Wiz Protect Everything You Build and Run in the Cloud

Cloud adoption brings immense benefits but also introduces complex security challenges.
Dynamic environments, decentralized development, and evolving threats demand a modern security approach.

Traditional tools often create visibility gaps and overwhelming alert fatigue. Wiz, the industry-leading Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP), provides the necessary clarity and context to secure everything you build and run in the cloud.

Rheintec's Managed Service helps you expertly operationalize this powerful platform, ensuring you maximize Wiz's capabilities for robust cloud security and compliance, overcoming potential resource or skill gaps.

Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM)

Continuously monitors cloud environments for misconfigurations and compliance violations.

Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP)

Protects workloads in real-time, identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities and threats.

Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM)

Manages and optimizes permissions and roles to prevent excessive access and privilege escalation.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Security

Secures infrastructure configurations by scanning IaC templates for potential vulnerabilities.

Core Philosophy: Unified Visibility & Context

Wiz operates on the principle that effective cloud security requires seeing the complete picture. It connects to your entire cloud estate (AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, Kubernetes, etc.) via APIs, achieving broad visibility without deploying cumbersome agents. This agentless approach provides deep insights within minutes, covering IaaS and PaaS resources, including VMs, containers, serverless functions, and data stores, without impacting performance or requiring ongoing maintenance.

The Engine: Wiz Security Graph

At the heart of Wiz is the Security Graph – a powerful contextual engine. It doesn't just inventory assets; it maps the intricate relationships between all cloud resources: workloads, identities, network configurations, vulnerabilities, secrets, data, and code. By analyzing these connections, the Security Graph identifies "toxic combinations" – the confluence of seemingly minor issues that create genuine, exploitable attack paths. This moves security beyond isolated alerts (like high CVSS scores on non-exposed assets) to understanding actual risk based on context. The intuitive graph visualization makes even complex risks understandable across teams.

Key Platform Capabilities & Benefits:

Contextual Risk Prioritization (Security Graph)

Capability: Correlates findings across vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, network exposure, identities, secrets, and data to identify critical attack paths and toxic combinations. Prioritizes based on actual exploitability and potential impact.
Benefit: Dramatically reduces alert fatigue by focusing teams on the ~5% of issues that truly pose a critical risk. Ensures security efforts are directed effectively, addressing a major pain point of traditional tools.

Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM / KSPM / DSPM)

Capability: Continuously monitors for misconfigurations against thousands of rules and over 150 compliance frameworks (CIS, NIST, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, DORA, etc.). Includes specialized Kubernetes (KSPM) and Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) to find risks in container orchestration and locate sensitive data.
Benefit: Proactively hardens the cloud environment, reduces the attack surface, streamlines compliance audits, and ensures consistent security standards.

Cloud Workload Protection (CWPP)

Capability: Agentless scanning of workloads (VMs, containers, serverless) for known vulnerabilities (CVEs), malware, embedded secrets, and insecure configurations. Optional lightweight runtime sensor for deeper threat detection and prevention.
Benefit: Provides comprehensive protection for cloud workloads, combining broad visibility with optional deep runtime analysis to fit different risk needs.

Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM)

Capability: Analyzes complex cloud permissions across AWS IAM, Azure AD, GCP IAM, and Kubernetes RBAC. Identifies excessive permissions, privilege escalation paths, and identity-related risks.
Benefit: Helps enforce least privilege, mitigating a common vector for cloud breaches.

Cloud Detection and Response (CDR)

Capability: Correlates runtime activity, cloud logs, and posture risks identified by the Security Graph to detect active threats. Integrates capabilities from acquisitions like Gem Security for SOC-native investigation experiences.
Benefit: Enables faster detection, investigation, and response to ongoing attacks by leveraging the platform's deep context.

Code Security & Shift-Left (Wiz Code)

Capability: Scans Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), container images, source code repositories, and CI/CD pipelines before deployment. Correlates cloud risks back to the source code and developer, providing feedback directly in developer tools. Offers automated fix suggestions.
Benefit: Embeds security into the SDLC ("shift-left"), preventing vulnerabilities from reaching production, improving DevOps efficiency, and fostering collaboration between development and security.

While Wiz provides an exceptionally powerful and comprehensive platform, realizing its full value requires effective operationalization. Organizations need to:

Consistently monitor the findings across diverse cloud environments.
Accurately interpret the contextual risk identified by the Security Graph.
Integrate findings into existing security and development workflows (ticketing, SIEM, CI/CD).
Manage the platform, ensuring optimal configuration and coverage.
Drive timely remediation based on prioritized risks.
Maintain compliance posture according to relevant frameworks.

Achieving this consistently often requires dedicated resources and specialized expertise that may not be readily available internally.
