Wiz sees your cloud. CybeDefend sees your code.
Wiz is the gold standard for cloud posture management. It operates after your infrastructure is deployed. CybeDefend catches the vulnerability in the AI agent that wrote the Terraform file.
What Wiz does well
Best-in-class CSPM, agentless cloud scanning, container runtime security, excellent cloud topology visualization, strong CNAPP story.
But:
Not a code security tool. No SAST, SCA, or business-logic detection. No MCP integration. No IDE copilot. Wiz operates on deployed infrastructure; CybeDefend operates before the first commit.

Complementary, not competing
Wiz and CybeDefend operate at different layers. Wiz scans your running cloud for posture issues, misconfigurations, and runtime threats. CybeDefend enforces security policy inside the AI agents writing the code that eventually becomes that infrastructure. Together they form a complete shift-left story.
When IaC matters most
Wiz scans deployed Terraform and Kubernetes manifests as part of its CSPM. CybeDefend scans IaC inside the AI agent as it's being written — before any plan or apply. The shift from 'detect in cloud' to 'prevent in agent' is the core value proposition.
Agent writes code

PR opens clean
From cloud alert to code-level auto-fix
Wiz surfaces misconfigurations in your cloud environment. CybeDefend traces them back to the exact line of IaC or application code that created them — and rewrites it before the PR is opened. One loop closed, not just one alert sent.
Wiz tells you your cloud is misconfigured after deployment. CybeDefend prevents the AI agent from writing the misconfiguration.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use Wiz and CybeDefend together?
Yes — they cover different attack surfaces. Wiz operates on deployed cloud resources (runtime, posture, CWPP). CybeDefend operates on code and AI agent output (SAST, SCA, IaC, secrets, business logic at generation time). Organisations using Wiz still need a code-level security layer.
Does CybeDefend do CSPM?
No. CybeDefend focuses on code-level and agent-time security. For cloud posture management of deployed infrastructure, Wiz remains the leading choice.
How does pricing differ?
Wiz is exclusively enterprise-priced with no public rate card and no free tier. CybeDefend offers transparent per-seat pricing — no enterprise contract required.
