Elastio vs. Wiz

Wiz finds and closes security gaps before attackers exploit them. Elastio detects what gets through and proves your data is clean. They answer different questions — and work best together.

Two questions. Two products.

Wiz and Elastio each answer a fundamentally different question about what happened during an attack.

Wiz

"Are we exposed? What can an attacker reach?"

·Scans cloud accounts for misconfigurations, exposed credentials, and over-permissioned identities

·Maps attack paths so security teams know which vulnerabilities actually matter

·Detects runtime threats across cloud workloads, containers, and accounts

·Catches security issues in code and infrastructure templates before they reach production

Outcome: Exposure found and prioritized before an attacker exploits it

Elastio

"Has the attacker compromised my data?"

·Early attack signals on the data layer, stops encryption before it starts

·Insider-executed encryption detection, no mass file operation pattern required

·Encryption detected mid-stream before it propagates

·Custom hunts: YARA, SQL, regex across live data, replicated data, and backups

·Last Known Clean recovery point if encryption completes

Outcome: Verified Data. Provable Recovery.

The GapWiz finds and closes gaps before an attacker reaches them. Elastio detects what gets through and confirms whether your data and backups are still clean.

How they work together

Elastio integrates with Wiz. When Wiz raises a finding on a workload, Elastio automatically hunts the data tied to that asset — live data, snapshots, and backups.

The output is a confirmed scope of what was affected and which recovery point is clean. Both questions get answered from one event.

What a CISO is accountable for

1.Find and close security gaps before attackers exploit them

2.Detect attacks on your data that get past your security tools

3.Prove to the board and regulators that data is clean and recovery works

Wiz covers the first. Elastio covers the second and third. Together they give a CISO the complete picture: how risk was reduced, that data is clean, and that recovery is provable. Regulators and insurers now require all three.
