Wiz is a Tel Aviv based, cloud risk visibility solution for enterprise security. It provides a 360° view of security risks across clouds, containers and workloads.
Amazon Macie is limited to an AWS environment and fulfills some of the same functions that CloudLock does in SaaS products. Both are very valuable tools, so the decision is not really which to use, but whether to use both for their respective environments. In general I feel …
We have not used other cloud security products. While choosing a product a large factor was the current and future integrations with other Cisco security stack products. While this product is not the most affordable, the security provided to the organization and client data is …
Cisco CloudLock has an automatic approach to matters safety, analysis, and monitoring. Further, Cisco CloudLock has supported encryption, making it standard and simpler. Again, Cisco CloudLock [ensures] that credible details and documents such as credit card numbers are fully …
It has a better alert mechanism and provides the facility to take action within the G Suite. With McAfee, we did not have these features and it is more cost-effective than McAfee. Although they are similar, now that we have used Cisco CloudLock, I would recommend using Cisco …
Prior to Wiz, I have used mostly AWS security services such as security hub for CSPM and GuardDuty for threat intel. Although these services are great, it makes it hard to centralize this information in a multi-cloud deployment. It is understandable that AWS native services may …
After previously utilizing Orca and testing Tenable, we preferred Wiz over the competition. The reporting, usability, and feature-rich platform enabled us to investigate security risks and issues simultaneously.
As someone relatively new to the security space, coming from a software engineering background in identity, I don’t have deep experience across a wide range of security tools. That said, based on the products I have used—such as Palo Alto’s Cortex XDR, Panorama, GlobalProtect, …
Wiz is a solid solution over these other products, it has capabilities in all clouds that we utilize that others didn't have at the time. Its much easier to segment access than CrowdStrike as an example. Engineers quickly because familiar with the tool to help reduce the …
We chose Wiz over Tenable.io due to its agentless deployment, holistic security graph, and cloud-native focus. Wiz’s quick setup, intuitive interface, and advanced risk prioritisation provided actionable insights faster, making it a better fit for our multi-cloud environment.
We previously used Lacework but transitioned to Wiz as part of our effort to improve cloud security visibility and streamline risk management. While Lacework provided useful insights, we found that Wiz offered a clearer, more intuitive interface and better collaboration …
Tenable.io and Qualys are good just for vulnerability management. Wiz has very good capability to show all issues on single console and also it has provision to show them in different dashboards in different category. It shows cloud configuration gap, AWS cis benchmark gap and …
Cisco CloudLock is there to shield the most sensitive business database and activities, for instance, the [customer's] credit cards, the code keys, the login details, among others. More so, Cisco CloudLock protects and monitors some information in various software or systems, like that of G-suit, making the entire system reliable and convenient. Finally, Cisco CloudLock determines the response of the activity be conducted to control some of the activities that [put] a company in threat.
Wiz is well-suited if you want to run real-time scans against resources that were recently patched or configured. It is good to keep track of vulnerabilities found and what can be done to resolve the issues without having to open up multiple tabs. Overall, it is good to keep an eye on how well cloud teams or cloud security teams are doing.
Data Loss Prevention - files accessed from outside of the organization can be audited or blocked based on content, file type, and regex
Policy Management - policy options are sophisticated and give great control over the actions to be taken and when the policy should be triggered
Behavioral Analysis - cloudlock is usually the first place we learn about suspicious activity in our SaaS applications, such as login attempts from outside the country
Getting started with Wiz was quick and painless. The onboarding process was well-structured, and their team provided solid support to help us integrate Wiz into our cloud environments with minimal effort. Documentation is clear, and their customer success team is always on hand to help with any questions, making the adoption process seamless
One of Wiz’s biggest strengths is how clearly it presents security risks. It provides a well organised view of issues, making it easy to see where action is needed. The AI-powered Remediation Wizard is a great feature, offering guided fixes and automation options that speed up resolution, reducing the time spent manually investigating and fixing issues.
The Wiz interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, which is a big plus when dealing with complex environments. Everything is laid out in a way that makes it simple to drill down into issues
Wiz scanning doesn't detect risks in real time. New sensors are now included and these capabilities are growing. I believe that within a year Wiz will get good real time capabilities
Wiz can generate a lot of alerts, which can be overwhelming, especially if you have a very dynamic environment. It's important to set up filters so that you only receive alerts for the risks that are most important to you.
Wiz can improve the way it augments the vulnerability data with additional data on Technologies. It sometimes has missing technologies but updated its inventory as soon as we opened a case on that.
The UI is very user-friendly, with documentation available on every page of the application. New users can learn about the product features as they navigate through several different pages, using the instructions at the top of each page, making it quite easy to use.
They are very quick to respond and go the extra mile to help address our issues. That said, we've only needed them at the early stages of implementation for support help and occasionally when we want to do a full re-scan of our site. They are very flexible in working with us on the timing of such scans.
We have not used other cloud security products. While choosing a product a large factor was the current and future integrations with other Cisco security stack products. While this product is not the most affordable, the security provided to the organization and client data is well worth the investment. We use SecureX to integrate and perform automated responses.
Prior to Wiz, I have used mostly AWS security services such as security HUB for CSPM and GuardDuty for threat intel. Although these services are great, it makes it hard to centralize this information in a multi-cloud deployment. It is understandable that AWS native services may provide more info and realtime security analysis of its services, but does not scale well with a growing organization looking to leverage amazing tools from other CSPs. Wiz may not have real time analysis or the most relevant vulnerability findings for cloud platforms compared to their native solutions, but Wiz scales extremely well, which in cases is a more valuable asset.
We haven't completed a full rollout yet, but the goal is to shift left security to all of our product teams so that security is a shared effort across the organization.
We want to be able to demonstrate fast remediations, corrective action plans with tangibles from Wiz in response to audits or red team findings.
We would like to also use information from Wiz to substantiate answers to security questionnaires that customers requires us to fill out in order to do business with them.
