Wiz helps organizations uncover and remediate high-severity risks in cloud environments without overwhelming teams with excessive alerts. The platform streamlines security with a proactive approach, ensuring businesses can innovate securely.
Cloud security involves safeguarding cloud systems, data, and infrastructure through policies, controls, and technologies. It is a shared responsibility between cloud providers and customers to ensure robust protection.
Cloud computing relies on service and deployment models:
- SaaS (Software as a Service): Fully managed applications (e.g., Google Workspace, Salesforce).
- PaaS (Platform as a Service): Platforms for app development (e.g., Azure App Service, Heroku).
- IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service): Full control over virtual infrastructure (e.g., Amazon EC2, Google Compute Engine).
- Public Cloud: Shared, scalable resources for multiple users.
- Private Cloud: Dedicated resources for a single organization.
- Hybrid Cloud: Combines public and private cloud features for flexibility.
Effective cloud security is achieved through key pillars:
- Identity and Access Management (IAM): Ensures authorized access with multi-factor authentication.
- Infrastructure Protection: Secures networks, endpoints, and virtual machines.
- Data Protection: Encrypts data and prevents breaches using tokenization.
- Detection Controls: Monitors suspicious activity with real-time alerts.
- Incident Response: Enables swift recovery through predefined response plans.
- Protection Against Evolving Threats: Safeguards sensitive data with encryption and intrusion detection.
- Business Continuity: Ensures data backup and disaster recovery, minimizing downtime.
- Compliance: Meets regulatory standards like GDPR and HIPAA for secure operations.
- Cost Efficiency: Reduces on-premise hardware needs and optimizes processes.
- Shared Responsibility: Enhances combined efforts of providers and customers.
- Insecure APIs
- Multi-tenancy vulnerabilities
