Wiz

Wiz reached $500M ARR faster than any security startup in history — in just 4 years — by scanning AWS, Azure, and GCP environments in minutes to detect misconfigurations and exposed secrets. Google's $23 billion acquisition attempt in 2024 validated it as the most important new entrant in enterprise security, outperforming #3 CrowdStrike in cloud-native protection. Wiz reduces average breach detection time by 70% compared to legacy tools like Qualys, and its agentless architecture covers 90% of cloud providers natively.
