Getting a grip on your cloud security posture with the SUE & Wiz dream team
Modern cloud environments are complex and vulnerable to risks like misconfigurations and limited visibility. SUE partners with Wiz to deliver full-stack cloud security, ensuring proactive risk management, continuous compliance, and optimized implementation. Together, they turn cloud security tools into strategic assets that protect your business and strengthen your security posture. Read more about the SUE and Wiz partnership in this blog post.
The modern cloud security challenge
Modern cloud environments are intricate ecosystems composed of a range of diverse cloud services, infrastructure components, and applications that require centralized oversight. As organizations scale, challenges arise like security blind spots, misconfigurations, and unaddressed vulnerabilities to name a few. To illustrate, it is estimated that over 79% of organizations now rely on multiple cloud services at a given time (source). Consequently, achieving complete control over cloud security is a challenge for many organizations.
With suboptimal security posture, these companies also inherently lack visibility into their full cloud environment, making it difficult to proactively manage risks and address these issues. With fragmented tools and evolving threats, maintaining visibility and proactive risk management requires a well-structured approach, rendering Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) an essential business practice. This is where SUE comes in. With expertise in cloud native solutions, SUE ensures that businesses can take control of their cloud security posture efficiently, eliminating complexity while maximizing effectiveness.
A key part of achieving this control is leveraging Wiz, a powerful platform offering centralized full-stack visibility, intelligent risk management, and continuous compliance monitoring. This way, one can adopt an approach of proactive prevention rather than just reactive risk response. However, while Wiz provides extensive capabilities, it requires the right strategy to be effective to its fullest potential. Without proper implementation, organizations risk inefficient setups, unnecessary complexity, and higher costs. SUE guarantees that a tailor-created solution is put together that will both suit your specific business needs to the finest detail, and maximize your return on investment in Wiz.
Why Wiz? The CSPM powerhouse
Wiz has quickly become the go-to security solution for cloud environments, trusted by over 45% of Fortune 500 companies (source) and recognized as the #1 CSPM tool by Gartner (source).
How did they achieve this? Traditional security tools rely on installing software within workloads, introducing performance overhead and operational friction. Wiz takes a different approach. Instead of agents, it leverages direct API integrations with cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP, and more) to perform agentless deep scanning. This allows it to analyze entire cloud environments, including compute instances, Kubernetes clusters, IAM policies, network configurations, and even serverless functions and containerized workloads, identifying misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and security risks without impacting performance.
Another one of Wiz’s differentiating core strengths in all this is its machine learning-driven risk assessment. Techniques like anomaly detection, risk scoring, and knowledge graphs are leveraged to intelligently prioritize risks and vulnerability events based on predicted business impact. For example, Wiz can correlate IAM misconfigurations with network exposure and privilege escalation risks, highlighting attack paths that could lead to critical data breaches. Instead of generating endless security alerts, Wiz automatically prioritizes the most urgent isSUEs, ensuring security teams focus on what truly matters rather than sifting through low-priority findings.
This granular risk assessment also extends to compliance automation. Businesses that need to adhere to frameworks like ISO 27001, GDPR, NIS2, SOC 2, and HIPAA (or others) can leverage Wiz to embed security policies. By embedding security policies into infrastructure as code configurations, it ensures that security also remains consistent across rapidly evolving cloud environments as time goes on, and that compliance drift is swiftly identified.
With this combination of broad visibility, deep risk intelligence, and automated security enforcement, Wiz helps organizations achieve continuous security and compliance without operational slowdowns.
Why Wiz + SUE? Turning security tools into business assets
While Wiz is a powerful CSPM tool, achieving meaningful security improvements requires proper implementation and long-term optimization. Many organizations struggle with deployment pitfalls, misconfigurations, and policy gaps, leading to an incomplete security posture. With over 23% of all cloud incidents being misconfiguration isSUEs and 82% of these misconfigurations stemming from human error (as opposed to software faults), this is where SUE adds value (source). Security solutions aren’t just about having the right tools—they need to be strategically integrated into your environment with the right expertise to be truly effective.
SUE ensures that Wiz is integrated with your corresponding cloud architecture. Beyond implementation, SUE also provides hands-on training for management, SecOps- and DevOps teams, empowering them to use Wiz effectively in day-to-day operations, for continued value after the initial integration is complete.
