Cloud security firm Wiz Inc. today announced the launch of Wiz Code, a new product designed to secure every stage of the product lifecycle.
Based on technology from Raftt, a cybersecurity firm acquired by Wiz in December, Wiz Code has been natively built within Wiz’s Cloud National Application Protection Platform with an aim to bring security and development teams closer together by ensuring cloud risks are identified and fixed directly in code before they escalate into critical issues.
The solution leverages deep cloud and runtime context to enable price risk prioritization and suggest the right fix to the correct developer. The result, according to Wiz, is a better security posture and improved collaboration between teams that allows organizations to ship secure code faster and with greater confidence.
Wiz Code integrates with developer environments and traces cloud issues back to their source in the code to generate a complete attack path from cloud to code and back. The service identifies critical issues in code and the continuous integration and continuous delivery pipeline and provides fix suggestions within the developer’s tools, all while integrating into the various stages of the development lifecycle and meeting developers wherever they are.
While only becoming generally available today, Wiz Code has been tested and the results are claimed by Wiz to have been positive.
“Extending our coverage from the first line of code to runtime has already helped our customers in preview transform their AppSec and DevSecOps programs,” Yinon Costica, co-founder and vice president of Product with Wiz, wrote in a blog post. “Now, every other organization can secure their cloud-native applications at every stage of development, protecting their code, CI/CD systems, and infrastructure in one unified platform.”
Costica added that “the results are immediate: better security posture for your code and cloud, faster remediation of security issues, and improved developer productivity.”
Wiz was previously in the news in July when it reportedly ended acquisition talks with Google LLC. According to reports at the time, Google was offering as much as $23 billion to acquire Wiz, with Wiz instead deciding to pursue an initial public offering.
