Wiz is a Tel Aviv based, cloud risk visibility solution for enterprise security. It provides a 360° view of security risks across clouds, containers and workloads.
Cisco Cloudlock is a good fit for my organization consisting of 150 end users. While we have a small office product that can expand to cover any size organization, I would assume the overhead to monitor would increase. While my organization's business is in real estate, I would highly recommend this for all businesses that handle sensitive and private data. Being able to monitor our cloud infrastructure has allowed our security team to be more flexible in allowing approved users access as well.
Wiz has been a game-changer for our cloud security operations, making it much easier to identify and resolve risks efficiently. The way issues are surfaced with clear descriptions and context allows our security and SecOps teams to collaborate seamlessly with the SRE team, ensuring that security concerns are addressed quickly and effectively without unnecessary friction.
Installation is very straightforward, up and running within a day with real insights. Integration with multiple tenants or platforms gives a consolidated view of the environent.
The dasboards caipabilities are great
Wiz collects data on multiple facets - IAM, vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, API security and more. You can view your data in different ways, so you can focus on the areas that are most important to you. For example, you can view your data by account, by risk type, or by severity and of course look at individual facets or multiple.
We’re still in the early stages of adopting Wiz, so we haven’t encountered any major gaps or pain points yet. So far, the platform has been intuitive and effective, and we’re continuing to explore its full capabilities as we integrate it further into our cloud security workflow. I will have to report back on this once we have fully embedded!
Wiz is actually a bit more complicated than I had anticipated, while its not over complicated, it does have a significant amount of features that can be overwhelming. It could be helpful to have reoccurring refreshers for those who don't use it often or provide some type of generate ai search to help find what area I need to look in.
They are very quick to respond and go the extra mile to help address our issues. That said, we've only needed them at the early stages of implementation for support help and occasionally when we want to do a full re-scan of our site. They are very flexible in working with us on the timing of such scans.
Amazon Macie is limited to an AWS environment and fulfills some of the same functions that CloudLock does in SaaS products. Both are very valuable tools, so the decision is not really which to use, but whether to use both for their respective environments. In general I feel CloudLock is a more powerful tool because it connects to Microsoft 365, which is more business critical for our organization, but that really is a personal call.
Tenable.io and Qualys are good just for vulnerability management. Wiz has very good capability to show all issues on single console and also it has provision to show them in different dashboards in different category. It shows cloud configuration gap, AWS cis benchmark gap and vulnerability management along with good reporting service.
Wiz has saved us a lot of money and headaches. It finds problems we didn't even know we had, like weak passwords and open ports. This helps us fix things before hackers can find them. It's like having a team of security experts working 24/7.
Plus, Wiz can fix some problems itself, saving us time and money. It's a great investment for our business.
Wiz has made our cloud much safer. It helps us find and fix problems quickly, which means we can focus on our core business. It's like having an extra layer of protection for our data and systems.
