CLOUD COMPUTING
Cloud-based infrastructures promise enterprises huge benefits – from on-demand resources to global scalability and embedded resilience. However, layering security effectively across these shifting environments has proven a challenge. For fast-rising cloud security startup Wiz – which was acquired by Google’ s parent company, Alphabet, for US $ 32bn in March 2025 – the mission is clear: provide total visibility into all risks, without adding complexity.
Despite only being founded in 2020, Wiz has quickly become one of the world’ s most in-demand cybersecurity providers, offering an agentless, graphbased cloud-native application protection platform( CNAPP). Companies deploying Wiz gain the ability to instantly scan their cloud environments – whether virtual machines, containers or serverless services – and visualise attack paths that connect seemingly minor misconfigurations into major risks.
“ With the Wiz Security Graph, we provide full visibility and context into every cloud resource and the relationships between them to uncover the toxic combinations of risk that create attack paths in your cloud,” says Oron Noah, Director of Product Management at Wiz.
