Beyond the Badge: What Achieving Microsoft’s Certified Software Designation Means for Your Cloud Security

Verified by Microsoft. Built for Azure. Secured by Wiz.

Wiz has officially earned theMicrosoft Solutions Partner with certified softwaredesignation for Azure. This milestone proves that our security-first architecture meets Microsoft’s highest standards for cloud-native solutions and reflects our continued investment in security from code to cloud to runtime, ensuring Azure customers can innovate without compromising on security.

This isn’t just another badge for our website. It’s a rigorous, third-party validation from Microsoft that Wiz doesn’t just run on Azure; it thrives there.

Wiz was built with multiple clouds, including Azure, in mind. That means we understand both how Azure environments are structured as well as how Azure cloud teams operate day to day.

Wiz connects to your Azure environmentvia a seamless, agentless API and scans every layer of your stack, from virtual machines and serverless functions to Entra ID and sensitive data in Blob Storage. By mapping your entire Azure architecture onto the Wiz Security Graph, with the option to show it alongside other cloud, on-prem, and AI environments, you can easily see how something like a minor misconfiguration in an Azure Network Security Group could create a direct path to a crown jewel database.

With Azure’s native scale and Wiz’s deep visibility, security teams can focus on the things that matter in production. And depending on your deployment, Wiz can integrate with common Azure services and workflows such as:

Microsoft Entra ID for identity context and access alignment

Azure Resource Manager (ARM) / Azure APIs to understand resource configuration and relationships

Azure Policy and governance controls to support guardrails and standards

Azure Data Explorer (ADX) for operational visibility

Microsoft 365

Microsoft Sentinel for investigation and detection workflows

That means security teams gain the benefit of identity-driven access that aligns to Azure AD / Microsoft Entra ID patterns, subscription and tenant scale (including centralized governance and distributed ownership), as well as operational workflows that support security, compliance, and engineering teams, not just one function.

Our goal is simple: help customers adopt Azure securely and run it efficiently, without adding friction.

Azure environments move fast: adding new services, new configurations, new identity and network patterns, new operational requirements, and more. As that complexity grows, security teams need solutions that integrate cleanly with Azure, support repeatable, secure deployments across subscriptions, management groups, and tenants, and also that fit procurement and adoption workflows that organizations already use for Microsoft-aligned solutions.

The certified software designation reinforces our commitment to making Wiz a dependable part of the Azure ecosystem. These designations are intended to recognize software solutions that meet program expectations across three themes:

Interoperability:the solution works with Azure in a way that supports common customer architectures and patterns such as the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework

Technical validation: the solution has completed program-aligned technical review requirements for the Azure solution area including a Well Architected Framework Review

Customer success: there is evidence of real-world customer adoption and outcomes via the Azure Marketplace

In other words: It’s not just a logo. It’s the framework Microsoft uses to help customers identify solutions that are designed to work well in the Microsoft Cloud.

One of the quiet advantages of Microsoft-aligned programs is that they reflect how many enterprises already buy and operationalize technology. In practical terms, this can support:

Easier internal alignment when security, cloud, and procurement teams require Microsoft ecosystem assurances

Simplified evaluation for teams standardizing on Azure reference architectures

Clearer adoption paths for customers using Microsoft commercial marketplace or partner-led procurement motions (where applicable)

Whether you’ve standardized on Azure or operate in a multi-cloud posture, Wiz is designed to support your journey. Find Wiz on theAzure Marketplaceand theMicrosoft Security Store.

LiteLLM is the latest victim of TeamPCP’s open-source attack spree. Malicious versions 1.82.7 and 1.82.8 abuse Python’s .pth mechanism for stealthy persistence. The malware exfiltrates cloud credentials, CI/CD secrets, and keys to attacker-controlled domains.
