Wiz is a leading cloud security platform that provides agentless vulnerability scanning, posture management, and risk detection across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Kubernetes environments. Unlike agent-based security tools, Wiz connects to cloud APIs to scan all workloads, containers, and infrastructure without installing software — providing immediate visibility into cloud security posture. Used by over 45% of the Fortune 100, Wiz's Security Graph correlates vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and exposed data to identify the toxic combinations of risk that constitute real critical issues.
Cloud security platform for visibility and risk reduction.
Best for: Cloud-native companies who need comprehensive cloud security visibility across multi-cloud environments.

The trade-off
Pros and cons
Pros
- Agentless deployment provides full cloud visibility in under 15 minutes without software installation
- Security Graph correlates multiple risk factors to surface truly critical issues — not just raw CVE counts
- Covers entire cloud stack: IaaS, PaaS, containers, serverless, and data stores in one platform
- Wiz Code scans IaC templates and connects code risks to runtime cloud findings for shift-left security
- Fast time-to-value — security teams report meaningful findings within hours of connecting cloud accounts
Cons
- Very expensive — pricing makes it inaccessible for small companies and startups
- Agentless approach means less real-time runtime protection compared to agent-based EDR solutions
- Alert volume can still be high without proper policy tuning for the organization's context
- Highly cloud-focused — less useful for on-premises infrastructure security monitoring
