Quick answer
Twelve 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.
The flagship — agentless cloud security posture management that connects AWS/Azure/GCP/OCI via API (no agents), scans in minutes, and correlates every finding on the Wiz Security Graph into ranked ATTACK PATHS (toxic combinations). Instead of 10,000 alerts, you fix the 10 chains that could genuinely become a breach. Folds in CWPP and agentless vulnerability management — one scan, one graph, one prioritised list. It kills alert fatigue.
CIEM
Right-size cloud entitlements.
Tackle the hardest cloud problem — IDENTITY. Wiz CIEM maps every human and machine identity across AWS/Azure/GCP agentlessly, computes EFFECTIVE permissions (what they can ACTUALLY do), and right-sizes toward least privilege. The Wiz edge: identity risk lives IN the Security Graph, so an over-privileged identity appears as a link in a real attack path — you fix the excess that completes a chain. (Pure-plays Sonrai/Tenable go deeper standalone.)
DSPM
Find & protect sensitive data.
Answer ‘where is our sensitive data, and who can reach it?’ — Wiz DSPM discovers cloud data agentlessly (including SHADOW DATA in forgotten copies), classifies PII/PHI/PCI/secrets, and maps who can REACH it. Its edge: data shown as the CROWN JEWEL on real attack paths, so you fix the exposures that could lead to a breach. Metadata-only (data stays in your cloud) — residency-friendly. Honest: good-enough-in-context, not a full data-governance suite (Varonis/BigID go deeper).
Wiz Code
Code-to-cloud correlation.
Shift Wiz LEFT — scan IaC, code/dependencies (SCA), secrets, CI/CD pipelines and container images pre-deploy, with 1-click FIX PRs in developers’ tools. The differentiator: CODE-TO-CLOUD correlation — because Wiz sees your running cloud, it traces production risk to its root in code and prioritises code findings by real cloud reachability. Honest: compelling BECAUSE you run Wiz Cloud; as a first standalone AppSec buy, Snyk is more developer-loved and Aqua/Trivy stronger for containers.
Wiz Defend
Catch attacks in progress.
Runtime cloud detection & response — the one thing agentless can’t do. The eBPF Wiz SENSOR (in-workload) plus agentless cloud telemetry detect and respond to runtime threats (including AI-native) WITH Security-Graph context, so responders see blast radius instantly and close the loop back to posture. Honest: this is where Wiz is CATCHING UP, not leading — CrowdStrike & Sysdig/Falco have deeper, battle-tested runtime, and the Sensor is a SECOND architecture (an agent) alongside the agentless core.
One correlation engine — the Wiz Security Graph
Platform & engineEverything Wiz does runs on ONE engine — the Security Graph — which joins every finding (misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, identities, exposure, data, secrets) into one connected graph and correlates them into the TOXIC COMBINATIONS that form real attack paths. Posture (CSPM), identity (CIEM), data (DSPM), shift-left (Wiz Code) and runtime (Wiz Defend) all share and enrich that one graph — which is what lets Wiz show WHICH risks actually chain into a breach, rather than a pile of disconnected alerts. The graph is the moat: correlation, not accumulation.
Agentless-first — and the honest runtime caveat
Platform & engineWiz is famous for being AGENTLESS: connect via API for full-estate coverage in minutes, no agents, no rollout, no blind spots, and (reading cloud metadata) your data stays in your cloud — favourable for residency. That model is ideal for posture, identity, data and code. But real-time RUNTIME detection needs live in-workload telemetry an agentless snapshot can’t capture — which is why Wiz Defend uses the newer eBPF Wiz Sensor (a SECOND architecture, an agent). So for runtime you run two models, and the ‘fully agentless’ story no longer fully applies. (Runtime is also where Wiz is catching up to CrowdStrike/Sysdig — validate for your needs.)
Why “agentless + the Security Graph” is the whole story
Cloud scanners drown you in thousands of disconnected alerts, and no team can triage them. Wiz bet onagentless coverage plus the Security Graph — correlate findings into the few attack paths that matter— agentless coverage in minutes (no agents, no blind spots) and the Security Graph that correlates every finding into the few ranked attack paths that actually matter doubled down on it.
The Security Graph
Instead of a pile of alerts, Wiz correlates every finding — misconfig, CVE, identity, exposure, data, secret — into ranked attack paths (toxic combinations). Correlation, not accumulation. The moat that kills alert fatigue.
Agentless (API-native)
Connect AWS/Azure/GCP/OCI via API — full-estate coverage in minutes, no agents, no rollout, no blind spots — reading cloud metadata (your data stays in your cloud). Fast time-to-value; residency-friendly. (Runtime adds the eBPF Sensor.)
Catch What Others Miss
Because it correlates, Wiz surfaces the handful of attack paths that could genuinely lead to a breach — ranked by real exploitability, not raw CVSS — so teams fix what matters, not everything. Best-in-class attack-path prioritisation.
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 to runtime. One platform, correlated, not a pile of point tools.
The Leader, Now Google-Owned — Local via TechBag
The category-defining CNAPP leader (fastest to $100M ARR; 65% of the Fortune 100), built by the ex-Adallom team — now an Alphabet subsidiary (~$32B, closed Mar 2026). Honest: premium & quote-only, agentless-first, and long-term multi-cloud neutrality is committed-but-unproven now a hyperscaler owns it. Agentless (metadata-only) suits DPDPA/RBI/SEBI; TechBag adds scoping, honest compare, marketplace draw-down, INR/GST and support.
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.

Every term on these pages, in one place- Wiz
- The category-defining agentless cloud security (CNAPP) company — correlate cloud findings on the Security Graph into ranked attack paths. Founded Jan 2020 (Israel); now a Google/Alphabet subsidiary (~$32B, closed Mar 2026).
- CNAPP
- Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform — a unified platform covering cloud posture, workloads, identity, data, code and runtime. Wiz is the leading agentless CNAPP.
- Agentless
- Connecting to the cloud via API (reading metadata, snapshotting workloads) with no agents to deploy — full-estate coverage in minutes, no blind spots, data stays in your cloud. Wiz’s core model (runtime adds the eBPF Sensor).
- The Security Graph
- Wiz’s correlation engine — it joins every finding (misconfig, CVE, identity, exposure, data, secret) into one graph and correlates them into the toxic combinations that form real attack paths. The moat.
- Toxic combination / attack path
- A chain of findings that together form a walkable path to a breach (e.g. internet-exposed workload + critical CVE + admin identity that reaches sensitive data). Wiz ranks these by real exploitability.
- CSPM
- Cloud Security Posture Management — continuously find misconfigurations and compliance drift. Wiz’s flagship, on the Security Graph, folding in CWPP and agentless vulnerability management.
- CIEM
- Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management — map, analyse and right-size cloud identities and permissions toward least privilege. Wiz shows identity risk in the attack-path graph.
- DSPM
- Data Security Posture Management — discover, classify and protect sensitive cloud data (including shadow data). Wiz shows data as the crown jewel on real attack paths.
- Wiz Code (ASPM)
- Application Security Posture Management / shift-left — scan IaC, code, secrets, pipelines and images pre-deploy, with code-to-cloud correlation (the running-cloud context no pure AppSec tool has).
- Wiz Defend / the eBPF Sensor (CDR)
- Runtime cloud detection & response — the eBPF Wiz Sensor plus cloud telemetry, with Security-Graph context. Newer (Sensor preview late 2024); a second architecture alongside the agentless core.
- The Google acquisition & neutrality
- Google/Alphabet closed its ~$32B acquisition of Wiz in March 2026. Multi-cloud neutrality is publicly committed but a reasonable-but-unproven promise now a hyperscaler owns Wiz.
- The India layer
- Agentless (metadata-only) suits DPDPA/RBI/SEBI residency; the motion is cloud marketplaces (AWS India as operator from Nov 6 2025, GST invoices). TechBag adds scoping, honest compare, INR/GST and support.
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)
Your clouds (AWS/Azure/GCP/OCI), workload count, and priorities (posture? identity? data? shift-left? runtime?). TechBag scopes it and compares honestly vs Orca (cheaper agentless-graph), Prisma (broadest), Defender (Azure-native), and CrowdStrike/Sysdig (runtime) — and flags the Google-ownership neutrality question.
Connect agentless (minutes)
Connect your cloud accounts via API — no agents, no rollout — for full-estate visibility in minutes: misconfigurations, CVEs, identities, exposure, data and secrets across every account. Data stays in your cloud (residency-friendly).
Correlate & prioritise on the graph
The Security Graph correlates every finding into ranked attack paths (toxic combinations) — so your team fixes the handful of chains that reach sensitive data first, not thousands of isolated alerts. Alert fatigue ends.
Extend across the CNAPP
Add CIEM (identity), DSPM (data), Wiz Code (shift-left, code-to-cloud) and Wiz Defend (runtime, via the eBPF Sensor) — one graph from code to cloud to runtime. Note runtime adds a second architecture and is newer.
Compare honestly
Cheaper agentless-graph? Orca. Broadest CNAPP? Prisma. Azure-native cost? Defender. Deepest runtime? CrowdStrike/Sysdig. Deep data governance? Varonis. Deepest standalone AppSec? Snyk. TechBag sells CrowdStrike & Tenable Cloud Security too, and advises honestly.
Buy through the channel
Wiz is premium & quote-only — its motion is cloud marketplaces (AWS/Azure/GCP; draw it down against committed cloud spend). AWS India is Marketplace operator (GST invoices) from Nov 6 2025. TechBag scopes it, confirms DPDPA residency, and adds INR/GST and local support.
The licensing cheat-sheet
| Product | Licensing model | How you enter | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| CSPM & Security Graph | Per workload — by quote / marketplace | Agentless posture + attack paths; CWPP + vuln mgmt | Kill alert fatigue |
| CIEM | With CNAPP — by quote | Map/analyse/right-size cloud identity risk | Least privilege, in-context |
| DSPM | With CNAPP — by quote | Find/classify/protect sensitive cloud data | Shadow data & data risk |
| Wiz Code | With CNAPP — by quote | Shift-left IaC/SCA/secrets/pipelines/images | Code-to-cloud correlation |
| Wiz Defend (Sensor) | Add-on — by quote (~$28k/yr Sensor) | Runtime CDR — eBPF Sensor + cloud telemetry | Graph-context runtime (newer) |
Per-user/device plus appliances and MDR service — TechBag models the mix (managed vs self-managed) for your size.
Five pitfalls that cost buyers quarters
Buying Wiz for a single-cloud or small estate (overkill)
Wiz is premium and quote-only, and its power is correlating risk across a complex, multi-cloud estate. For a single-cloud shop (especially Azure-only), a small team, or a ‘good-enough’ need, Wiz can be overkill — Microsoft Defender for Cloud is cheaper and native for Azure-heavy estates, and Orca offers agentless-graph often at a lower price. Wiz shines when you have real multi-cloud scale and alert fatigue to kill. TechBag scopes honestly whether Wiz’s premium fits your estate — or whether a cheaper option serves you better.
Assuming Wiz is fully agentless (runtime needs the Sensor)
Wiz’s CORE is agentless — brilliant for posture, identity, data and code. But real-time RUNTIME detection (Wiz Defend) needs the eBPF Wiz Sensor: a SECOND architecture (an agent) running in your workloads. So for runtime, you run two models, and the ‘fully agentless’ story no longer fully applies. And runtime is where Wiz is CATCHING UP (the Sensor entered preview late 2024) — CrowdStrike and Sysdig/Falco have deeper, battle-tested runtime. Understand the split: agentless for posture, a Sensor for runtime. TechBag scopes the runtime trade-off honestly.
Overlooking the Google-ownership neutrality question
In March 2026 Google/Alphabet closed its ~$32B acquisition of Wiz — now an Alphabet subsidiary within Google Cloud. Wiz’s whole value is being MULTI-CLOUD, and Google/Wiz have publicly committed to keeping it so. But that long-term neutrality is a reasonable-but-UNPROVEN promise now a hyperscaler owns Wiz — a legitimate concern for an AWS- or Azure-heavy buyer (will roadmap priorities, over years, quietly favour GCP?). It’s not a proven problem, but it’s a fair thing to weigh. TechBag gives you the honest read — no spin — and scopes Wiz with the neutrality caveat explicit.
Treating Wiz’s DSPM/CIEM as full pure-play replacements
Wiz’s CIEM and DSPM are genuinely valuable IN CONTEXT (identity and data risk correlated on the attack-path graph). But they’re strongest as part of the Wiz CNAPP, not as deep standalone pure-plays. For the deepest standalone least-privilege automation, Sonrai or Tenable Cloud Security (Ermetic) go deeper; for deep, broad data governance across SaaS AND on-prem, Varonis or BigID go deeper (TechBag sells Varonis & Tenable). Wiz’s edge is context and correlation; the pure-plays’ edge is depth. TechBag scopes which you actually need.
Missing the India marketplace / residency motion
Wiz’s main buying motion is cloud MARKETPLACES (AWS/Azure/GCP) — you can draw Wiz down against committed cloud spend — and from Nov 6 2025 AWS India acts as the Marketplace operator for India sellers to Indian buyers, issuing GST invoices (18% GST). Agentless (metadata-only; data stays in your cloud) is favourable for DPDPA/RBI/SEBI residency. Being Google-owned may strengthen the GCP-marketplace/India motion (weigh with the neutrality caveat). Don’t overlook drawing Wiz down against your cloud commit — TechBag helps you use the marketplace motion, confirm residency, and handles GST.

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)
The biggest shift in cloud security is from agent-based tools to AGENTLESS, API-connected CNAPPs that cover the whole estate in minutes with no rollout.
What it means for you
Wiz defined and leads agentless CNAPP — connect via API for full coverage in minutes, no agents, no blind spots, data stays in your cloud.
Attack-path / graph-based prioritisation
Security is moving from endless alert lists to GRAPH-based correlation that surfaces the few real attack paths (toxic combinations) that matter.
What it means for you
The Wiz Security Graph correlates every finding into ranked attack paths — the 10 that matter, not the 10,000 that don’t — killing alert fatigue.
Consolidation onto one CNAPP
Organisations are consolidating separate CSPM, CIEM, DSPM, AppSec and runtime tools onto ONE platform — because correlation needs one shared graph.
What it means for you
Wiz unifies posture, identity, data, shift-left and runtime on one Security Graph — code to cloud to runtime — so risk is correlated, not siloed.
Cloud data security (DSPM) & shadow data
As cloud data sprawls into forgotten copies, teams need to discover and protect sensitive data — answering ‘where is our data, and who can reach it?’
What it means for you
Wiz DSPM finds sensitive (and shadow) data agentlessly and shows it as the crown jewel on real attack paths — metadata-only, residency-friendly.
Hyperscaler M&A in security (Google–Wiz)
Hyperscalers are acquiring security leaders — Google/Alphabet’s ~$32B purchase of Wiz (closed 2026) is the largest example — raising real questions about multi-cloud neutrality.
What it means for you
Wiz is now an Alphabet subsidiary; Google/Wiz commit to multi-cloud, but neutrality is a reasonable-but-unproven promise buyers should weigh — TechBag gives the honest read.
Cloud security & India (marketplace + residency)
Indian enterprises are going multi-cloud and adopting CNAPPs via cloud marketplaces — and value residency-friendly, agentless tools under DPDPA/RBI/SEBI.
What it means for you
Wiz’s agentless (metadata-only) model suits India residency; its marketplace motion (AWS India operator, GST invoices) fits — with TechBag adding the local layer.
