Wiz vs. Plexicus

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.

Plexicus is the AI-native Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) platform with built-in Vibe Coding Security — purpose-built for the era of AI-assisted development. As developers ship more code, faster, with AI assistants like Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, Windsurf, Devin, Replit, Zed, and VS Code, the volume of vulnerable code is outpacing every traditional AppSec tool. Plexicus closes that gap by replacing alert-only scanners with an autonomous remediation loop that detects, prioritizes, and fixes risks directly in the developer's Git workflow. Unlike fragmented point solutions that drown DevSecOps teams in findings, Plexicus unifies the full application risk surface — SAST, SCA, secrets, IaC, container, and AI-specific threats — and resolves them with proprietary GenAI agents that open the pull request to fix the code. The Plexicus Platform includes: 1. AI-Native ASPM — Correlates findings across SAST, SCA, secrets, IaC, and container scanners into a single prioritized risk view, then generates the PR that fixes the underlying issue. No more triage backlogs, no more swivel-chair between tools. 2. Vibe Coding Security — The industry's first security layer designed specifically for AI-generated code, with five capabilities: - IDE Guardrail — real-time security feedback inside Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, Windsurf, and other AI coding tools. - MCP Security Scanner — protects Model Context Protocol integrations from prompt injection and tool abuse. - Hallucination & Slopsquatting Detector — catches non-existent or malicious packages invented by AI assistants. - Authz & Business-Logic Analyzer — surfaces the access-control and logic flaws that pattern-based scanners miss. - AI Provenance & AIBOM — tracks which code came from which AI tool, with full attestation for audits. 3. Compliance-grade evidence — SOC 2 Type II, NIS2, DORA Art. 28, CRA, and EU AI Act evidence packs out of the box. On the CPSTIC pathway. EU data residency by default.
