StackGen Partners with Wiz for Enhanced Cloud Security

StackGen has recently announced its partnership with Wiz, a leader in cloud security, by joining the Wiz Integration Network (WIN). This collaboration aims to empower customers with AI-driven infrastructure automation that seamlessly integrates with existing development workflows, ultimately enhancing security measures and compliance standards for cloud infrastructure.

AI-Driven Security Automation

The essence of this partnership lies in the powerful combination of StackGen’s advanced automation platform and Wiz’s sophisticated security solutions. With an ever-growing reliance on cloud infrastructure, the integration of security measures at the initial stages of development is critical. The joint offering from StackGen and Wiz allows mutual customers to implement security features directly into their infrastructure provisioning process.

Through the Wiz Integration Network, StackGen users gain access to prioritized security insights that include findings related to inventory, vulnerabilities, and configuration issues. This integration dramatically enhances the ability of developers and platform engineers to identify and address misconfigurations before they reach production. The capacity for shift-left security enforcement means that security policies defined by CISOs (Chief Information Security Officers) are now enforceable early in the development cycle, reducing the likelihood of encountering security violations in production environments.

Reducing Alert Fatigue

One of the significant benefits of this partnership is the reduction of alert fatigue experienced by security teams. By streamlining the security validation process, companies can significantly lower the number of security incidents flagged during production, therefore allowing security teams to prioritize their focus on more complex issues rather than sifting through a plethora of notifications. The early identification of potential vulnerabilities ensures that teams can address them proactively, thereby minimizing risks associated with cloud operations.

Accelerated Infrastructure Delivery

With StackGen’s AI-powered workflows intertwined with Wiz’s security insights, mutual customers can expect accelerated delivery of secure infrastructure. The combined capabilities provide teams the ability to deploy compliant infrastructure quickly while ensuring they adhere to pre-defined enterprise security standards. This transformation is crucial as businesses continue to evolve and scale their cloud strategies.

As Tilak Yalamanchili, the Head of Partnerships and Alliances at StackGen, notes, “The rapid pace of infrastructure provisioning driven by AI agents demands that security validation occurs at the same speed as development.” This necessity for speed has led to the development of a partnership that places security directly into the infrastructure creation workflow, encouraging a culture of security-conscious development among engineers.

Strengthening the WIN Ecosystem

Wiz’s VP of Product Extensibility and Partnerships, Oron Noah, expressed enthusiasm about StackGen's entry into the WIN ecosystem, stating that this partnership enhances the ability for customers to identify misconfigurations at an earlier stage and reduce noisy alerts. He emphasized how this will enable teams to ship secure, compliant infrastructure faster than ever before.

The Wiz Integration Network is designed to foster a collaborative approach to cloud security, wherein both security and cloud teams work together to minimize risks. This partnership between StackGen and Wiz not only strengthens the WIN ecosystem but also presents substantial advantages for businesses utilizing their services.
