When we think about Zero Trust security, we often focus on traditional network connections. But...
When Wiz's founding team left Microsoft in March 2020, they thought cloud security was solved. Two weeks later, as COVID hit, they wondered if they'd made a terrible mistake. That "mistake" has since transformed into one of cloud security's most compelling success stories.
In this TopShelfTech episode, Jeremy Nees sits down with Wiz co-founder, Yinon Costica, to unpack how a pandemic-era startup revolutionised cloud security. From their innovative security graph technology to their recent acquisitions, Costica shares key insights into Wiz's remarkable journey and vision.
Watch the full interview below to learn how Wiz is transforming traditional security approaches with AI-powered remediation and their innovative security graph technology, or continue reading for a quick recap.

The Power of Customer-Driven Innovation
What started as "Beyond Networks" evolved into Wiz through direct conversations with leading CISOs during the pandemic. These discussions revealed a crucial gap: while companies had tools to scan their cloud environment, they lacked a true understanding of their risks and architecture.
Zero Day Response: A New Security Paradigm
Wiz flips the script on vulnerability management. Instead of focusing on zero-day vulnerabilities, they enable zero-day response. When a new zero-day CVE hits, teams can immediately identify exposed instances, locate owners, and implement fixes – often before the day ends.
Unifying Cloud & Code
Wiz Code creates a direct line of sight between cloud vulnerabilities and their source code, dramatically accelerating remediation. This unified approach allows teams to fix issues at their root, cutting through manual processes that traditionally slow down security responses.
Strategic Growth Through Acquisition
Recent acquisitions of Gem Security and DAZZ strengthen Wiz's platform approach. Their security graph technology now provides a unified view across cloud architectures, identity, network, and vulnerability data, bringing unprecedented clarity to cloud security operations.
