Cloud Computing Security Features
Comparison of Cloud Computing Security Features features of Product A and Product B
The sell key was for my company the monitoring all outgoing data and between each cloud provider which we use from all departments which keeps their data in a cloud environment. We could apply specific rules for monitoring and DPL on all traffic, which was the key feature that we were missing in the cloud solution. Also, they provide security features like intrusion prevention, antimalware, and full-path URL filtering, which are nice to have. Applying all at the start can be really time consuming but for the time we spent and how the solution help us to prevent data leave our company it was for sure worth it.
Wiz is well-suited if you want to run real-time scans against resources that were recently patched or configured. It is good to keep track of vulnerabilities found and what can be done to resolve the issues without having to open up multiple tabs. Overall, it is good to keep an eye on how well cloud teams or cloud security teams are doing.
DLP monitoring - key item for us which helps to view if anything which should leave our environment our or even between each part of network between/inside specific clouds
Segmentation of subnet, basic but helpful to isolate each host into their own part of single subnet and connect them, including all visibility features which are offered by Cisco defense systems
Allow/deny rules helps us to block, monitor and logs traffic passing in each direction of our environment
Getting started with Wiz was quick and painless. The onboarding process was well-structured, and their team provided solid support to help us integrate Wiz into our cloud environments with minimal effort. Documentation is clear, and their customer success team is always on hand to help with any questions, making the adoption process seamless
One of Wiz’s biggest strengths is how clearly it presents security risks. It provides a well organised view of issues, making it easy to see where action is needed. The AI-powered Remediation Wizard is a great feature, offering guided fixes and automation options that speed up resolution, reducing the time spent manually investigating and fixing issues.
The Wiz interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, which is a big plus when dealing with complex environments. Everything is laid out in a way that makes it simple to drill down into issues
Wiz scanning doesn't detect risks in real time. New sensors are now included and these capabilities are growing. I believe that within a year Wiz will get good real time capabilities
Wiz can generate a lot of alerts, which can be overwhelming, especially if you have a very dynamic environment. It's important to set up filters so that you only receive alerts for the risks that are most important to you.
Wiz can improve the way it augments the vulnerability data with additional data on Technologies. It sometimes has missing technologies but updated its inventory as soon as we opened a case on that.
The UI is very user-friendly, with documentation available on every page of the application. New users can learn about the product features as they navigate through several different pages, using the instructions at the top of each page, making it quite easy to use.
The ease of use, analytics, and just overall security feature set of Cisco Multicloud Defense is hard to beat. Their product is very intriguing and quite a bit similar. However, I have learned from past experiences that you get what you pay for. Cisco may be a little more pricy but it is worth it.
Prior to Wiz, I have used mostly AWS security services such as security HUB for CSPM and GuardDuty for threat intel. Although these services are great, it makes it hard to centralize this information in a multi-cloud deployment. It is understandable that AWS native services may provide more info and realtime security analysis of its services, but does not scale well with a growing organization looking to leverage amazing tools from other CSPs. Wiz may not have real time analysis or the most relevant vulnerability findings for cloud platforms compared to their native solutions, but Wiz scales extremely well, which in cases is a more valuable asset.
We haven't completed a full rollout yet, but the goal is to shift left security to all of our product teams so that security is a shared effort across the organization.
We want to be able to demonstrate fast remediations, corrective action plans with tangibles from Wiz in response to audits or red team findings.
We would like to also use information from Wiz to substantiate answers to security questionnaires that customers requires us to fill out in order to do business with them.
