The company, at a glance
Quick answer
Five intel pages. One integrated platform.
The complete Wiz platform — every linked card is a full intel page, from the CSPM flagship to runtime detection & response.
CSPM & Security Graph
Correlate findings into attack paths.
Agentless CSPM across AWS, Azure, GCP and OCI correlating every finding on the Security Graph into ranked attack paths, CWPP included.
CIEM
Right-size cloud entitlements.
Maps every human and machine identity agentlessly, computes effective permissions and right-sizes to least privilege, inside the graph.
DSPM
Find & protect sensitive data.
Finds cloud data agentlessly, including shadow data, classifies PII, PHI, PCI and secrets, and shows who can reach it. Metadata-only.
Wiz Code
Code-to-cloud correlation.
Scans IaC, dependencies, secrets, pipelines and images pre-deploy with one-click fix PRs, and traces cloud risk to its root in code.
Wiz Defend
Catch attacks in progress.
Runtime detection and response: the eBPF Wiz Sensor plus agentless cloud telemetry, with Security Graph context to show blast radius.
The Wiz Security Graph
Platform & engineWiz’s one engine links misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, identities, data and secrets into the toxic combinations behind attack paths.
Agentless-first, with a runtime caveat
Platform & engineAgentless via API, ideal for posture, identity, data and code; runtime detection in Wiz Defend needs an agent, the eBPF Wiz Sensor.

Why “agentless + the Security Graph” is the whole story
Cloud scanners drown you in thousands of disconnected alerts that no team can triage. Wiz bet on agentless coverage plus the Security Graph — visibility in minutes without agents, and a graph that correlates every finding into the few ranked attack paths that actually matter.
The Security Graph
Wiz correlates every finding — misconfig, CVE, identity, exposure, data, secret — into ranked attack paths (toxic combinations) instead of a pile of alerts. It is what ends alert fatigue.
Agentless (API-native)
Connects to AWS/Azure/GCP/OCI via API for full-estate coverage in minutes, with no agents or rollout, reading metadata so your data stays in your cloud. Runtime adds the eBPF Sensor.
Catch What Others Miss
Correlation surfaces the few attack paths that could genuinely lead to a breach, ranked by real exploitability rather than raw CVSS, so teams fix what matters first.
One CNAPP — build to run
Posture (CSPM), identity (CIEM), data (DSPM), shift-left (Wiz Code) and runtime (Wiz Defend) on one graph, from code to cloud — one correlated platform, not point tools.
Google-Owned, Local via TechBag
The CNAPP leader (fastest to $100M ARR), an Alphabet subsidiary since the ~$32B deal closed Mar 2026. Premium, quote-only; neutrality is committed-but-unproven. TechBag adds INR/GST.
Start with CSPM & the Security Graph (kill alert fatigue) — then add CIEM (identity), DSPM (data), Wiz Code (shift-left) and Wiz Defend (runtime). One agentless CNAPP on one graph.

What is Wiz CSPM & the Security Graph?
Agentless cloud posture that correlates findings into ranked attack paths — the 10 that matter, not 10,000. Minutes to value.
Read →The Security Graph & toxic combinations
How Wiz joins misconfigs, CVEs, identities, exposure and data into the few chains that form real attack paths.
Read →Cloud identity risk (CIEM)
Effective permissions — what identities CAN actually do — and why identity-in-the-graph beats an isolated least-privilege list.
Read →Shadow data & DSPM
Find sensitive cloud data (including forgotten copies) and see it as the crown jewel on real attack paths.
Read →Code-to-cloud correlation
Why linking code to your running cloud is the context no pure AppSec scanner has — fix the code that creates real risk.

Buy it like you’ve done this before
The procurement playbook TechBag runs with IT buyers — steps, licensing cheat-sheet, and the pitfalls that cost quarters.
Scope (& the honest field)
List clouds, workload count and priorities. TechBag compares Wiz with Orca, Prisma, Defender and CrowdStrike/Sysdig, and flags Google-ownership neutrality.
Connect agentless (minutes)
Connect cloud accounts via API, agent-free, to see misconfigurations, CVEs, identities, exposure, data and secrets in minutes. Data stays in your cloud.
Correlate & prioritise on the graph
The Security Graph turns findings into ranked attack paths, so the team fixes the few chains reaching sensitive data first, not thousands of isolated alerts.
Extend across the CNAPP
Add CIEM, DSPM, Wiz Code and Wiz Defend on the same graph. Note that runtime uses the eBPF Sensor, a second and newer architecture.
Compare honestly
Cheaper agentless-graph: Orca. Broadest: Prisma. Azure-native cost: Defender. Runtime depth: CrowdStrike/Sysdig. Data governance: Varonis. AppSec: Snyk.
Buy through the channel
Wiz is quote-only, sold mainly via cloud marketplaces against committed spend; AWS India issues GST invoices from Nov 6 2025. TechBag confirms DPDPA residency.

Five pitfalls that cost buyers quarters
Buying Wiz for a single-cloud or small estate (overkill)
Wiz is premium and quote-only, and pays off on complex multi-cloud estates. For an Azure-only shop or a small team, Defender for Cloud is cheaper and Orca is often lower-priced. Check fit first.
Assuming Wiz is fully agentless (runtime needs the Sensor)
Posture, identity, data and code are agentless, but runtime detection (Wiz Defend) needs the eBPF Sensor, a second architecture still catching up with CrowdStrike and Sysdig. Plan for both models.
Overlooking the Google-ownership neutrality question
Since Google/Alphabet’s ~$32B purchase closed in March 2026, Wiz’s multi-cloud neutrality rests on a public commitment that is reasonable but unproven. AWS- or Azure-heavy buyers should weigh it.
Treating Wiz’s DSPM/CIEM as full pure-play replacements
Wiz CIEM and DSPM shine in context on the attack-path graph, not as standalone pure-plays. For deeper least-privilege automation see Sonrai or Tenable Cloud Security; for data governance, Varonis or BigID.
Missing the India marketplace / residency motion
Wiz is mainly bought via AWS, Azure and GCP marketplaces against committed spend; AWS India acts as Marketplace operator with GST invoices from Nov 6 2025. Use the draw-down; confirm DPDPA residency.

Category momentum — estimated market growth
Illustrative CAGR synthesis**Directionally consistent with public analyst forecasts; verify exact figures before quoting. The takeaway: agentless CNAPP, attack-path prioritisation and cloud data security compound fastest — exactly where Wiz (the Security Graph) is placed.
Agentless cloud security (CNAPP)
Cloud security is moving from agent-based tools to agentless, API-connected CNAPPs that cover the whole estate in minutes.
What it means for you
Wiz defined agentless CNAPP: API connection, full coverage in minutes, data stays in your cloud.
Attack-path / graph-based prioritisation
Security teams are moving from long alert lists to graph correlation that surfaces the few real attack paths.
What it means for you
Wiz’s Security Graph ranks the 10 paths that matter, not the 10,000 that don’t.
Consolidation onto one CNAPP
Buyers are folding separate CSPM, CIEM, DSPM, AppSec and runtime tools into one platform with one shared graph.
What it means for you
Wiz puts posture, identity, data, shift-left and runtime on one graph, so risk is correlated.
Cloud data security (DSPM) & shadow data
Cloud data sprawls into forgotten copies, so teams must answer where sensitive data is and who can reach it.
What it means for you
Wiz DSPM finds sensitive and shadow data agentlessly and shows it on real attack paths.
Hyperscaler M&A in security (Google–Wiz)
Hyperscalers are buying security leaders; Google’s ~$32B Wiz deal (closed 2026) raises multi-cloud neutrality questions.
What it means for you
Wiz is now Alphabet-owned; its multi-cloud commitment is reasonable but unproven.
Cloud security & India (marketplace + residency)
Indian enterprises are going multi-cloud, buying CNAPPs via marketplaces and favouring agentless tools under DPDPA/RBI/SEBI.
What it means for you
Metadata-only scanning suits India residency, and AWS India marketplace sales carry GST invoices.
