CYBRET vs Wiz: the application layer Wiz cannot see.
Wiz is the strongest cloud posture and CNAPP product on the market. CYBRET reasons about the application code running on top of that cloud, and the attack paths that thread through both. They overlap less than the category labels suggest, and the teams that run them together close issues neither could find alone.
Wiz reads cloud config. CYBRET reads application logic.
Wiz is an agentless CNAPP that builds a snapshot of your cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes) and reasons about misconfiguration, exposed workloads, vulnerable images, identity drift, and toxic combinations. The console is excellent. The graph is excellent. For cloud posture, it is the leader, and we recommend it to customers who don't already have one.
CYBRET reads the source code, the API surface, the runtime call traces, and the identity flow inside your applications. Wiz can tell you that an S3 bucket is internet-exposed and an EC2 instance has a critical CVE. CYBRET can tell you that a specific GET /api/orders/:id endpoint allows one authenticated user to read another user's order, with proof. Those are different planes of analysis. The interesting attacks today (broken object-level authorization, business logic abuse, code-to-cloud privilege escalation) live where the two meet.
Capability comparison
Honest read: if you don't have a CNAPP today, buy Wiz. If you have Wiz and still don't know which of your APIs are exploitable in production, buy CYBRET. The two complement each other; neither replaces the other.
| Capability | Wiz | CYBRET |
|---|---|---|
| Cloud misconfiguration (CSPM) | Class-leading | We integrate with Wiz |
| Workload vulnerability scanning (CWPP) | Strong, agentless | Not a focus |
| Container image CVEs | Yes | We ingest yours |
| Identity & entitlement posture (CIEM) | Strong | App-level identity flow |
| Code-level reasoning (BOLA, BFLA, race conditions) | No | 37 detectors, 100% recall on Juice Shop / crAPI / VAmPI |
| API endpoint inventory + risk | Limited | Core product |
| Reachable path: code -> identity -> cloud -> data | Cloud half only | Full graph |
| Autonomous proof-of-exploit | No | Yes, runs the exploit safely |
| Runtime call-trace correlation in production | No | Yes (Runtime Detection) |
| Agentless deployment | Yes | Both, customer choice |
| Knowledge graph quality | Best-in-class for cloud | Best-in-class for app + cloud |
| Compliance posture | SOC 2, ISO 27001 | SOC 2 audit underway · ISO 27001 Stage 2 scheduled · GDPR DPA |
Cloud posture, done right.
Wiz changed CNAPP. Their agentless snapshot architecture made cloud coverage tractable in a way the previous generation of agent-heavy CWPP tools never managed. Their toxic combination engine is the right shape for the problem, and the console is the rare enterprise security UI we enjoy using. If your problem is "which of our 14 AWS accounts has a public bucket touching production data," Wiz answers it faster than anything else on the market.
Their CIEM analysis catches identity drift across AWS, GCP, and Azure with a level of fidelity most teams cannot replicate manually. Their vulnerability prioritization is reasonable inside cloud workloads, and their integration ecosystem is mature. The reason CYBRET exists is not that Wiz is wrong; it's that the cloud picture stops at the workload boundary. Inside the application, the rules are different, and posture tools were not designed to read them.
Three things Wiz cannot do, by architecture.
1. Code-level reasoning, not config inspection.
Wiz reads cloud APIs and image manifests. It cannot tell you that the Express middleware on /api/orders/:id checks ownership for GET but forgets to check for PATCH, because that fact lives in source code, not in a CloudTrail event. CYBRET ingests the repo, builds an identity flow graph, and finds the gap in seconds. We caught 18/18 vulnerabilities on OWASP Juice Shop and 100% of the ground-truth findings on crAPI and VAmPI; none of those would surface on a CSPM.
2. Code-to-cloud reachability, end to end.
Wiz has the cloud half of the graph. CYBRET has both halves. We link the route handler in your repo to the IAM role on the workload to the S3 bucket policy to the data classification, and ask whether an unauthenticated request can traverse it. In a recent pilot, 3,204 scanner findings collapsed to one reachable path because everything else was unreachable across the joined graph.
3. Autonomous validation, not posture scores.
Wiz tells you a finding is critical based on heuristics. CYBRET tells you it's critical because we ran the exploit, captured the response, and attached the proof to the ticket. Our Validation product is continuous, sandboxed, and reversible. Posture tools have no equivalent because they do not interact with the running system at the application layer.
Run them together. The graph joins.
The textbook deployment is: Wiz keeps eyes on cloud posture and workloads, CYBRET ingests Wiz findings as graph nodes, and we add the code, identity, and runtime layers on top. When a Wiz finding lights up a public S3 bucket, CYBRET tells you which application route writes to that bucket, what data class lives there, and whether an unauthenticated request can reach it. The two products produce one ranked path list.
We do not try to replace Wiz, and we will say so during sales. If you need CSPM, CWPP, and CIEM, Wiz is a reasonable default. If you also need to know which of your 8,000 API endpoints leak data when called with the wrong identity, that's us. Pricing is per closed path, so you pay for outcomes, not for inventory.
Questions buyers actually ask.
Does CYBRET replace Wiz?
No. Wiz is a CNAPP and CYBRET is an application-layer reasoning engine. The two operate on different planes. We integrate, ingest each other's data, and produce a joined graph.
Can CYBRET ingest Wiz findings?
Yes. We support Wiz API ingestion, Wiz issues, and webhook-driven imports. Findings flow into our knowledge graph and gain code-level reachability scoring within minutes.
What about agentless deployment?
CYBRET supports both agent and agentless modes. Static analysis is agentless. Runtime Detection uses an optional eBPF probe or sidecar; customers choose. Your VPC, your call.
How does CYBRET compare on cloud posture?
We do not build CSPM. We consume cloud posture data from Wiz, AWS Security Hub, or any other source, and reason about its intersection with the application layer. Trying to out-Wiz Wiz on cloud is not the bet.
What does CYBRET add that a CNAPP architecturally cannot?
Three things: BOLA / BFLA / business-logic vulnerabilities in code, autonomous proof-of-exploit, and runtime call-trace resolution. None of these are visible from a cloud snapshot.
Where does CYBRET deploy?
In your VPC by default. SOC 2 audit underway, ISO 27001 Stage 2 scheduled, GDPR DPA available — full posture on the trust page. We do not exfiltrate source code or production traces; everything stays in your tenancy.
