Wiz Cloud is a cloud security platform that identifies and remediates risks across cloud infrastructure, applications, and data.

Summary

Wiz Cloud is a commercial CNAPPCNAPPA cloud-native application protection platform that combines checks across cloud configuration, workloads and development. It helps teams connect risks that separate tools might report apart. delivered as a SaaSSaaSSoftware delivered over the internet and run on the provider's infrastructure, so the buyer pays a subscription instead of installing or operating anything locally. platform that maps cloud resources, workloads, and identities into a graph to calculate exposure and surface attack pathsattack pathsA possible sequence of steps an attacker could take to reach a valuable target. It connects weaknesses, permissions and reachable systems rather than treating each finding separately.. It runs agentless where possible, using runtime sensor telemetry, cloud-native API gateways, and IaCIaCInfrastructure as Code: the practice of defining and provisioning compute infrastructure through machine-readable config files rather than manual processes, giving cyber tools repeatable, version-controlled environment setup. scan reconciliation to connect infrastructure-as-code definitions to what is actually deployed and running. It targets cloud security and platform teams responsible for posture management, compliance, and attack surfaceattack surfaceThe exposed systems, interfaces and access points an attacker could try to use. It includes internet-facing services as well as identities, software and other reachable resources. reduction rather than individual developers. It sits in the CNAPP category, combining attack surface management, compliance benchmarking (including DISA STIG), and threat intelligence enrichment from Mandiant and VirusTotal into a single graph-based view rather than separate point tools. Launched in 2020, it ships infrequent but substantial releases, with the most recent 44 days ago.

Wiz Cloud is a cloud security platform that identifies and remediates risks across cloud infrastructure, applications, and data.

How Wiz Cloud helps

Which internet-facing assets outside our known inventory could an attacker find first?

runs subdomain reconnaissance seeded from owned root domains and cross-references cloud-native API gateways, runtime sensor telemetry, and detected API specifications to surface shadow APIs and endpoints nobody registered

Which of our exploitable exposures actually chain into a real attack path?

tests live environments and applications end to end and reports only the exposures it confirmed lead to an exploitable path, rather than every theoretical weakness

Which live cloud resource did this piece of infrastructure-as-code actually create, and is it still configured the way the code says?

links every IaC module to the deployments it produced and reconciles those definitions against runtime state, flagging drift between what was declared and what is running

Are our Amazon Linux and Windows Server hosts meeting DISA STIG requirements right now?

assesses every connected instance continuously against the STIG benchmark with no scan credentials or SCAP content required, giving per-rule pass/fail status rolled up into category scores, filterable by severity category

Has a known threat actor targeted the vendor products we run, and should that change what we investigate first?

enriches findings with Mandiant and VirusTotal intelligence and lists threat actors with a history of targeting specific products, so an alert tied to one of them gets prioritized accordingly

Do our legacy or air-gapped systems that automated discovery can't reach have any exposure we're missing?

accepts manually entered IP addresses, domains, and ranges as custom targets so those systems are folded into the same exposure calculation as everything discovered automatically

Five scores for Wiz Cloud, each built from the releases, notes and API history this site tracks — and, on Researcher and Business, where it stands among every measured tool in its category and how that has moved.

Score cards are part of every paid plan.

See plans →

Each score is 0–100 on a published rubric, derived from data this site already shows. A dimension we cannot measure says so — it is never scored 0 and never enters a rank.

How this is scored
  • Shipping velocity — releases a month over the last 12 months, on a log scale where 16 a month scores 100. Needs 3 releases in the window.
  • Documentation quality — the release-notes rubric published on the analytics page, unchanged.
  • Breaking-change discipline — the share of releases carrying a breaking change (none scores 100, half or more scores 0). Only projects that label breaking changes are measured: a clean record cannot be told from an unlabelled one.
  • Maintenance risk — quiet time measured against the tool's own release cadence (quiet longer than 90 days and three typical gaps scores 0), plus the number of active maintainers and whether contributors are growing, where known. Higher is lower risk.
  • Innovation & surface — new capabilities in the feature ledger this year, API and MCP operations added, and the share of commits that are features: the mean of whichever we hold.
  • Community health (open-source tools only) — each is a direction, not a size: contributors this year against last, the bus factor now against a year ago, and issues closed per issue opened, where steady scores 50, doubled 100 and halved 0; plus the median time to a maintainer's first reply (an hour scores about 100, a month or more 0). A commercial card has no repository and carries none of the four.
  • Documented delivery (commercial tools) — when a vendor's documented new capabilities have slowed against its own baseline, that counts against the overall standing as heavily as two low dimensions. Steady delivery, or too little history to judge, leaves the standing alone; it is never a sixth score.
  • Open-source tools are scored on repository signals; commercial tools on their published changelog. Ranks compare tools within one category and one profile and need at least five measured peers; the overall standing needs three ranked dimensions. Best-in-breed or consolidator is a shape, not a quality, and is never scored.

How we count

Read from 1 of 7 release notes and docs updates we hold for Wiz Cloud. "First seen" is the earliest note that names something; "last" is the latest. Our history may start partway through Wiz Cloud's life, so an old integration can show a recent first-seen date.

Each change counts once: "added 40 checks" is one line, so the numbers measure how often coverage moves, not how big the catalogue is or how well it detects.
