Wiz and Check Point Integrate Cloud Risk Visibility With Network Defenses
Summary
Wiz and Check Point announced an integration that combines cloud risk and firewall context, validates internet reachability, and lets Check Point Infinity recommend or apply CloudGuard protections such as virtual patching.
Key points
- Wiz adds CloudGuard appliances and firewall rules to its Security Graph, showing how network controls relate to cloud resources and exposure paths.
- Wiz’s Dynamic Scanner checks whether identified risks are reachable from the internet.
- Wiz forwards discovered vulnerabilities to Check Point Infinity, which evaluates them against CloudGuard firewall and IPS policies.
- When appropriate, Infinity can recommend or apply protections such as enabling IPS signatures, adjusting rules, or virtual patching while teams fix vulnerabilities.
Article Details
- Event Type
- Wiz and Check Point announced an integration combining Wiz cloud-risk context with Check Point network-defense capabilities.
- Impact
- The integration shares cloud vulnerabilities and exposure information with Check Point Infinity and brings CloudGuard firewall devices and rules into the Wiz Security Graph. It is intended to help customers validate internet reachability, prioritize risks based on existing protections, and recommend or apply protections such as virtual patching through CloudGuard IPS while vulnerabilities are remediated.
