Wiz provides a comprehensive cloud native security platform that offers unified visibility and risk reduction across multi-cloud environments. The company's core offering scans cloud infrastructure to identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and threats, providing security teams with a clear understanding of their attack surface. This includes their hardened Linux distribution, WizOS, designed to secure cloud infrastructure and applications.
Wiz was founded in 2020 by Assaf Rappaport, Ami Luttwak, Yinon Costica, and Roy Reznik, a team with a strong background in cybersecurity, having previously co-founded Adallom, which was acquired by Microsoft. Their collective insight stemmed from recognizing the escalating complexity and inherent security challenges within rapidly expanding cloud ecosystems, leading them to build a platform that simplifies cloud security for enterprises.
The platform serves large enterprises seeking to secure their extensive multi-cloud deployments, enabling them to gain continuous oversight and control over their cloud environments. Wiz's long-term vision is to establish a foundational and unified security layer for all cloud operations, empowering organizations to build and innovate securely at scale.

Wiz is a cloud security platform that provides agentless scanning, risk prioritization, and real-time threat detection across multi-cloud environments like AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, and Kubernetes.[1][2][4][6] It serves security and development teams at enterprises such as Morgan Stanley, BMW, Colgate-Palmolive, and LVMH, solving the problem of complex cloud visibility by identifying vulnerabilities, toxic combinations, and attack paths with minimal operational overhead.[1][4][6][7] Wiz has achieved explosive growth, becoming the fastest software company to reach $500M in revenue and protecting over 5 million cloud workloads.[1][7][9]
The platform covers the full lifecycle—from code-to-cloud mapping, deployment posture, to runtime security via products like Wiz Cloud and Wiz Defend—enabling faster remediation and dev-sec collaboration.[1][4]
Wiz was founded in January 2020 by Assaf Rappaport (CEO), Yinon Costica (VP Product), Roy Reznik (VP Engineering), and Ami Luttwak (CTO), all veterans from the successful cloud security startup Adallom, which they previously built together.[2] The idea emerged from recognizing gaps in cloud visibility and security amid the rapid shift to multi-cloud infrastructures, prompting them to pioneer graph-based solutions for better risk prioritization over traditional tools.[1][2]
Early traction was swift: Wiz hit $100M ARR in just 18 months by August 2022, leveraging agentless scanning and developer-friendly UX to win enterprise customers quickly.[1][9]
Wiz rides the multi-cloud boom and rising cyber threats in hybrid environments, where traditional security tools struggle with visibility and speed.[1][4][6] Timing is ideal post-2020 cloud acceleration, as enterprises demand agentless, scalable solutions amid Kubernetes/container proliferation and regulations for sensitive data.[2][4][7] Market forces like zero-trust mandates and dev-sec shifts favor Wiz's graph-native approach, enabling it to influence the ecosystem by setting standards in CNAPP/CSPM and hardening supply chains via tools like WizOS.[1][3][5][6]
Wiz is poised to race toward $1B ARR, expanding WizOS to customers and deepening runtime/AI-driven defenses amid escalating cloud attacks.[1][3][5] Trends like secure software supply chains and multi-cloud governance will propel it, potentially evolving its influence through ecosystem integrations and broader platform dominance. This graph-powered pioneer continues transforming cloud security from reactive to proactive, securing the modern cloud era it helped define.[1][6]
