Wiz
Cloud Workload Protection Platforms
The leading cloud infrastructure security platform that enables organizations to rapidly identify and remove the most pressing risks in the cloud. Wiz uses an agentless approach—a single API connector per cloud and Kubernetes environment to scan deep within every cloud resource. It analyzes your cloud stack, evaluating your cloud architecture and risk factors such as internet exposure, software and configuration vulnerabilities, identities, secrets, and malware. Wiz then performs a contextual analysis of this data using a cloud graph to identify the toxic combinations that make your cloud susceptible to a breach. Finally, Wiz delivers a cloud control workflow to enable security, DevOps, and engineering to focus on the highest risks and proactively harden your cloud environment so you can build fast and secure.

🚨 BREAKING--> Wiz Research identifies critical risks in #AI-as-a-service 🚨 The world has never seen a technology adopted at the pace of #AI, But as adoption skyrockets so do the security risks. Our recent collaboration with Hugging Face sheds light on these challenges and underscores the urgent need for industry-wide regulation and security standards. Our joint findings revealed that malicious models could pose a threat, granting attackers cross-tenant access to sensitive data. Specifically, our research uncovered two critical risks within Hugging Face's infrastructure: 🛡️ Shared inference infrastructure takeover risk. 🔒 Shared CI/CD takeover risk. But the implications extend beyond Hugging Face: As AI-as-a-service platforms become increasingly prevalent, ensuring robust security measures is paramount. Our collaboration with Hugging Face underscores the importance of industry partnerships in fortifying infrastructure against evolving threats. Huge kudos to Hugging Face for proactively implementing Wiz #CSPM and vulnerability scanning. Their commitment to annual penetration testing sets a new standard for #AIsecurity.
