Wiz sensor
The Wiz Sensor is your runtime protection Swiss army knife — scanning workloads for risks, validating them at runtime, observing what’s really happening in production, and stopping active attacks before they spread.
Combining runtime and agentless approaches delivers a security solution specifically designed for cloud environments, offering complete workload security, advanced threat detection, real-time blocking, cloud threat hunting, and runtime forensic collection.
Ensure consistent runtime protection no matter where your workloads run, across private, hybrid , and multi-cloud. Leverage agentless inventory to continuously map sensor coverage to your environment and identify protection gaps.
The lightweight, eBPF-based sensor is purpose-built for cloud environments, offering negligible performance impact and a kernel-safe architecture. This design gives security teams deep runtime protection without introducing risk to the workload from the agent or sensor itself.
The sensor blocks sophisticated cloud threats in real time and monitors or prevents suspicious activities such as file integrity changes, image drift, log tampering, network scanning, and malicious IOCs, ensuring critical resources remain secure.
While others rely on agents, Wiz takes an agentless-first approach for complete coverage and unlimited scale. The Wiz Sensor extends visibility into runtime, detects and stops threats in real time, and delivers deep execution context, giving security teams a unified cloud security solution across all environments.
Reduce time spent chasing down alerts. Block vulnerabilities in code. Prioritize critical attack paths in the cloud. Focus on the vulnerabilities validated in runtime with the Runtime Sensor.
Agentless vulnerability scans ensure complete coverage across any cloud environment, while the sensor identifies vulnerabilities active in memory, greatly improving issue prioritization. Correlate back to code to remediate at the root.
Detect and block breaches early, expose security gaps, and meet compliance requirements with the speed and depth of runtime FIM, combined with the comprehensive coverage of agentless FIM using predefined or custom unified policies.
Detect and respond in realtime on the host. Create custom threat detection rules and use predefined rules to block complex threats, malware, unwanted behaviors, suspicious activity, malicious processes and more.
Leverage runtime behavioral baselines to detect anomalies and reduce detection noise. Correlate runtime events with control plane, data, identity, network, and PaaS events. Reduce investigation time with runtime forensic data and respond immediately at the control plane or workload level.
Collect, retain, and hunt across runtime events. The sensor captures execution data and full process tree information for every protected host, regardless of how short-lived, helping teams proactively identify IOCs and streamline investigations.
“ There was no technology in the industry that could provide the level of detail that Wiz does. ”
“ Because of Wiz, we’ve been able to democratize our approach to cybersecurity. Protecting our infrastructure is no longer concentrated in one team; the responsibility is distributed across the organization. ”
“ IT security governance has traditionally been somebody saying "You have to fix these vulnerabilities." Now, people can look up and say, "This is the attack path, and this is what I should do." ”
“ This new depth and breadth of visibility really made us pay attention. We were able to scan tenants and find new critical issues very quickly. ”
“ I'm a doctor, I take care of people, I was trained in preventative medicine. Wiz is like preventative medicine for us. ”
