What is Wiz CSPM & the Security Graph?
Agentless cloud posture — connect AWS/Azure/GCP/OCI via API, scan in minutes, and the Security Graph correlates findings into ranked attack paths. Folds in CWPP & agentless vuln management.
Alert-list scanners vs the Wiz Security Graph — the honest table
What consolidation actually replaces, dimension by dimension.
| Dimension | Unprotected / signature email | CSPM & Security Graph (Wiz) |
|---|---|---|
| Findings | 10,000s of alerts | 10 ranked attack paths |
| Deployment | Agents on every workload | Agentless — API, minutes |
| Coverage | Agent-gap blind spots | Full estate (all accounts) |
| Correlation | Siloed tools | One Security Graph |
| Prioritisation | Raw CVSS lists | Real exploitability |
| Tooling | CSPM + vuln + CWPP separate | One agentless CNAPP |
| Data residency | Data leaves cloud | Reads metadata (stays in cloud) |
| Best fit | (varies) | Agentless posture + graph across multi-cloud |
Wiz CSPM & the Security Graph is agentless cloud posture — connect AWS/Azure/GCP/OCI via API, scan in minutes, and the Security Graph correlates findings into ranked attack paths (toxic combinations), folding in CWPP & agentless vuln management. Honest: premium & quote-only; Orca pioneered agentless-graph (often cheaper); Defender is cheaper for Azure-heavy; and Google-ownership makes long-term neutrality a committed-but-unproven promise. TechBag scopes it & adds GST.
The five pieces of the platform
Vendors love diagrams; buyers need to know what they’re actually operating. Here’s the whole platform, demystified.
Connect Agentless (API)
Wiz connects to your cloud accounts via API, with no agents or sidecars, reading metadata and snapshot-scanning workloads for full visibility in minutes.
Discover Everything
Wiz inventories every resource, workload, container, identity, data store and network path, scanning for misconfigurations, CVEs, secrets and exposure.
Correlate on the Security Graph
The Security Graph correlates misconfigurations, a CVE, over-privileged identities, exposed workloads and leaked secrets into the toxic combinations that form real attack paths.
Prioritise the Attack Paths
Wiz ranks toxic combinations by exploitability — what an attacker could walk from internet exposure to sensitive data — so you fix what breaks most paths.
Fold In CWPP & Vuln Management
The same agentless scan covers workload protection (CWPP) and vulnerability management, so posture, workloads and CVEs share one graph and one list.
One agentless Security Graph of the cloud — findings joined into toxic combinations and ranked by real exploitability.
Twelve capabilities. Discover, correlate, prioritise.
Wiz correlates every cloud finding into ranked attack paths — agentless, in minutes — the flagship of the Wiz portfolio.
Agentless API Onboarding
Connect AWS, Azure, GCP and OCI via API, with no agents or sidecars, for full-estate visibility in minutes.
Full Cloud Asset Inventory
A complete, always-current inventory of every resource, workload, container, identity, data store and network path.
Misconfiguration & Compliance
Detects misconfigurations against CIS, PCI, ISO, SOC 2 and your own policies continuously, with drift alerting.
Agentless Vulnerability Management
Finds OS and package CVEs across workloads, containers and images without agents, in the same scan.
Exposed Secrets & Internet Exposure
Surfaces leaked secrets, exposed keys and internet-facing resources as nodes on the attack path, not lost in a list.
The Wiz Security Graph
Joins every misconfiguration, CVE, identity, exposure and secret into one graph, showing how risks chain.
Toxic Combinations
Reveals toxic combinations — internet-exposed + critical CVE + admin identity + reaches sensitive data — that form a breach path.
Attack-Path Analysis
Visualises the exact path an attacker could walk to your data, so remediation targets the choke points that break most paths.
Context & Ownership Correlation
Ties each risk to its team, app and environment, so the right owner gets the fix, not a nameless ticket.
Exploitability-Based Prioritisation
Ranks every issue by real exploitability on the graph, not raw CVSS, so the issues breaking most paths rise to the top.
Guided Remediation & Guardrails
Turns each ranked path into guided remediation with an owner, steps and, where possible, guardrails against recurrence.
One Agentless CNAPP
Posture, workloads and vulnerabilities share one graph and list — the anchor for CIEM, DSPM, Wiz Code and Wiz Defend.

Here’s what genuinely sets Wiz apart (and where rivals fit — Orca, Prisma, Defender).
The Security Graph correlates — it kills alert fatigue
Cloud scanners produce thousands of disconnected findings no team can triage. The Wiz Security Graph correlates misconfigurations, CVEs, identities, exposure and secrets into toxic combinations — such as an exposed workload with a critical CVE and an admin identity reaching data — so you see the 10 chains that matter, not 10,000 alerts.
Agentless — full coverage in minutes, no rollout project
Wiz connects to AWS, Azure, GCP and OCI via API, reading metadata and snapshot-scanning workloads, so it covers every account in minutes with no agents and no rollout gaps. Data stays in your cloud. Runtime detection needs telemetry agents lack; that is the separate Wiz Sensor and Wiz Defend.
One agentless CNAPP — posture, workloads, CVEs on one graph
CSPM, workload protection (CWPP) and vulnerability management run off one agentless scan on one Security Graph, replacing three tools, consoles and lists. Correlation needs one graph, and CSPM anchors the suite: CIEM, DSPM, Wiz Code and Wiz Defend extend it.
The category-defining leader — built by the ex-Adallom team
Wiz was founded in January 2020 by the team behind Adallom, sold to Microsoft in 2015. It became the fastest software company ever to $100M ARR (~18 months) and says it secures 65% of the Fortune 100; customers include DocuSign, Slack, BMW and Morgan Stanley. Alphabet acquired it for ~$32B in March 2026.
Now Google-owned — the honest neutrality question (and India)
Alphabet closed its ~$32B acquisition of Wiz in March 2026. Google has committed to keeping Wiz multi-cloud, but that is unproven, a fair concern for AWS- or Azure-centric buyers. In India, Wiz sells via cloud marketplaces, AWS India issues GST invoices from Nov 6 2025, and agentless scanning keeps data in your cloud.
The honest scope
Wiz leads on time-to-value and attack-path clarity. Orca pioneered agentless graphs and is often cheaper; Prisma Cloud is broader; Defender for Cloud is cheaper for Azure-centric estates; CrowdStrike and Sysdig lead on runtime. Wiz is premium: AWS Marketplace lists ~$24k/yr Essential for 100 workloads, and enterprise deals run $100k–300k+.

Quick poll — what’s driving your evaluation?
Talk to an advisor“Instead of 40,000 findings we chase the few attack paths that reach sensitive data. Alert fatigue ended overnight.”
“We connected AWS and Azure via API and saw our whole estate, including forgotten accounts, in an afternoon.”
“We consolidated a CSPM, a vuln scanner and a workload tool into Wiz. One graph and one prioritised list.”
“Wiz is premium. We compared Orca, cheaper and also agentless, and Defender for Azure; Wiz won on graph clarity.”
“We’re AWS-heavy and questioned Google’s ownership. Neutrality is committed but unproven; we proceeded eyes open.”
“Agentless scanning reads metadata and our data stays in our cloud, which made DPDPA and RBI residency straightforward.”
“Seeing the chain — exposed workload, critical CVE, admin identity, our data — let us break three paths with one fix.”
“Premium and quote-only. TechBag compared Orca and Prisma and drew it down against our AWS committed spend.”
Where everyone sits — the grids
Analyst firms bury this view behind paywalls, and review-site grids score satisfaction, not fit for your estate. So here’s TechBag’s synthesis of the cloud-security (CNAPP) market — tap any vendor to see why it sits where it does.

Wiz vs the cloud-security (CNAPP) field
Prisma Cloud, CrowdStrike, Defender for Cloud, Orca and Sysdig — honest lanes; the edge is agentless time-to-value + the Security Graph. Want agentless-graph cheaper? Orca (it pioneered it). Azure-heavy? Defender. Runtime depth? CrowdStrike/Sysdig. We say so.
| Dimension | Wiz | Palo Alto Prisma Cloud | CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud | Microsoft Defender for Cloud | Orca Security | Sysdig |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Position | Agentless graph-led CNAPP | Broadest CNAPP (Palo Alto) | Agent-led, runtime-strong | Native, Azure-bundled | Agentless-graph pioneer | Runtime/Falco-led |
| Agentless posture + graph | Best-in-class (Security Graph) | Good, broad | Growing (agent-led) | Good (native) | Pioneered (SideScanning) | Some |
| Time-to-value (deploy) | Minutes (agentless API) | Slower (broad) | Agent rollout | Fast in Azure | Fast (agentless) | Agent rollout |
| Runtime detection (CDR) | Newer (Wiz Sensor/Defend) | Good | Deep, battle-tested | Good (native) | Growing | Deep (Falco) |
| Price / value | Premium (quote-only) | Premium (broad) | Bundle-dependent | Cheaper (Azure-bundled) | Often cheaper | Mid |
| Multi-cloud neutrality | Committed — now Google-owned | Vendor-neutral | Vendor-neutral | Azure-favoured | Vendor-neutral | Vendor-neutral |
| Best fit | Agentless posture + graph across multi-cloud | Broadest single-vendor CNAPP | Agent-led runtime + endpoint (TechBag sells it) | Azure-heavy, native, cost-led | Agentless-graph, often cheaper | Runtime/Falco depth |
