Wiz Recognized as a Leader in the 2025 IDC MarketScape for CNAPP
We believe recognition in the IDC MarketScape for CNAPP reflects our commitment to innovation and customer success across cloud security.
The cloud security landscape is undergoing a major transformation. As organizations continue to scale in the cloud, they’re rethinking how to secure sprawling infrastructure, distributed identities, shifting workloads, and complex development pipelines. This shift is driving rapid adoption of a new category:Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPP).
We’re excited to share thatWiz has been named to the Leaders Category in the IDC MarketScape for Worldwide CNAPP 2025 vendor assessment, which assesses capabilities and strategic vision.
A big thank you toIDC and Senior Research Manager Phil Buesfor leading the way with this comprehensive assessment. The report offers timely guidance forsecurity leadersevaluating how to replace fragmented point tools with a unified, context-rich approach to cloud security.
IDC MarketScape vendor analysis model is designed to provide an overview of the competitive fitness of technology and suppliers in a given market. The research methodology utilizes a rigorous scoring methodology based on both qualitative and quantitative criteria that results in a single graphical illustration of each supplier’s position within a given market. The Capabilities score measures supplier product, go-to-market and business execution in the short-term. The Strategy score measures alignment of supplier strategies with customer requirements in a 3-5-year timeframe. Supplier market share is represented by the size of the icons.
According to the IDC Marketscape, "When selecting a cloud-native application protection platform vendor, it is essential to consider several factors beyond just vendor and tool consolidation. While reducing the number of vendors and tools can streamline operations, the primary drivers should include the platform's ability to integrate seamlessly with your existing security infrastructure and enhance your overall security posture."
This convergence is more than a trend. It reflects a deeper need forcollaboration across security, DevOps, and engineering—with shared visibility, unified policies, and scalable workflows that keep up with cloud speed.
Look for a solution that offers robust monitoring and reporting on cloud security posture, runtime, and application security. The goal is to select a platform based on its aggregate capabilities rather than merely reducing the vendor footprint.
Organizations adopting CNAPP are seeing real-world results. At Wiz, we’ve seen this firsthand: over50% of our customers now maintain zero critical issuesin their environments. This isn't just a security win—it’s an operational shift toward agility with confidence.
