Running and Securing Cloud Environments For Today and Tomorrow

Whether your brand new to the cloud or a battle hardened veteran, your cloud attack surface is growing. Adversaries are becoming more sophisticated, cloud architectures more complex, and security staffs are constantly shorthanded. Wiz's approach to Cloud Security, focusing on Toxic Combinations, provides immediate visibility into your environment's highest areas of risk. Instead of playing whack-a-mole with vulnerabilities and compliance violations, Toxic Combinations help identify, prioritize, and mitigate areas where you are most exposed.

While Wiz provides industry leading OOTB controls and policies to ensure Cloud environments are secure, many enterprises typically have years of maturity and customizations built into their existing, legacy environments. EliteOps has the experience and engineering know-how to help map, migrate and operationalize your existing, mature frameworks and controls into Wiz, ensuring that years of work doesn't have to be redone from scratch. Whether it's converting policies to Rego and GraphQL, building custom sensor rules, or implementing robust shift left security, EliteOps will help ensure you get the best out of Wiz without the sunk costs of throwing away years of practice.
