About Wiz
Wiz sells a cloud and AI security platform. It connects code, cloud and runtime into one security graph. This gives teams the context to find and fix exploitable risks at their source. The platform also helps stop attacks in real time. It is used by more than 65 percent of Fortune 100 companies. Customers range from startups to large enterprises. The platform works by linking code, cloud, identities, network and runtime. It models lateral movement, privilege escalation and data access chains. It then identifies the right place for a fix and assigns the right owner. It can generate code and infrastructure fixes directly to the code owner. Wiz also offers runtime protection with its eBPF sensor. This detects and blocks exploitation attempts and lateral movement. The company also provides AI security for models, agents and services.
