Improves confidential data protection but needs improved efficiency in encryption algorithms

I have private data and want to prevent others, including Microsoft, from seeing it, I have control. By setting up a landing zone for sovereignty, the data is stored in MCFS landing zones. This data is encrypted in use, at rest, and in transit. While the data is in use, no third-party user or Microsoft can view, capture, or read it. These landing zones are for specific customers. When I enter an MCFS zone, my data remains strictly confidential, and unauthorized users cannot see it. This is the basic principle. Confidential computing is used for data in use. There are three types of data: in-use, in-transit, and at-rest data. At rest means the stored data is encrypted. In-use data means when the data is in memory, it remains confidential to other users, cloud users, or hackers, preventing data leakage or hacking. None can capture my data. Confidential computing involves data in use. This serves as a reference architecture, not just a unique service. Compliance and governance are core concepts of sovereignty. Sovereignty combines compliance rules with local compliance regulations. Each country can develop its compliance rules and integrate them into Azure. Globally, countries have developed their compliance rules and sovereignty compliance packs for Azure. For example, GDPR is implemented in some countries. In Turkey, there is a regulation named Kaveh Kaka. In Italy, there are specific data classification and compliance rules. They package their computing and compliance rules for Azure, allowing access to Italian compliance rules in Azure. If I implement Microsoft Cloud for Sovereignty landing zones, I see specialized and customized computing packages.

Improved our security posture thanks to comprehensive visibility

I have contacted Wiz technical support frequently. The support is excellent. We contact via an in-application portal. We can see the support cases we personally open, and also the cases that other people have opened from our company. I appreciate that feature. Generally, support gets back to us within a few days with a good answer. There was one fellow in particular who has been knocking it out of the park. He is a great support person to deal with. We are happy with the support experience. If I were to put Wiz support on a scale from one to ten, I would give them a ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"When I enter an MCFS zone, my data remains strictly confidential, and unauthorized users cannot see it."

"The benefit of Microsoft Cloud for sovereignty is boundless."

"If anyone wants to secure their infrastructure, cloud environment, or Kubernetes cluster, I would strongly recommend Wiz as a tool because it is easy to use and user-friendly."

"Wiz positively impacts my organization, especially since we are in the insurance sector where data security is paramount."

"Wiz distinguished itself immediately in the PoC, surfacing important issues that were entirely missed by both the products we were already using and other CNAPP's that we tested."

"A valuable feature is that Wiz helps in identifying vulnerabilities."

"Wiz gives a very good insight into how secure your software and code are and is quite good at consolidating the scanning results."

"One of the things that Wiz has done well is that there are no agents for the CSPM, at least from what we are doing, and it is very easy to roll out, easy to configure, maintain, and generally it does what it says it does with few issues."

"What I appreciate most about Wiz is that the compliance and CSPM aspects of this cloud-native application protection offering are genuinely better than other products available in the market."

"I have found that Wiz covers all the stages of the software development life cycle; it covers application or code security, DevOps security, and runtime security, and it is a full-fledged CNAPP solution where all the areas within the development and the deployment side are covered."

Cons

"Scientists are still working to improve the efficiency and latency of data in use algorithms."

"There is an improvement area for data in use. It is still a research subject globally."

"One significant area for improvement would be increasing automation. While they excel at identifying issues, we need assistance in minimizing the human hours required for tasks."

"FinOps is an area where Wiz needs enhancement."

"The only small pain point has been around some of the logging integrations. Some of the complexities of the script integrations aren't supported with some of the more automated infrastructure components. So, it's not as universal. For example, they have great support for cloud formation and other services, but if you're using another type of management utility or governance language for your infrastructure-as-code automation components, it becomes a little bit trickier to navigate that."

"We are still analyzing its behavior as we are in the midst of the implementation."

"As for stability, we have seen some issues where our results changed radically from one day to the next, but we had not made radical changes, so we opened a case with support."

"Wiz can be improved with better maturity in code scanning and developer workflows, expanding secret detection to full lifecycle management, stronger IAM across multi-account environments, more transparent attack path scoring and risk modeling, improved AI and ML security scanning, reduced false positives in runtime threat detection, more fine-grained access control and tenant separation, and better integration for serverless workloads."

"The reporting should be improved because until a few months ago, the reports were only in CSV format, which made it difficult to clean up. Wiz tried to improve the reporting process, but it's not as valuable as Tenable."

"We're looking at some of the data compliance stuff that they've got Jon offer. I know they're looking at container security, which we gonna be looking at next."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The pricing seems pretty simple. We don't have to do a lot of calculations to figure out what the components are. They do it by enabling specific features, either basics or advanced, which makes it easy to select."

"Based on the features and capabilities, the product pricing seems reasonable."

"If one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the tool's price as a five out of ten."

"The pricing is fair and comparable to their competitors. The cost seems to be going up, which is a concern. There are potential savings from consolidating tools, but we're uncertain how Wiz's pricing will change over time."

"The pricing is fair. Some of the more advanced features and functionalities and how the tiers are split can be somewhat confusing."

"Regarding pricing, it’s more than $100k because we have a very big infrastructure. Our environment supports around three thousand people, and we offer business-to-client financial services to around one million clients, so we rely heavily on Wiz."

"I wish the pricing was more transparent."

"Wiz is a moderately priced solution, where it is neither cheap nor costly."
