Spec score 6.5 #14 of 25 in Cloud Detection and Response Software

What it is

Wiz Defend provides real-time threat detection, investigation, and response across cloud environments, including AI applications. It combines runtime signals from the Wiz sensor, cloud and SaaS logs, and agentless risk context to trace attack paths and assess possible blast radius. Telemetry maps to MITRE ATT&CK, and the product identifies coverage gaps before an incident. Its Blue Agent triages threats and prepares an investigation and verdict for analyst review. Response options include cloud containment playbooks, root-cause analysis, source-code remediation, and automation through Wiz Workflows. Wiz Defend detects AI runtime threats including prompt injection, model exfiltration, and MCP server attacks. The Wiz Sensor add-on monitors and protects VM, containerized, and serverless container workloads. Kubernetes capabilities include file integrity monitoring, drift detection, threat monitoring, and blocking on container hosts. Integration with Google Security Operations lets analysts investigate in either platform, with threat status, severity, and comments syncing in real time. Wiz describes the product for SOC, threat intelligence, and incident response teams. Licensing is modular, with pricing by request; there is no free plan.
