Wiz was founded by CEO Assaf Rappaport, CTO Ami Luttwak, VP Product Yinon Costica, and VP R&D Roy Reznik. The team has worked together for over 20 years, including as Microsoft's Cloud Security Group leads and as the founding team of Adallom, which was acquired by Microsoft for $320 million.
Wiz scans every layer of the cloud to provide complete visibility, and uses its Security Graph's context to eliminate the noise and surface the risks that matter most. Customers can then quickly identify, prioritize and remove risks across their cloud.
This new approach to cloud security disrupts the agent-based security model and utilizes an agentless, API-centered approach to seamlessly scan cloud workloads. Wiz said goodbye to contextless alerts and, instead, at the heart of the product lies the Wiz Security Graph.
