Cymulate

Wiz and Cymulate combine to deliver validated cloud security against the latest threats. Cymulate simulates advanced attacks to test and validate how cyber defenses prevent, detect and respond. By integrating Cymulate with Wiz, users can automate threat validation, security controls testing and the creation of new detection logic. The integration enables Cymulate to correlate Wiz event and alert data against attack scenarios to prove visibility and detection of advanced threats.

Integration Benefits

• Validate threats with automated attack simulations that confirm Wiz policies and detections

• Optimize detection by continuously testing and tuning Wiz Defend detection logic to maximize threat coverage and accuracy

• Identify drift by comparing current validation results to historical baselines, and flag when Wiz Defend threat coverage drops.  

• Measure and baseline threat coverage with consistent, validated security across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud with alignment to frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK and NIST 800-53

Better Together

Wiz continuously identifies and prioritizes risks across cloud configurations, identities and runtime activity in all major cloud providers. The Cymulate integration enhances Wiz Defend by validating that simulated cloud and runtime threats are accurately detected and logged by Wiz Sensor, policies and detection logic. When gaps are found, Cymulate provides Wiz-specific detection logic, enabling teams to fine-tune threat detection, apply mitigations in Wiz Defend and quickly retest with Cymulate to confirm coverage. Together, Wiz and Cymulate enable continuous validation of threat detection and response, helping security teams maintain strong, adaptive cloud resilience.

Cyber threats evolve daily, so security teams demand continuous validation of their cloud security with actionable insights to strengthen resilience. Manual testing requires specialized skills from red teams with testing that’s limited in scope and lacks context of the controls that can mitigate identified gaps. The Wiz–Cymulate integration continuously validates Wiz’s threat detection to deliver insights that optimize threat coverage.

Challenge

Cloud detection engineering moves fast, and cloud environments change just as quickly. As threats, infrastructure and policies evolve, it’s easy for misconfigurations or drift to introduce blind spots. Security teams need a clear way to validate that their detections trigger as expected, especially when the environment around them is constantly shifting.

Solution

The Wiz Defend–Cymulate integration closes this gap by validating that Wiz Detections, Sensors and policies correctly identify simulated cloud threats. Cymulate safely runs offensive scenarios that create and modify cloud resources, while Wiz monitors and flags the resulting activity. Detection coverage is automatically correlated in Cymulate, helping teams see exactly what was detected and what was missed.

When a gap is identified, security teams can fine-tune Wiz-specific detection logic and immediately retest with Cymulate, accelerating detection engineering, enhancing rule quality and validating fixes in real-time. The result is measurable detection confidence, reduced exposure and continuously optimized cloud resilience across major cloud providers.
