Sweet Security vs Wiz Defend

Sweet Security is a cloud security platform focused on runtime protection for applications, workloads, infrastructure, and AI agents. Its Runtime CNAPP combines Cloud Detection and Response, Application Detection and Response, and Cloud Workload Protection, drawing on eBPF sensors and cloud logs. The platform also describes AI security spanning the model layer to agent execution, including an AI Gateway that analyzes agent traffic and policies that can block risky operations. Cloud posture features detect misconfigurations, prioritize risks, offer remediation guidance, and apply deployment guardrails. Incident storylines organize activity to help teams assess false positives and identify who should act; playbooks can guide manual or automatic termination of malicious processes. Sweet lists support for AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, private cloud, Kubernetes, Linux-based virtual machines, and Linux and Windows hosts. It is agent-based, with container, serverless, and Kubernetes protection. Automated checks can run against industry and custom compliance frameworks. Pricing is on request, and prospective customers are directed to request a demo.

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.
