Wiz is a Tel Aviv based, cloud risk visibility solution for enterprise security. It provides a 360° view of security risks across clouds, containers and workloads.
Microsoft Defender is very good while we are enhancing our organization's security, and it is very useful in getting threat alerts and vulnerabilities that can harm our system and users. It is recommended to use this to improve overall security and threat protection of our users and organization. With the help of Microsoft Defender, we get fully covered and secured.
Wiz has speculative and tremendous capability to present everything (vulnerabilities, cloud configuration gap, AWS cis benchmark) on single console and shows correlative graph and good reporting services. It is very easy to integrate with AWS accounts and can be easily on boarded. Also it has good inventory management and patch management console along with overall compliance status for each project.
detect and respond to security threats in the cloud environment, reducing the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access.
The product assists our organization dealing with sensitive data in achieving and maintaining compliance with data protection rules.
The product provides real-time visibility into the cloud environment, offering insights into ongoing security activities.
It guarantees that security teams can actively handle possible threats by delivering real-time monitoring and notifications, reducing the impact on business operations.
'Regulatory Compliance' is definitely an area of improvement for MDC. The complex and high number of controls within a specific framework should allow a more helpful and detailed guidelines in order to tackle them.
The limitation of options in the incident management menu of MDC has proven to be a hassle while managing security alerts. For example, an analyst cannot even provide a comment about the actions taken on an incident.
There is a missing functionality of connecting other EDR or XDR solutions to MDC which I think should be there for a CSPM tool.
It is a great product that integrates nicely when running an Azure platform and even multi-cloud environment. Not looking for point-solutions but a suite that answers most requirements. It is very comfortable being able to use KQL, workbooks and automation that is native to the azure platform
We used to use Symantec and McAfee. It's been mostly defenders since, gosh, the last eight to 10 years. So we're a small organization. We don't have a lot of folks, so single-painted glass is really important to be able to see the whole environment in a single place. And the Microsoft tooling gives us that.
Tenable.io and Qualys are good just for vulnerability management. Wiz has very good capability to show all issues on single console and also it has provision to show them in different dashboards in different category. It shows cloud configuration gap, AWS cis benchmark gap and vulnerability management along with good reporting service.
It simplifies security management and saves time. I'm not sure, but I'm very confident it saved me a couple of paychecks by centralizing the data I need to secure the cloud environment.
I also utilize the inventory overview to monitor my team's activities and verify they are following internal regulations, as well as cost overruns.
The recommendations can be utilized as a valuable instructional tool. I have the team explain why they are receiving them, why they are not following them, and what they are doing differently.
