Cloud security unicorn Wiz is partnering with fellow Israeli cyber startups Armis and Salt Security on its new Wiz Integration (WIN) platform.
WIN is designed to enable a cloud security operating model where security and cloud teams work collaboratively to understand and control risks across their CI/CD pipeline.
Armis will bring its Asset Intelligence and Security Platform to WIN, while Salt will provide API security data and context derived from the Salt Security API Protection Platform.
The Armis Asset Intelligence Platform provides unified asset visibility and security across all asset types, including information technology (IT), internet of things (IoT), operational technology (OT), internet of medical things (IoMT), cloud, and cellular-IoT — both managed and unmanaged.
“We’re proud to partner with Wiz and combine our respective areas of expertise to deliver an enhanced solution that better protects global organizations and governments from cybersecurity risks,” said Nadir Izrael, CTO and Co-founder of Armis. “As a cybersecurity community, we are better together when it comes to defending against the increasingly sophisticated attacks of malicious actors.”
The Salt platform applies cloud-scale big data, and ML and AI to enable organizations to catalog their APIs, see where they expose sensitive data, detect and block API attackers, and provide remediation insights.
“APIs constitute the core of modern innovation, especially in the cloud, providing seamless access to vital services and data,” said Roey Eliyahu, co-founder and CEO of Salt Security. “At the same time, APIs have also become an enabler for bad actors looking to execute malicious attacks. Protecting against API abuse requires comprehensive visibility across all environments, a clear understanding of where API posture gaps persist and succinct remediation insights to help reduce corrective timelines.”
Wiz announced in February that it raised $300 million in a Series D funding round at a $10 billion valuation. The company has raised a total of $900 million to date.
Salt Security reached a $1.4 billion valuation in a $140 million Series D in February 2022. Salt has raised over $270 million to date.
Armis was acquired by New York-based venture capital and private equity firm Insight Partners and Google’s investment fund Capital G for $1.1 billion in January 2020. Armis raised $300 million at a $3.4 billion valuation in November 2021, taking its total funding to $600 million.
