Wiz
Agentless cloud security platform that scans cloud environments for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and attack paths using a graph-based security model, with a GraphQL API for querying risk data.
Score Breakdown
⚙ Agent Friendliness
🔒 Security
Cloud security posture management (CSPM). Service account + client secret. Security platform credentials are high-value targets. Read-only for reporting vs admin for remediation — use minimal.
⚡ Reliability
Best When
Your organization has significant cloud infrastructure and needs agentless, graph-based cloud security posture management with a queryable API for automation.
Avoid When
You're a small team, don't have cloud infrastructure, or need endpoint-focused security rather than cloud posture management.
Use Cases
- • Querying cloud security issues and vulnerabilities for automated remediation workflows
- • Pulling security findings into ticketing systems and SOAR platforms via API
- • Building custom dashboards from Wiz's risk scoring and issue data
- • Automating security posture reports for compliance and audit workflows
- • Correlating Wiz findings with CI/CD pipelines for shift-left security
Not For
- • Endpoint security (Wiz is cloud-native, not endpoint-focused)
- • Organizations without cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure, etc.)
- • Small teams — pricing is enterprise-tier and requires sales engagement
- • Real-time threat detection requiring sub-second response (Wiz is periodic scanning)
Interface
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 client credentials flow. Service accounts created in Wiz portal with scoped permissions. Token endpoint varies by Wiz tenant region.
Pricing
Pricing is not public and requires a sales conversation. Often sold per cloud workload or resource count. No trial or free tier.
Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ API is GraphQL only — no REST alternative — agents must construct valid GraphQL queries
- ⚠ OAuth token endpoint URL varies by tenant data center — must be configured per deployment
- ⚠ Wiz data model uses a security graph — queries require understanding entity relationships
- ⚠ Finding data can be large — always paginate using cursor-based pagination and limit fields
- ⚠ Webhook payloads contain minimal data — must follow up with API call to get full issue details
