Ehsan's Growth Take

Wiz did something remarkable: it made cloud security understandable to non-security people. The security graph shows your CEO exactly how an internet-exposed S3 bucket connects to your production database through three misconfigured IAM roles. That visualization alone is worth the price of admission. Google tried to acquire Wiz for $23 billion — which tells you everything about where cloud security is heading. The knock on Wiz is price, but the companies paying $100K+ annually report finding critical attack paths in the first scan that had been invisible for years. If you run anything serious in the cloud, evaluate Wiz before anyone else.
