Wiz Defend
New York City, United States
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 help investigate attack paths and assess possible blast radius. Telemetry maps to MITRE ATT&CK, and the product identifies coverage gaps before incidents. The Blue Agent automatically triages threats and prepares an investigation and verdict for analyst review. Response tools include cloud-native containment playbooks, root-cause analysis, source-code remediation, and automation through Wiz Workflows. It detects AI runtime threats such as 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. Wiz Defend integrates with Google Security Operations, syncing threat status, severity, and comments in real time. It supports hybrid, multi-cloud environments. Licensing is modular and pricing is available by request; there is no free plan.
