About Wiz

Wiz is an agentless cloud security platform that provides full-stack visibility across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes. It uses a graph-based approach to correlate risks across misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, network exposure, and identities, enabling security teams to prioritize the most critical attack paths. Wiz scans cloud workloads without deploying agents, reducing overhead while delivering comprehensive cloud security posture management (CSPM), cloud workload protection (CWPP), and infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM).
