Easy, automated threat validation to optimize cloud security
Cloud environments can change by the minute, and traditional validation methods can’t keep pace. Security teams require continuous assurance that their cloud threat detections work as intended, not just during a point-in-time test.
The Wiz–Cymulate integration meets this need by continuously validating Wiz Defend’s threat detection and providing actionable insights to optimize coverage, accelerate detection engineering and strengthen threat resilience.
Test, validate and strengthen cloud threat detections
Wiz and Cymulate combine to deliver validated cloud security against the latest threats. Cymulate simulates advanced cloud and runtime attack scenarios to test and validate how cyber defenses prevent, detect and respond. By integrating Cymulate with Wiz, organizations can automate threat validation, security control testing and the development of new detection logic. The integration enables Cymulate to correlate Wiz detections and threat alerts with simulated attack activity, proving visibility and detection of advanced threats.
With easy, automated validation of cloud security, Cymulate provides:
Metrics on validated threat detection to measure effectiveness
Drift detection to identify decreases in Wiz Defend coverage
Heatmaps and reporting mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, CIS and NIST 800-53
Detection logic formatted for Wiz Defend, accelerating detection engineering and rule tuning
Wiz delivers continuous visibility across cloud configurations, identities and runtime activity. Cymulate validates Wiz Defend by simulating cloud and runtime threats, identifying gaps and enabling teams to refine rules and quickly retest, creating a closed-loop workflow that strengthens cloud resilience.
Build, tune and validate custom detection logic
Cloud detection engineering is a constant race against change. Even the best-configured cloud security solutions can lose effectiveness as threats, infrastructure and policies evolve. Misconfigurations, custom or incomplete rules can leave critical gaps, yet security teams often lack proof that their detections actually trigger when threats occur.
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 AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.
Spot security drift early with posture baselines and trend reports
Cymulate continuously validates Wiz Defend against emerging threats, exploits and techniques, giving security teams clear, evidence-based metrics for detection performance. Trending dashboards and executive-ready reports enable easy baselining of security posture over time, demonstrating improvement and communicating results to leadership and auditors. Cymulate also maps Wiz Defend detection coverage to frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK and NIST 800-53, providing heatmaps that clearly identify strengths and weaknesses.
As cloud environments and control configurations change, security posture can erode. Cymulate detects this security drift by comparing current validation results against historical baselines and highlighting decreases in Wiz Defend threat coverage. When gaps appear, Cymulate provides a clear mitigation path, including newly generated detection rules, to restore and strengthen protection.
