  • The sensor monitors process execution, system calls, and runtime behavior, flagging activity such as unexpected binaries, reverse shells, and DNS queries to known malicious domains.
  • Detections are enriched with cloud context, including a workload's IAM permissions and accessible resources.
  • Wiz says its Detection Engine correlates related signals into consolidated threats; the sensor includes more than 2,000 built-in detection rules, with support for customer rules.
  • Wiz Blue Agent investigates identified threats and recommends response actions, while configurable policies can terminate processes, block behavior, or trigger workflows.
