Daylight

Wiz Defend gives security teams real-time, contextual cloud threat detection built for the cloud operating model. Wiz and Daylight have partnered to extend response capabilities with Daylight's 24/7 Managed Detection and Response (MDR). Through this integration, Daylight ingests Wiz Defend detections and runtime signals via API, enriching them with additional telemetry and business context to drive dynamic, intelligence-led investigations. Validated findings and status updates sync back into Wiz, ensuring alignment across teams and eliminating operational friction.

Together, Wiz and Daylight help organizations accelerate response, scale investigations, and maintain continuous cloud protection.

Benefits of the integration

Wiz and Daylight's integration provides mutual customers:

• Complete Context from Everywhere: Wiz Threats are enriched and correlated with business context in Daylight, including security tools, identity systems, HR platforms, device management, logging systems. This cross-system context enables accurate automated investigation of Wiz threats.

• 4,000+ Threat Types Supported: Daylight's agentic investigation platform handles all Wiz threat types, not just the common ones. Every threat gets investigated and resolved, eliminating the playbook gap that leaves other MDRs drowning in backlog.

• Closed Loop to Zero Threats: Investigation verdicts feed directly back to Wiz Defend, automatically closing threats and updating dashboards. No backlog buildup. Clean slate for incoming threats. This is your ticket to the Zero Time to Respond Club.

Market Challenge

As detection and response have evolved in the cloud, traditional tools fall short in delivering runtime threat detection across modern environments, including containers, serverless, VMs, and Kubernetes. Cloud infrastructure is dynamic and ephemeral, generating high volumes of diverse signals across identity, data, network, and compute layers. 

The challenge is no longer just detecting threats, but operationalizing response at cloud scale. Many legacy MDR models rely on static playbooks built for predictable endpoint patterns, while cloud-native environments demand deep context and adaptability. As a result, investigations often become manual and time-intensive, highlighting the need for dynamic, context-aware response models built specifically for the cloud.

Better Together

Daylight and Wiz unite to deliver scalable cloud detection and response with shared context and seamless workflow integration. Wiz Defend provides real-time, contextual runtime threat detection across modern cloud environments. Daylight extends those detections into 24/7 investigation and response, ensuring threats are validated and resolved without adding operational burden.

When Wiz Defend generates a threat, Daylight ingests it via secure, real-time APIs and enriches it with broader cloud and business context, including asset criticality, vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, identity data, change activity, and application telemetry. Its agentic investigation platform correlates runtime signals with posture and operational data to determine real risk, for example whether a workload is production-facing, who deployed it, what data it can access, and whether similar behavior exists elsewhere.

Validated findings and automated resolutions are documented and synchronized back to Wiz Defend through bidirectional APIs, updating dashboards in real time. For complex incidents, security experts engage with full context already assembled. Together, Wiz and Daylight enable comprehensive runtime protection, streamlined investigations, and faster response across dynamic cloud environments.

Security teams need to monitor dynamic cloud environments, including Kubernetes clusters and serverless workloads, for threats such as suspicious process activity, unexpected network connections, and potential container escapes. Effective runtime protection requires context so security teams can prioritize investigations and respond efficiently.  

Challenge

High-Volume Alerts in Changing Environments 

In cloud environments, many alerts reflect legitimate activity such as CI/CD deployments, authorized debugging sessions, or development testing. Distinguishing real risk from expected behavior requires deep context around workload ownership, environment, permissions, vulnerabilities, and business criticality. Traditional MDR models, built around static playbooks and predictable endpoint patterns, struggle to adapt to cloud-native workloads, leading to manual triage cycles and delayed response.

Solution

Daylight and Wiz deliver context-aware MDR with automated response and expert investigation. Wiz Defend alerts, such as “suspicious process execution in a production container,” are enriched with Wiz Cloud context, revealing vulnerable container images, excessive IAM permissions, and access to sensitive customer data, so high-risk alerts are immediately escalated for human review in Daylight. The same alert in a dev environment is auto-investigated by Daylight, who are able to collect additional context and confirm legitimate debugging sessions by authorized DevOps engineers via ChatOps and auto-resolve them with documentation.

When lateral movement attempts are detected, Daylight already provides full cloud context from Wiz, including affected assets, data sensitivity, and attack surface, enabling response times of minutes instead of multi-hour triage cycles. Together, Wiz and Daylight maintain comprehensive runtime protection, automatically resolve the majority of alerts, and focus security expert attention on the most critical incidents.
