Cado Security teams up with Wiz to bolster cloud security solutions

Fri, 12th Apr 2024

Cado Security has unveiled a strategic partnership with cloud security provider Wiz. This collaboration sees Cado Security join the Wiz Integration (WIN) platform, enabling mutual customers to efficiently reduce cloud risk and expedite forensic investigations pertaining to crucial cloud resources.

The alliance serves to enhance the WIN platform by empowering Wiz users to seamlessly integrate Cado into their existing cloud security processes. The synergy of these two propositions is projected to streamline security for organisations regardless of where they find themselves in their cloud journey.

As part of the integration, mutual customers will be able to enjoy a slew of benefits. Customers can expedite their response time to cloud threats and conduct speedier forensics investigations of cloud resources. This can be achieved with the aid of Wiz's one-click forensics capabilities, enabling a swifter path to root cause identification and relevant remediation.

The integration also equips customers with advanced forensics analysis capabilities, thanks to Cado's AI Investigator. Gaining deeper insights into the source, scope, and implications of cloud-based threats should subsequently enhance an analyst's response capability.

Moreover, the joint solution simplifies incident response by granting customers instant access to cloud resources and potentially compromised systems. The advantage of not having to configure additional access requirements or coordinate with other teams saves analysts invaluable investigation time.

The importance of rapid response to incident resolution was highlighted by James Campbell, CEO & Co-founder at Cado Security. He commented, "When it comes to incident response, speed is critical to managing risk and reducing the potential impact of threats. With the Cado Security and Wiz integration, our solutions work seamlessly together, allowing mutual customers to respond faster to cloud-based threats and remove common access hurdles often resulting in investigation delays."

He further expressed his excitement over the partnership with Wiz, "We are thrilled to partner with Wiz as we collaborate to deliver best-in-class solutions to improve our customers' cloud security posture."

Expressing Wiz's commitment towards offering comprehensive cloud security solutions to customers, Oron Noah, Head of Product Extensibility & Partnerships at Wiz, said, "We are pleased to welcome Cado Security to the WIN platform. By integrating Cado's advanced cloud forensics and incident response capabilities into WIN, we empower our customers to respond swiftly to threats and minimise the impact on their cloud environments."

According to Noah, WIN facilitates a cloud security operating model where security and cloud teams work collaboratively to tackle risks throughout their cloud and software development lifecycle. This has been made possible by Wiz's strategy of partnering with firms such as Cado Security, thereby maximising the operational capabilities of organisations on the WIN platform.
