Wiz is really very much needed for cloud security.

We currently use Wiz primarily as a Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) tool to secure our cloud environments. We currently have the majority of our cloud infrastructure in the GCP environment, but also have some other resources in Azure and AWS. The primary reason for using Wiz is for our Platsec and SOC teams to monitor the threats and risks. Based on that, they reach out to the application teams for remediating those vulnerabilities and set up policies to alert them of any critical vulnerabilities. I believe without Wiz, our organization would be blind to some of the very crucial vulnerabilities, as we have thousands of projects on our cloud environment, which makes it impossible to track without Wiz.

The feature of agentless scanning workloads is the core feature of Wiz. Before Wiz, we had to deploy agents to all our cloud clusters, which made it very challenging to deploy, manage, and troubleshoot (in case of any issues) the deployed agents. We had lots of downtime. But the feature of agentless scanning brought our experience to the next level and made our lives easier.

Security graphs are critical for our organization, as it is large and has numerous teams managing various products. It can be challenging to connect the dots at times. However, having a security graph enables quick and accurate detection, along with a proper understanding of the attack surface and remediation.
