CrowdStrike vs. Wiz
Don’t settle for an incomplete cloud security (CNAPP) point product that can’t stop breaches.
Wiz An incomplete CNAPP
-
×Lacks essential cloud security capabilities
-
×CWP agent lacks behavioral runtime prevention, crucial for real-time response
-
×Reduced visibility into runtime application workloads and APIs
-
×Missing native security modules needed for critical alert context and attack path analysis (EDR, identity, threat intel, exposure management, IT assets)
The CrowdStrike difference
CrowdStrike The industry’s most complete CNAPP
CrowdStrike Falcon® Cloud Security integrates all aspects of cloud security — CWP, CSPM, CIEM, CDR, and ASPM — into a unified console, enhancing threat visibility and correlation across cloud, endpoint, identity, and more, for complete attack path analysis and quicker investigations.
Wiz Lacking in prevention capabilities, and can’t stop breaches
-
×No behavioral runtime prevention capabilities to stop zero-day threats in real-time
-
×Only covers cloud workloads, can’t prevent cross-domain breaches across endpoint, identity, and cloud
-
×Absence of agent-based AI/ML detection needed to catch stealthy attacks
-
×Forces customers to rely on third-party tools for incident response
The CrowdStrike difference
CrowdStrike Built to stop breaches
CrowdStrike’s advanced runtime protection capabilities are built on the same unified agent as our leading EDR and identity protection. The Falcon agent delivers deep visibility, detection, and real-time response across the entire cloud-native stack, including all workloads, containers, and Kubernetes.
Wiz Incomplete CDR and lacks expert services
-
×No in-house managed services, widening the skills gaps for customers
-
×No in-house managed cloud threat hunting
-
×No Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR), penetration testing, or adversary emulation, yielding ineffective response
-
×No integrated threat intelligence, leaving customers unprepared for today’s sophisticated attacks
The CrowdStrike difference
CrowdStrike The CDR Pioneer
CrowdStrike is the only CDR that unifies world-class threat intelligence and elite 24/7 managed services with complete, industry-leading cloud security. CrowdStrike’s integrated threat intelligence tracks 257 adversaries, providing a comprehensive understanding of a wide array of potential threats, enabling organizations to anticipate and respond to attacks more effectively.
Compare
Wiz
Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP)
The industry’s most complete CNAPP
The industry’s only CNAPP that natively integrates CDR, CWP, CSPM, CIEM, and ASPM in a single, unified platform.
An incomplete CNAPP
Inadequate CNAPP lacks key cloud security features such as visibility into runtime application workloads and APIs.
Runtime Protection
Comprehensive runtime protection
The Falcon agent delivers deep visibility, detection, and real-time response across the entire cloud-native stack, including all workloads, containers, and Kubernetes applications to prevent cloud-based threats.
Immature agent
Wiz’s runtime protection capabilities are limited to static prevention rules, leaving customers unable to stop initial intrusion or ongoing attacks.
Cloud Detection and Response (CDR)
The new standard in CDR
Unrivaled protection, unifying the world’s most complete CNAPP with pioneering adversary intelligence and elite 24/7 services to shut down cloud breaches.
No in-house services for CDR
Wiz has no professional or managed services offerings, which leaves customers facing potential skill gaps in implementation, threat hunting, incident investigation, and response.
Threat Intelligence
World-class threat intelligence
CrowdStrike was named a Leader in External Threat Intelligence Services, with the highest ranking of all vendors in the Current Offering category. Full alert context and advanced detections defeats adversaries proactively.
Limited intelligence means ineffective
response
Wiz has no integrated threat intelligence, leaving SOC teams blind. With no threat actor profiles, adversary tactic discovery or documented IOCs, customers are ill-equipped to defend against today’s sophisticated adversaries.
Analyst Validation
The validated market leader
CrowdStrike is a Leader in:
Just a follower
Wiz was only a “Strong Performer” in the Forrester Wave™: Cloud Workload Security, Q1 2024. They were excluded entirely from the Gartner MQ for EPP and Forrester Waves for Threat Intel and MDR because they don’t offer these solutions, exposing significant gaps in their offerings.
Platform Consolidation
Unified security means better outcomes, and
lower TCO
Simplify and economize. CrowdStrike reduces complexity and saves you money by providing a single, unified console designed for consolidation. Get access to world-class solutions across cloud, endpoint, identity, exposure management, next-gen SIEM, data protection, and IT automation all within the Falcon platform.
Disparate point products add complexity and
cost
Wiz is a standalone point product. It doesn’t have endpoint security, identity protection, exposure management, or visibility over IT assets, forcing you to manually correlate telemetry across multiple vendors and consoles. In short: increased complexity, and costly security outcomes.
Generative AI
Accelerate SecOps with Charlotte AI
CrowdStrike enhances the analyst experience at every stage by leveraging CrowdStrike® Charlotte AI and machine learning. This includes high-fidelity AI-powered detection triage, analyzing detections with over 98% accuracy3 and boosting SOC efficiency.
Slow, manual operations
Wiz lacks a GenAI assistant to aid analysts in detection triage and investigation, complicating the analyst’s work experience and delaying effective response.
