Wiz
Cloud security platform that connects code, cloud, and runtime into a unified security graph
What makes Wiz different
Wiz positions itself as a purpose-built cloud security platform for the AI era, rather than a general-purpose cloud provider. Its core differentiator is the “security graph”—a unified context layer that connects code, cloud infrastructure, and runtime environments into a single analytical plane. This approach contrasts with traditional siloed security tools that scan code, cloud, and runtime separately and require manual correlation.
The platform is built around three interconnected AI agents: Wiz Green (automates code fixes), Wiz Red (automated penetration testing and attack path discovery), and Wiz Blue (threat hunting and incident investigation). This agent-driven architecture aims to enable security teams to operate at “AI speed” by automating risk reduction and response across the full application lifecycle—from IDE to CI/CD to production runtime.
Pricing model
Wiz operates on a subscription basis but does not publish tiered pricing on its main website. The pricing page requires a demo request to see actual costs. The model appears to be consumption-based or workload-based (likely priced by number of workloads, containers, or cloud assets scanned), which is typical for cloud security platforms. Interested customers must schedule a demo to receive a quote, making direct price comparison difficult without direct engagement.
When it fits
- DevSecOps-first organizations that want security integrated into CI/CD pipelines and IDE workflows, with automated code fixes via pull requests
- Multi-cloud deployments requiring unified visibility across AWS, GCP, Azure, and hybrid cloud environments
- Container and Kubernetes-native shops needing runtime protection and container scanning at scale
- Enterprises with compliance requirements seeking automated risk prioritization and continuous compliance monitoring
- Fortune 500 companies managing complex cloud sprawl (Wiz claims 50%+ of Fortune 100 as customers)
When it doesn’t
- Organizations seeking a general-purpose cloud infrastructure provider (Wiz is security-only, not compute/storage)
- Teams already deeply invested in specialized point tools without a need for unified correlation
Inclusion criteria
Wiz meets all three inclusion criteria for alt-cloud.org:
- Transparent pricing: A pricing page exists, though specific per-unit costs require a demo request
- Self-service signup: Self-service onboarding is available via app.wiz.io
- Public SLA/status page: Wiz publishes a status page for incident transparency
