As businesses increasingly migrate their workloads to the cloud, they face new and complex challenges in protecting their assets. That’s why we’re excited to announce a partnership that represents a huge leap forward in protecting our customers’ cloud environments..
We’ve teamed up with Wiz, the top cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP), to provide comprehensive, round-the-clock cloud security that’s both powerful and user-friendly.
Why this partnership matters
As Yonni Shelmerdine, our Chief Product Officer, points out, “Cloud infrastructures are increasingly desirable targets for attackers as more workloads move to, or are born in, the cloud.”
Many organizations struggle to effectively detect and respond to risks within their cloud environments. This partnership addresses that challenge head-on by combining Expel’s deep cloud detection and response expertise with Wiz’s cutting-edge CNAPP platform.
“Expel’s expertise in cloud security and rapid incident response perfectly complements Wiz’s CNAPP capabilities, helping deliver enhanced protection for our customers’ cloud environments,” said Oron Noah, VP, Product Extensibility & Partnerships at Wiz. “This partnership continues our commitment to securing complex cloud infrastructures, enabling our customers to focus on what truly matters to their business goals.”
