Wiz Recognised as a Leader in Forrester's Proactive Security Platforms Report

Wiz has been named a Leader in The Forrester Wave: Proactive Security Platforms, Q3 2026, scoring the highest possible marks in eight of 21 evaluation criteria. The report reflects a broader shift in how organisations are being encouraged to approach security: rather than relying on disconnected vulnerability scanners and isolated tools, businesses are being pushed towards platforms built around Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), which aims to give security teams clear, unified visibility into which weaknesses actually create exploitable attack paths.

According to the report, traditional 'vertical security' models, where separate tools cover endpoints, networks, cloud, and code in isolation, tend to strip away important business context. This can lead to alert fatigue and confusion over who is actually responsible for fixing identified risks. Wiz was noted as the only vendor to achieve top scores across all three remediation augmentation and decisioning criteria, suggesting stronger capability in helping teams prioritise and act on genuine risks rather than chasing every alert.

The recognition follows Wiz's earlier acknowledgement as a Leader in Forrester's Cloud Native Application Protection Platforms report, reinforcing a trend where effective defence increasingly depends on visibility that spans code, cloud, SaaS, AI systems, and on-premises environments rather than siloed point solutions.
