What is Wiz?

Wiz is a cloud security platform that provides agentless, full-stack visibility across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes environments. Wiz connects via cloud APIs to scan the entire cloud estate in minutes, identifying critical risk combinations across misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, exposed secrets, overly permissive identities, and sensitive data exposure. Its Security Graph correlates risks across layers to surface the toxic combinations that actually matter, enabling security teams to prioritize remediation of the attack paths most likely to be exploited. Google completed its acquisition of Wiz on 11 March 2026 and Wiz now operates as part of Google Cloud, keeping its own brand and support for AWS, Azure, Oracle Cloud and Google Cloud.

Best for: Agentless cloud security platform with full-stack visibility and risk prioritization across multi-cloud environments

Pros

  • Agentless deployment scans entire cloud estate in minutes
  • Security Graph surfaces toxic risk combinations that actually matter
  • Unified platform covers CSPM, CWPP, CIEM, DSPM, and IaC scanning
  • Intuitive UI with strong visualization of attack paths
  • Rapid time-to-value with API-based cloud connector setup

Things to check

  • Premium enterprise pricing puts it out of reach for smaller organizations
  • Real-time runtime protection is delivered by the separate Wiz Defend and Wiz Sensor modules rather than the agentless core
  • Limited on-premises and hybrid cloud coverage
  • Deep customization and policy authoring can require professional services
  • Vendor lock-in risk given proprietary platform architecture
