Wiz Kubernetes Security

Wiz Kubernetes Security is a specialized, agentless container and orchestration security capability within the Wiz Cloud Security Platform, engineered to protect Kubernetes clusters, pods, and containerized workloads across multi-cloud and on-premises environments. It delivers end-to-end visibility into Kubernetes architecture, cluster configurations, admission controls, and runtime workloads to prevent compromise and enforce security baselines.

The platform integrates directly with Kubernetes control planes and cloud-managed services including Amazon EKS, Azure AKS, and Google GKE, scanning nodes, pods, and container registries agentlessly via cloud APIs. It connects with Kubernetes admission controllers, developer CI/CD pipelines, and enterprise SIEM/SOAR platforms to automate security policy enforcement and audit reporting. Standard operational use cases include auditing Kubernetes cluster configurations against CIS Kubernetes Benchmarks, identifying overly permissive RBAC roles and service accounts, detecting vulnerable container images running in production pods, and preventing lateral movement between namespaces.

Leveraging the Wiz Security Graph, Wiz Kubernetes Security models the entire Kubernetes environment—including cluster nodes, pods, namespaces, network policies, and underlying cloud infrastructure—into an interconnected graph. Security teams can pinpoint toxic combinations, such as a pod running a vulnerable image with host-network access and excessive cloud IAM permissions, before adversaries exploit them. The platform simplifies Kubernetes security management, streamlines compliance audits, and protects cloud-native microservices at scale.
