Wiz Defend

Purpose: Wiz Defend provides real-time threat detection, investigation, and response across cloud environments, including AI applications.
Threat context: It combines runtime signals from the Wiz sensor, cloud and SaaS logs, and agentless risk context to investigate attack paths and potential blast radius.
Incident readiness: It maps telemetry to MITRE ATT&CK and identifies coverage gaps before an incident.
AI threat investigation: The Blue Agent automatically triages threats and provides an investigation and verdict for analyst review.
Response tools: Wiz Defend supports cloud-native containment playbooks, root-cause analysis, source-code remediation, and response automation through Wiz Workflows.
AI runtime protection: It detects AI-specific runtime threats such as prompt injection, model exfiltration, and MCP server attacks.
Sensor add-on: The Wiz Sensor add-on provides runtime workload protection and monitoring for VMs, containerized environments, and serverless containers.
Kubernetes protection: Runtime sensor capabilities include file integrity monitoring, drift detection, threat monitoring, and blocking on container hosts.
Integration: Wiz Defend integrates with Google Security Operations so analysts can investigate threats in either platform, with threat status, severity, and comments syncing between them in real time.
Pricing: Wiz publishes no fixed price for Wiz Defend on its pricing page and directs customers to request pricing; its licensing is modular and can be tailored to customer needs.
Security and compliance: Wiz says it has recertified to ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, and ISO 27701, and makes SOC 2 Type II plus HIPAA and SOC 3 reports available through its Customer Trust Center.
Intended teams: Wiz describes Wiz Defend as a cloud SecOps solution for SOC, threat intelligence, and incident response teams.
