Produces highly confidential alerts leading to minimal false positives
Pros and Cons
  • "The product's most valuable feature combines different contexts and attributes to produce highly confident alerts."
  • "They could improve the product's visibility in the internal network topology."

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use case for this solution is within our security team for monitoring purposes. We have integrated the solution with our cloud environments to establish notifications for security misconfigurations. These notifications create tickets for relevant teams to address the issues, and our security team ensures the tool works properly, assisting product teams with remediation and consulting on resolving the generated tickets.

What is most valuable?

The product's most valuable feature combines different contexts and attributes to produce highly confident alerts. It can detect issues based on factors like public exposure, network vulnerabilities, and privilege assignments, leading to minimal false positives and a low volume of alerts, which is highly valuable for our operations.

What needs improvement?

They could improve the product's visibility in the internal network topology. It focuses mainly on external risks, and additional visibility into internal network communication and cross-cloud or cloud-to-on-prem connectivity would be beneficial.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using Wiz for almost three years.

Provides simplicity, comprehensive findings, and impressive security graph
Pros and Cons
  • "Wiz offers greater visibility and more in-depth findings in terms of configuration, misconfiguration, and vulnerabilities."
  • "The APIs are currently quite limited and not very mature, which makes integration with Splunk difficult."

What is our primary use case?

We currently use Wiz for cloud security management to identify and address vulnerabilities in our AWS platforms. Wiz is also integrated with our EKS clusters, allowing us to monitor and manage cluster security. We deploy sensors across our infrastructure, from the base level to more advanced setups, to gather comprehensive vulnerability data. Additionally, Wiz helps us manage our inventory and images. We have integrated Wiz with our ECR to monitor and secure container images through the ECR connector.

How has it helped my organization?

Our main goal is to use Wiz as our secondary product. We aim to gather all logs and vulnerabilities and integrate them into our main tool, Splunk. Wiz helps us identify issues, but Splunk remains our primary solution. We forward all logs from Wiz to Splunk. The client, Vericore, uses Splunk as their main tool to gather data from third-party CSPM tools like Prisma and others, including DDoS detection. This integration allows us to generate reports and distribute them to other departments to address the identified vulnerabilities.

What is most valuable?

Wiz offers greater visibility and more in-depth findings in terms of configuration, misconfiguration, and vulnerabilities.

What needs improvement?

The APIs are currently quite limited and not very mature, which makes integration with Splunk difficult. As a result, we often have to use Wiz instead of our mainframe to handle tasks related to Splunk. We regularly meet with the Wiz team, who then consult their product team to find solutions and alternative methods for these tasks.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Wiz for six months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We don't have any issues with the scalability. 45-50 users are using this solution.

We have multiple departments, including product security and sales. We have development teams and other departments as well. For each senior and director in these departments, we have created users and provided them with access to Wiz. This allows them to gather reports from Wiz. Additionally, if they cannot get the reports from Wiz, they can use Splunk, with which we have integrated Wiz.

We have deployed Wiz in three organizations on AWS, each with approximately 70 to 80 accounts, totaling more than 120 accounts. We have also deployed Wiz in Microsoft environments, ensuring we can gather data from every platform.

How are customer service and support?

Support has been great. We have a dedicated channel with Wiz and are always in communication with them.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was very straightforward. We used the deployment connectors in Wiz. We deployed three connectors for our AWS environment, and each connector requires specific roles: Wiz rules and read-only roles. The deployment was done using the CloudFormation template through our management account, and we deployed the template to all the accounts in the organization.

The deployment took no more than 48 hours because it was done easily. However, the setup to get all the data from AWS into Wiz took about 24-48 hours.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We use Splunk for DDoS detection and the AWS Security Data Lake for micro detections. We use Wiz for cloud platform configuration. For threat detection, we rely on the AWS Security Data Lake and Splunk.

What other advice do I have?

We use Wiz to enhance our cloud security, and as a result, the number of vulnerabilities has gone down. We have integrated Jira authentication with Wiz to create tickets. We have set up rules in Wiz that generate tickets for misconfigurations. These tickets are sent to the respective departments that own the accounts with the identified vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. Our security team pushes these tickets to the relevant teams, enhancing security. 

Integration and deployment are relatively easy. However, we have encountered some incidents with Wiz in the past. As Wiz mentioned, some policies included in the connectors were flagging our production EBS in AWS. 

Maintenance is very easy.

I recommend Wiz for its simplicity, comprehensive findings, and impressive security graph. It provides excellent visibility, threat detection, and data classification rules. Additionally, Wiz offers more control compared to Prisma and other third-party tools.

Overall, I rate the solution at eight-point five out of ten.

Actually, one of my other teams in my company has good experience with the tool. I am in the first stage of exploring Wiz.

The tool is very powerful in nature.

It is easy to use the tool.

I recommend the tool to others since it is a user-friendly product.

I have started using the product for any AI-based projects. I am trying to switch over from exchange to security platforms.

I have not yet started using the AI features in the tool.

I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
