Wiz ranks code risk by cloud context. CybeDefend checks it against your business rules.

Wiz built its name on cloud posture, and Wiz Code now scans repositories, IDEs, CI and, through plugins for Claude Code and Cursor, the AI agent itself at file save, commit and push. CybeDefend checks each change as the agent writes it, including against the business rules your team wrote.

What Wiz does well

Best-in-class CSPM and agentless cloud scanning, optional sensors for runtime security, a Security Graph with code-to-cloud mapping, Wiz Code (SAST, SCA, IaC and secrets in the IDE, pull requests, CI and AI agents), an AI-BOM for AI security posture, and a Red Agent that tests running apps for logic flaws.

Where it stops

Wiz Code's agent plugins scan at file save, commit and push, and can block a commit. Nothing Wiz announces checks a change against the business rules your team wrote or controls agent actions such as shell commands and file reads; central guardrails for agents are on its roadmap. Logic-flaw detection in code, Wiz AI SAST, is still in private preview. No free plan.

Where we win

Same code, different context

Wiz and CybeDefend now overlap on code scanning. Wiz's edge is context from the running cloud: which code reaches an exposed workload. CybeDefend's edge is context from your business: which change breaks a rule your team wrote. The two views complement each other.

IaC at write time

Wiz Code scans Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes and Docker files in repositories, in the IDE and in CI, and its agent plugins scan at save, commit and push. CybeDefend scans IaC inside the AI agent as each change is written, before any plan or apply, against known misconfigurations and your own rules.

Fixing at the source

Wiz maps cloud risks back to the repository, owner and line that created them, and its remediation agents can open pull requests. CybeDefend works one step earlier: it rewrites the unsafe line inside the agent before the pull request exists, so that issue never needs tracing back.

Claude Code is writingapi/users.ts

router.post("/api/users", async (req, res) => {
  const { id } = req.body;
  const user = await db.query(
    "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?", [id]
  );
  return res.json(user);
});

Parameterise every query that mixes user input.

Ready to merge

Wiz is strongest where code meets the running cloud. CybeDefend is strongest where code meets your business: it checks the agent's change against the rules your team wrote, before it is saved.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I use Wiz and CybeDefend together?

Yes, if you want both kinds of context. Wiz covers cloud posture, runtime and code with cloud context; CybeDefend covers the AI agent's changes as they are written, including business logic. If you already run Wiz Code, CybeDefend's main addition is the business-rule layer.

Does CybeDefend do CSPM?

No. CybeDefend focuses on code-level and agent-time security. For cloud posture management of deployed infrastructure, Wiz remains a leading choice.

How does pricing differ?

Wiz sells annual contracts. Its AWS Marketplace listing shows list prices, such as $24,000 a year for Wiz Essential on 100 cloud workloads and $58,500 a year for 100 Wiz Code licenses, and Wiz offers a trial or proof of concept but no free plan. CybeDefend Platform is free to self-host, its Cloud is billed monthly or yearly, and VibeDefend is free to try, then priced with you after a pilot.
