For too long, cloud security has been in a dashboard, while engineering happens in tools like AWS, GCP, Azure, GitHub, and GitLab. Cloud security works best when it plugs directly into developer workflows — embedding actionable risk insights directly where teams build, change, and deploy infrastructure.
WizExtend bridges that gap. Instead of toggling between tools, WizExtend overlays security insights right on top of your cloud and dev portals. It’s a fully interactive security layer that helps development and security teams identify risks, understand context, and apply fixes without ever leaving their code environment.
The result: no more context switching or tab-hopping—just instant visibility and one-click remediation right where you work.
Get Risk Context Where You Need It
WizExtend gives real-time security alerts and context-aware insights directly from the tools where your engineering teams work.
For cloud engineering teams, WizExtend gives information on potential risks as they work in their AWS, Azure, or GCP console. WizExtend opens in a side panel in their browser, auto-populating with issues related to the specific service or resource being viewed (for example, related to an EC2 instance or S3 bucket). This gives engineers immediate context on the resource they’re working on and helps to accelerate triage time by giving them necessary security data exactly when they need it.
If they want to investigate further, engineers can also ask MikaAI for additional information directly via WizExtend. Because MikaAI knows the context of the resource in the browser your team member is using, they can get responses to key questions such as, "Who accessed this bucket in the past 24 hours?" or "What is the unpatched software here?" No need to jump between tools to understand what needs to be fixed, and why.
Instantly Trace Issues from Code to Cloud
If your team does see an issue they need to fix, Wiz connects the live cloud resource back to the exact line of code that created it, instantly closing the loop for investigation and remediation. In one click, engineers are taken directly to the specific IaC code that generated the resource – allowing them to quickly fix issues right at the source.
This cloud to code connection also works both ways: WizExtend can give insights on the runtime security status of a particular resource from your VCS as well. For example, when your dev is working in GitHub, MikaAI recognizes the resource they are editing and instantly pulls its live runtime status—so they’ll know if that S3 bucket code is actually exposed in production. No guesswork; actual status.
MikaAI also can take this bidirectional usage data a step further by using that runtime data to generate fixes. For example, it can generate a least-privilege policy (in JSON format) based on actual cloud events, which you can copy and use for instant remediation – giving you necessary security context and automated remediation steps, right from your development tools.
Fixes that Fit Your Developer Workflows
WizExtend brings the same context and remediation workflows when WizExtend is open alongside your team’s Git/VCS repositories. It can provide context-aware insights like CVEs, exposed secrets, SAST findings, and IaC misconfigurations while you’re working in your preferred repo, say GitHub or GitLab.
This helps developers instantly filter findings to show only the issues they personally introduced as the direct code author/or code owner, and can also give them context such as the exact fixed version needed to remediate a vulnerability.
To deploy a fix, WizExtend gives developers two options: they can just click "Go to line in code" to navigate directly to the vulnerable line and make the necessary change themselves, or WizExtend can also instantly generate a Pull Request with the fix applied, automating the first step of remediation and significantly improving the time-to-fix.
The end result? No noise: visibility into only issues relevant to that specific dev where they do their work, as well as options that make remediation faster and easier.
Turn Research into Action with MikaAI
WizExtend can also apply insights from public CVE information to your specific environment — helping cut down triage time from hours to seconds.
Say for example you spot a new story or catch an alert from an advisory site like NIST NVD about a new CVE: When you navigate to a public webpage listing the CVE, clicking the WizExtend icon prompts MikaAI to proactively ask the critical question, "Am I vulnerable to this CVE?"
The query is run instantly against your live cloud environment, providing an immediate answer, pinpointing the exact vulnerable asset, for example an Azure Linux VM, and its severity. Then you can jump straight from the public intelligence page to the full investigation graph in the Wiz portal.
One click, and WizExtend becomes your instant CVE checker – with MikaAI and the Wiz Security Graph powering your insights.
