Used For

• +**Your vulnerability scanners flag 5,000 issues but you only have time to fix 50** → Wiz connects the dots and shows you the 12 that actually put customer data at risk
• +**Your containers are black boxes that could be mining Bitcoin for all you know** → Scans running workloads and catches malicious code or credential theft in real-time
• +**Someone deployed something sketchy and now your compliance audit is next week** → Auto-discovers every single cloud resource across all your accounts, even the ones developers forgot about
• +Agentless scanning - gets full visibility without installing software on every server
• +Links vulnerabilities to actual business impact - shows which bugs affect your payment system vs your test environment

Best For

• >Your security team is drowning in alerts and missing the stuff that actually matters
• >You're running containers and Kubernetes across multiple clouds and have no idea what's exposed
• >Hit enterprise scale where manual security checks take weeks and attackers need minutes

Not For

• -Small teams under 100 people or simple single-cloud setups — you're paying Ferrari prices to check your bicycle tire pressure
• -Companies wanting a security tool that just works out of the box — this needs weeks of policy tuning or you'll hate the noise
• -Anyone hoping to save money on security — starts at $100K+ and scales with your cloud spending

Pairs With

• *AWS/Azure/GCP (the actual clouds it's scanning for problems)
• *Jira (where all those prioritized security tickets end up for developers to actually fix)
• *Slack (where your team gets pinged when something critical is found instead of buried in email)
• *GitHub (scans your code before it goes live and catches problems at commit time)
• *Terraform (checks your infrastructure-as-code for misconfigurations before deployment)
• *ServiceNow (for enterprise teams who need formal incident tracking and compliance workflows)

The Catch

• !The initial setup dumps 500+ alerts per day until you spend 20-30 hours tuning policies to filter out the noise
• !Requires someone who actually understands Kubernetes and cloud permissions — not something your intern can manage
• !Custom pricing means you won't know the real cost until you're already invested in demos and POCs

Bottom Line

Finally, a security tool that prioritizes the stuff that'll actually get you hacked instead of crying wolf about everything.
