Integrating Wiz to BoostSecurity


Integrating Wiz with BoostSecurity enhances security findings by incorporating cloud context from Wiz, enabling comprehensive contextualization from code to cloud. Once the integration is enabled, BoostSecurity leverages the following data from Wiz projects:

  • Kubernetes Topology and Services: Provides insights into the cluster and service structure.
  • Container Image Assets and Attributes: Enhances visibility into containerized workloads.
  • Containers Exposed to the Public Internet: Identifies publicly accessible containers for risk assessment.
  • Container-to-Source Repositories: Links containers back to their source repositories when container scanning is enabled in Wiz.

BoostSecurity enriches security findings with runtime attributes and escalates findings to critical+ risk when applicable.


Availability


The Wiz integration is available for all BoostSecurity users with the necessary permissions in both platforms.


Benefits of the Integration


  • Enhanced Security Context: Links cloud security insights from Wiz with BoostSecurity’s development-time security data.
  • Improved Risk Prioritization: Elevates high-risk vulnerabilities by combining runtime and cloud context.
  • Cloud-to-Code Visibility: Enables a seamless connection between container assets and source repositories for efficient triage.
