Wiz

Wiz is a container security and Kubernetes security solution that lets you scan and assess all containers, hosts and clusters in a variety of Kubernetes environments, serverless containers and standalone containers running on virtual machines. It offers visibility into containerized environments so there are no blind spots.

Wiz uses its security graph to analyze and prioritize risks with context, spotting malicious activity in Kubernetes clusters in real time so customers can respond quickly. The platform is designed to let developers and security teams collaborate to move security left in the software development lifecycle to catch problems earlier in the life of a containerized app.

Among its features are:

• Complete Visibility: Scan all containers, hosts and clusters in a variety of Kubernetes environments and standalone containers running on virtual machines.
• In-Depth Risk Assessment: Prioritize container risks using the Security Graph, which combines data from containers, hosts, cloud providers and Kubernetes APIs.
• Shift Left: Collaborate with developers to catch container security problems earlier in the SDLC.
• Graph-Based Risk Correlation and Prioritization: Get visibility across layers, prioritize risks with context and remediate at the source.
• Automatic Kubernetes Security Posture Management (KSPM): Monitor and assess compliance with built-in and custom rules.
• Real-Time Threat Detection and Response: Monitor and detect threats in real-time, with end-to-end attack visibility and cloud-native investigation and response.

Wiz also offers other features, such as scanning Infrastructure-as-code (IaC) files for misconfigurations and security vulnerabilities, integrating with CI/CD workflows and blocking non-compliant deployments.

Wiz uses a single policy framework that spans from production back to code, making developers more productive at every stage. It also offers resources for Kubernetes security, including a Kubernetes Security Guide and Container Security Best Practices.

Wiz is designed to offer a unified approach to container security, so customers can secure their container images from development to runtime and ensure compliance from start to finish. The platform offers a range of other resources, including guides and reports on Kubernetes security and container security best practices.

With complete visibility and contextual risk assessment, Wiz helps customers quickly identify and prioritize vulnerabilities and remediate them efficiently, improving the security posture of their containerized environments.
