When AI Becomes the Heart of Security: Powering a Future You Can Trust
Helping teams see clearly, decide wisely, and move safely.
Security is at an inflection point. Development cycles have accelerated from months to minutes. Cloud environments evolve continuously. And now, AI is accelerating everything—from how we build, to how we operate, to how we defend.
Across every organization, three forces are reshaping security in real time:
AI is changing how we build.Teams are embedding AI into products and workflows, introducing new technologies that reshape how code, data, and infrastructure must be secured.
AI is changing how we’re attacked.Threat actors are using it to find and exploit weaknesses faster than ever before.
AI must also change how we defend.Security teams are under pressure to match that speed, to do more with less, and to respond with intelligence—not just automation.
At Wiz, we believe the only way to stay ahead is to make security as dynamic and intelligent as the environments it protects. When applied with intent, AI amplifies human expertise—turning complexity into clarity and enabling teams to stay ahead of every risk, not chase it.
AI in Wiz adds a dynamic layer ofknowledgeto theSecurity Graph— continuously interpreting the relationships between data, identities, and workloads to surface what matters most. It builds on the Graph’s deep understanding of your environment to reason, explain, and recommend with precision.
Every great AI system starts with one thing — great data. Without it, even the most advanced models produce noise instead of insight.
That’s why theWiz Security Graphhas always been our foundation. It unifies and normalizes signals across every layer of the cloud — identities, workloads, configurations, and data — while incorporating runtime signals and code-to-cloud lineage to map how they all connect. This model isn’t just data collection; it’s context creation. It captures how resources interact, who owns them, and what each relationship means for development and security teams.
Because AI is only as powerful as the data and knowledge bases available to it, the Graph gives security a unique advantage: clean, connected, and explainable data that fuels accurate modeling and intelligent reasoning. For security teams, that translates into faster time to insight, less manual correlation, and higher confidence in every decision. You don’t just get more information—you getbetterinformation, ready to act on.
If we rebuilt Wiz today in an AI-first world, we’d build itexactlythe same way. The Graph has always been the heart of our platform — now it’s the engine powering a new generation of trusted, intelligent security.
AI earns trust when it can be explained. In security, explainability isn’t optional—it’s essential for building workflows with developers and the business. Teams need to understandwhya decision was made before they can act on it confidently.
That’s why transparency is at the core of Wiz AI. Every recommendation, correlation, or prioritization is backed by clear reasoning: what data points were connected, why they matter, and how they influence the outcome. Wiz reinforces this through documentation like ourGenerative AI PrinciplesandHow Ask AI Works,which outlines the purpose and logic behind each AI feature. Within the platform, users can explore contextual insights, review supporting evidence, ask Mika AI to explain findings, and receiveAI-driven remediationguidance that clearly communicates the “why” and “how” behind every fix.
This focus on visibility and validation ensures AI doesn’t just automate—it informs. It builds confidence, creates accountability, and transforms AI from a black box into a trusted teammate. Because in security, speed only matters when you trust where it’s taking you.
At Wiz, we’re building AI that acts as a force multiplier—turning understanding into action. It connects every risk to its owner, impact, and resolution path, enabling teams to respond with clarity and speed.
Our specializedAI Agentsspan the full security lifecycle—from code and build pipelines to cloud and runtime—bringing intelligence that fits naturally into how teams already work.
Each Agent draws from the Wiz Security Graph, combining deep context with explainable reasoning and trustworthy oversight to deliver outcomes that matter—not just automation for automation’s sake.
Eliminate risk before it materializes. Risk Agents continuously connect insights across code, cloud, and runtime to reveal where vulnerabilities truly matter. They go beyond detection todrive resolution— completing investigations, evaluating remediation paths, and selecting the most efficient fix for your environment. They can initiate actions when appropriate, performroot cause analysis, eliminate exposure, and identify or suggest the right owners to act.They enable what we call the “Zero Critical Club” — helping teams focus only on issues that impact the business, cutting noise and accelerating remediation through intelligent, explainable action.
Wiz streamlines investigation, reducing analyst load and ensuring only critical incidents rise to the top.Threat Agents automatically triage alerts at scale — validating severity, correlatingattack paths, and providing an explainable report your SOC can trust. The result: rapid, transparent investigation that empowers humans to act with confidence.
Together, these Agents form a continuous security loop — preventive, proactive, and reactive — all powered by one unified understanding of your environment.Because in a world of infinite tools, the smartest AI is the one that shapes itself around you.
Today, that vision comes to life with the first set ofWiz AI Agents— theIssues AgentandSecOps Agent.
TheIssues Agentaccelerates proactive remediation by automatically connecting findings, ownership, and context to chart the most efficient path toward zero criticals.
TheSecOps Agenttransforms investigation speed and clarity, correlating alerts, workloads, and data into transparent, explainable incident reports your team can act on instantly.
Your code is where innovation begins—and where security should too.Wiz Code’sAI helps teams catch and fix risks early in development.Coming soon, Code Agents will automatically triage findings, filter false positives, and provide confidence scores AppSec teams can trust. They also suggest secure fixes directly in pull requests so developers can take action fast. Powered by the Wiz Security Graph’s deep code-to-cloud context, Code Agents continuously turn findings into fixes, helping developers stay in the flow and build securely by design.
As AI becomes the heart of security, every organization will use it — but not every AI will be worth trusting. Speed, scale, and sophistication matter far less than thequalityof the intelligence guiding them.
That’s why Wiz is built on data from the start. The trusted data, transparency, and actionability are the principles behind everything we create — and the reason our AI helps teams move faster with confidence. When intelligence is built on quality, it doesn’t just automate, it amplifies humans. It brings accuracy in every insight and flexibility in how it adapts, turning complexity into progress and helping teams scale their impact with trust at every step.
