Exaforce and Wiz: Connecting cloud security findings to SOC response

Cloud detection without context and response leaves security teams buried in work. This integration closes the gap.

Cloud security platforms have gotten very good at finding problems. Misconfigurations, exposed secrets, vulnerable resources, and runtime anomalies. Modern tools surface these faster than any team could manually review them. However, what happens next often remains difficult.

Findings pile up faster than analysts can triage them, context-switching between tools while response automation, if it exists at all, lives somewhere else entirely. The result is a gap between detection and resolution that most security teams are quietly managing through backlog and prioritization.

Exaforce is now a technology partner in the Wiz Integration Network, and the integration addresses that gap directly.

Detection to response, end-to-end

Exaforce connects with Wiz and pulls cloud resource configurations, network exposures, misconfigurations, exposed secrets, and runtime detections every five minutes. After ingestion, Exaforce normalizes the alerts and correlates them with telemetry from identity providers, endpoints, SaaS applications, and other cloud event sources. This correlation is where isolated findings become meaningful signals. A runtime detection flagging unusual process execution on a cloud workload is a finding. The identity of that workload pivoting to connected SaaS applications and downloading data is an incident.

Each correlated finding is routed to an Exabot agent workflow. The agent assesses severity, pulls relevant context, investigates the surrounding activity, and drives a response action. Depending on the configuration, that action can execute autonomously or route to an analyst for approval. Either way, the result is a fully documented incident with an audit trail.

What this means for SOC teams

Wiz gives security teams visibility into cloud and AI risk across misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, compliance posture, and runtime behavior. SOC teams that run Wiz want to get the most out of every finding it surfaces. The Exaforce integration makes that possible by automating the triage, investigation, and response workflows that turn Wiz findings into closed incidents.

Wiz findings come in continuously, get normalized alongside other telemetry, and automatically get deep investigations without requiring an analyst to open a ticket or pull a query. High-severity findings that correlate with active identity or endpoint signals can be escalated or remediated in minutes rather than hours.

Connected cloud visibility and SOC response

Most organizations have more detection coverage than they can act on. The bottleneck in most security operations is the workflow between a finding and a resolved incident, specifically the investigation, triage, and response steps that still require analyst time.

Wiz surfaces cloud and AI risk with the kind of depth that used to require multiple specialized tools. Exaforce automates the SOC workflow that converts those findings into action. The integration connects the two, so cloud security findings move through investigation and response without leaving the finding in a queue waiting for analyst capacity, cutting the time from detection to resolved incident.
