Wiz Cloud Security Platform API
Wiz cloud security platform REST API for security and DevOps teams to manage cloud security posture, vulnerability management, and risk prioritization across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes with agentless scanning and graph-based attack path analysis. Enables AI agents to manage security issue retrieval and prioritization for cloud risk automation, handle vulnerability and misconfiguration tracking for remediation workflow automation, access cloud resource inventory and configuration assessment for compliance automation, retrieve attack path analysis and toxic combination detection for risk prioritization automation, manage policy and control configuration for security baseline automation, handle connector and cloud account management for multi-cloud inventory automation, access compliance framework reporting (SOC2, PCI, HIPAA, NIST) for GRC automation, retrieve secret detection and sensitive data exposure alerts for data security automation, manage CI/CD pipeline security integration for shift-left security automation, and integrate Wiz with Jira, Slack, PagerDuty, ServiceNow, and SIEM platforms for end-to-end cloud security workflow automation.

⚡ Reliability
Best When
A cloud security or DevSecOps team wanting AI agents to automate cloud security issue triage, attack path analysis, misconfiguration remediation routing, and compliance reporting across AWS, Azure, and GCP through Wiz's agentless cloud security platform.
Avoid When
AGENTLESS SCANNING WITH CLOUD ACCOUNT ACCESS REQUIRED: Wiz uses agentless scanning that requires read access to cloud accounts; automated security onboarding must provision appropriate IAM permissions for Wiz in each cloud account; insufficient cloud IAM permissions create incomplete scanning coverage without obvious error in scan results. SECURITY ISSUE VOLUME FOR AUTOMATED TRIAGE: New cloud accounts connecting to Wiz generate large initial issue volume as Wiz scans existing configuration; automated triage workflows must handle initial issue flood without false alarm escalation; implement severity threshold for automated escalation to avoid noise during initial cloud account onboarding. CRITICAL PATH FINDING vs INFORMATIONAL FINDING DISTINCTION: Wiz findings range from critical attack paths to low-severity informational items; automated remediation workflows must implement severity filtering; automated ticket creation for all Wiz findings without severity filtering creates engineering team ticket flood with low-signal noise.
Use Cases
- • Prioritizing cloud risks from security posture management agents
- • Remediating misconfigurations from DevSecOps automation agents
- • Mapping attack paths from cloud risk analysis agents
- • Generating compliance reports from GRC automation agents
Not For
- • On-premises server security (Wiz is cloud-native; use CrowdStrike or Tanium for on-prem)
- • Network security and firewall management (use Palo Alto Networks or Fortinet)
- • Endpoint detection and response (use CrowdStrike Falcon or SentinelOne)

Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ GRAPHQL API PRIMARY — REST IS SECONDARY: Wiz's primary API is GraphQL; some capabilities are only available via GraphQL and not REST endpoints; automated security workflows must use GraphQL for complex issue queries (attack paths, toxic combinations) and may fall back to REST for simpler operations; GraphQL query complexity scoring applies to all requests
- ⚠ SERVICE ACCOUNT OAUTH TOKEN ROTATION: Wiz OAuth uses service account credentials for machine-to-machine authentication; service account tokens require periodic rotation per security policy; automated security integration must implement token rotation workflow; expired service account tokens create authentication failures with access denial to all security data
- ⚠ ISSUE FILTER COMPLEXITY FOR AUTOMATED TRIAGE: Wiz issues support complex filtering (severity, resource type, cloud provider, compliance framework, project); automated triage must construct correct filter combination; overly broad automated filters return large result sets exceeding pagination page count; implement specific filter targeting for automated remediation routing
- ⚠ CLOUD ACCOUNT CONNECTOR STATUS FOR SCAN COVERAGE: Wiz cloud account connectors have health status; failed connector creates scanning gap for that cloud account; automated security coverage monitoring must verify connector health; automated compliance reporting without connector health check may produce incomplete compliance assessment without error
- ⚠ ATTACK PATH COMPLEXITY SCORING FOR PRIORITIZATION: Wiz attack path analysis identifies toxic combinations (e.g., public exposure + critical vulnerability + admin permissions); attack paths have complexity scores; automated prioritization must sort by attack path complexity and blast radius, not just individual issue severity; automated remediation queue sorted only by CVSS score misses high-impact attack paths with lower individual severity components
