Cloud security company Wiz has announced the launch of its new product, Wiz Code, a cloud application security product that helps security and development teams identify and fix cloud risks directly in code before they become critical issues. The company said Wiz Code helps improve collaboration between security and development teams.
Wiz Code integrates with developer environments and traces cloud issues back to their source in the code, the company said. This way, it can identify issues in code and continuous integration and continuous delivery/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines. It also links security issues to the developer who caused the problem, giving businesses insight into their security posture and helping them eliminate potential threats faster.
Additionally, Wiz Code provides developers with suggestions for fixing the tools they use and provides real-time security feedback.
Wiz Code joins a fairly crowded market of plugins and other tools that bring security information directly into developer environments. The idea is to provide security context and suggested fixes right where developers are working. Other tools put the information into pull requests and other parts of the development process.
