Wiz vs. ConnectSecure

Wiz introduces a novel strategy for cloud security by identifying critical risks and potential entry points across various multi-cloud settings. It enables the discovery of all lateral movement threats, including private keys that can access both production and development areas. Vulnerabilities and unpatched software can be scanned within your workloads for proactive security measures. Additionally, it provides a thorough inventory of all services and software operating within your cloud ecosystems, detailing their versions and packages. The platform allows you to cross-check all keys associated with your workloads against their permissions in the cloud environment. Through an exhaustive evaluation of your cloud network, even those obscured by multiple hops, you can identify which resources are exposed to the internet. Furthermore, it enables you to benchmark your configurations against industry standards and best practices for cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, and virtual machine operating systems, ensuring a comprehensive security posture. Ultimately, this thorough analysis makes it easier to maintain robust security and compliance across all your cloud deployments.

ConnectSecure operates as a robust SaaS solution for managing vulnerabilities and compliance, tailored specifically for managed-service providers to strengthen client security, reduce risks, and effectively scale their security offerings for greater profitability. The platform performs continuous vulnerability assessments and asset discovery across various settings, including networks, servers, endpoints, cloud platforms, web applications, and external systems, utilizing both agent-based and lightweight scanning techniques along with assessments of external attack surfaces. By identifying open ports, misconfigurations, outdated software, exposed systems, risks related to cloud environments, and weaknesses in web applications, it monitors over 230,000 known CVEs, which are refreshed daily from multiple public databases. Moreover, ConnectSecure automates the patch management process for a wide array of applications, offers compliance management features that align with major frameworks such as GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, CIS, NIST, and ISO, and ensures consistent monitoring across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments. This comprehensive strategy not only bolsters security measures but also simplifies compliance with industry standards, ultimately empowering providers to deliver enhanced services to their clients. Furthermore, the platform’s user-friendly interface streamlines operations, making it easier for managed-service providers to implement and manage security protocols effectively.
