Wiz
Agentless CNAPP that connects code, cloud, and runtime in one graph
What is Wiz?
Wiz is an agentless cloud security platform that builds a unified Security Graph across code, cloud infrastructure, and runtime so teams can trace an exploitable risk from a Kubernetes pod back to the line of code that introduced it. It includes Wiz Code, Wiz Cloud, and Wiz Defend, plus three AI agents (Green for code fixes, Red for attack path discovery, Blue for threat investigation). Over half of the Fortune 100 use it.
Security, compliance, trust, identity, privacy, and risk management platforms for businesses.

Use cases to evaluate
Replacing Prisma Cloud, Lacework, or a stack of point CNAPP tools
Mapping attack paths from internet-exposed assets to crown-jewel data stores
Securing AI workloads, model artifacts, and managed AI services in cloud
Giving developers PR-level fix suggestions tied to runtime risk context
Fit to evaluate
CISOs at Fortune 500 and large enterprises consolidating cloud security vendors
Platform engineering teams running multi-cloud Kubernetes at scale
Security leaders rolling out a code-to-cloud program with shift-left ownership
Regulated industries needing continuous visibility across thousands of cloud accounts
Business fit
Right for you if you run significant workloads on AWS, Azure, or GCP and want one platform to replace separate CSPM, CWPP, CIEM, and container scanning tools. Especially valuable when security and dev teams need shared context on which vulnerabilities are actually reachable in production. Skip if you are a small team on a single cloud account where a native tool like AWS Security Hub is enough. Also skip if your budget cannot absorb enterprise-tier cloud security spend, since Wiz is priced for mid-market and up.
How to evaluate Wiz
Use this category when security reviews, compliance evidence, or access controls are slowing deals or operations.
Confirm the exact workflow
Map Wiz to one concrete workflow first, such as replacing prisma cloud, lacework, or a stack of point cnapp tools. Avoid buying before the owner, trigger, output, and success metric are clear.
Check category fit
Compare evidence collection, access controls, integrations, and audit workflows.
Compare practical alternatives
Shortlist Wiz against Vanta, Drata, Secureframe so the decision is based on fit, effort, and workflow ownership rather than brand recognition alone.
Validate cost and rollout effort
No public pricing. Licensing is modular and scales with workloads, active developers, log ingestion, and runtime sensors; a Wiz Go Bundle is offered for SMBs. All quotes require contacting sales. Also confirm implementation time, support needs, and whether the technical setup matches your team.
