Cloudflare, Inc., the leading connectivity cloud company, today announced a partnership with cloud and AI security leader Wiz, now part of Google Cloud, to give security teams a unified way to analyze and protect AI-powered applications across their entire environment. By integrating the power of Cloudflare's AI Security for Apps directly into the Wiz Security Graph, organizations will gain access to the most comprehensive map of their entire AI footprint, and the tools needed to secure it. Organizations are shipping AI-powered features faster than security teams can track them.

Quick Intel

  • Cloudflare partners with Wiz to secure AI-powered applications across entire environments via integrated platform.

  • Cloudflare AI Security for Apps provides guardrails at the edge to secure AI endpoints from prompt injection and unsafe topics.

  • Wiz AI Application Protection Platform (AI-APP) maps complete AI applications and surfaces security gaps.

  • Integration helps customers autonomously eliminate AI blind spots including shadow AI across infrastructure.

  • Security teams can prioritize risks based on exploitability with unified view of AI endpoints and shared risk context.

  • The solution is model and host-agnostic, protecting endpoints regardless of LLM or cloud provider.

CPO on the Challenge of Shadow AI

"AI is the most transformative technology we've seen in a generation, powering countless capabilities. But for a majority of businesses, it can be a black box. When talking with CISOs today, they are struggling with the balance of being an enabler of innovation with AI, while combating uncontrolled shadow AI across their organization because their legacy security tools are effectively useless at this level," said Tom Evans, Chief Partner Officer at Cloudflare. "The Cloudflare and Wiz partnership helps tackle this trade-off. Now, we are delivering a solution to allow innovation with AI at speed, without the worry that their most sensitive data will be exposed."

Wiz on Closing the AI Risk Gap

"Security alignment isn't just about reducing risk, it's an enabler of AI application development," said Oron Noah, VP of Product, Extensibility & Partnerships at Wiz. "By combining Wiz's end-to-end visibility with Cloudflare's edge protections, we close a critical gap in how AI risk is managed. This partnership gives organizations a unified view of AI application endpoints and shared risk context, helping them stop threats like prompt injection and shadow AI before they start."

Key Capabilities of the Integration

Cloudflare's partnership with Wiz empowers customers to:

  • Discover Shadow AI: Identify all LLM endpoints across web properties, including ones deployed without security team involvement, and understand which are protected and which are exposed.

  • Inspect AI Traffic In Real Time: Cloudflare AI Security for Apps runs detections on every request to LLM endpoints to identify and mitigate PII leakage, prompt injection, and custom-defined topics. These detections run in parallel across Cloudflare's global network without adding latency.

  • Map Sensitive Data Flows: Wiz maps data flows between AI applications, models, and data stores onto its Security Graph, giving security teams visibility into where sensitive data interacts with AI workloads.

  • Verify Guardrails: Wiz verifies that AI deployments are protected by Cloudflare's AI Security for Apps. If guardrails are missing or misconfigured, Wiz alerts teams for direct remediation within the Cloudflare platform.

  • Prioritize Remediation: The integration surfaces which unprotected AI endpoints have access to sensitive data or production systems, so security teams fix the highest-risk gaps first.

Seamless Integration and Global Scale

The partnership delivers a seamless integration without needing custom workflows or additional agents to deploy. Cloudflare's detections run inline on its global network, one of the largest and most interconnected in the world, so organizations gain AI security without architectural changes or performance trade-offs.
