• Audit trails and forensic evidence capture

Wiz Integration (WIN) Platform

Extend and automate workflows across your existing security ecosystem. The WIN platform enables bi-directional sharing of findings with SIEMs, ticketing systems, and SOAR tools.

• Pre-built connectors for ServiceNow, Splunk, Slack, and more
• REST APIs for custom integrations
• Webhooks for real-time alerting and automation
