New Wiz Partnership Provides Full Visibility, Context, and Control of all Your Cloud APIs

We are all excited about our new strategic partnership with Wiz. Our latest integration gives corporate information security teams unprecedented visibility and control of the APIs scattered across their entire cloud estate.

Wiz is the fastest-growing software company in the world for good reason. Their cloud-native, agentless platform connects in minutes and scans an organization’s entire cloud environment, helping security professionals identify potential exposure, prioritize risk, and focus on the issues that matter most.

With this new partnership, Noname uses Wiz’s in-depth inventory data to provide customers with contextual insights into their APIs. Our joint solution can help you boost your security posture, accelerate discoveries and remediations, and improve compliance with data privacy mandates and cybersecurity regulations.

Why is this important?

APIs drive business, and their usage has exploded over the years as businesses have adopted microservices architectures, cloud services, and continuous development practices. Today, many businesses are awash in APIs over which central IT and InfoSec organizations have little visibility and control. Many of these APIs provide unfettered access to business-critical systems and confidential data.

Threat actors routinely exploit poorly secured APIs to steal sensitive data and carry out attacks. In fact, APIs are the number one attack vector for Web applications, according to Gartner. And a recent Noname survey bears this out—76% of respondents said they experienced an API security incident in the past 12 months.

What does the new Wiz integration do?

Wiz’s cloud security platform connects in minutes to scan the full cloud environment without agents, finds toxic combinations of exposure that represent real risk, and delivers accurate risk prioritization, including PaaS resources, virtual machines, containers, serverless functions, and more. Wiz works with all popular public and private cloud platforms—AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, Alibaba Cloud, VMware vSphere, Kubernetes, and Red Hat OpenShift—so it is pretty much guaranteed to work with your cloud or multi-cloud environment.

With our joint solution, Noname makes it easy to understand your APIs’ security posture in context. Noname provides a comprehensive view of all your APIs across all your on-premises and cloud-based infrastructure, including issue counts by severity identified by Wiz. Contextual visualizations make it easy to understand API dependencies and examine API call flows, so you can quickly identify toxic combinations, uncover potential security weaknesses, and take corrective actions.

What are the main benefits of the integration?

Together, Noname and Wiz can help you secure your cloud APIs and accelerate risk reduction. With the new integration, you can:

• Proactively improve your security posture by gaining full visibility into all your APIs across all your infrastructure. The integration can help you identify cloud API vulnerabilities, increase situational awareness, make data-driven decisions, and address security issues before adversaries exploit them.
• Find and fix breaches faster by gathering contextual insights to intelligently assess risks and prioritize mitigation efforts. The joint solution lets you efficiently analyze attacker behavior, identify attack paths, and automate remediation efforts.
• Ensure compliance with industry and government regulations like PCI DSS, GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA by protecting data privacy and defending against breaches. The integration lets you easily identify, monitor, and control sensitive APIs, helping you safeguard personally identifiable information and other confidential data, and streamline audits.
