Pioneering Cloud Security Integration

Contrast Security’s partnership with Wiz, formalized through the WIN program launched in 2023, integrates Contrast’s runtime security capabilities with Wiz’s CNAPP. This bi-directional integration, leveraging the Wiz API, allows Contrast to feed application-level runtime vulnerabilities into Wiz, providing precise visibility into cloud environments. “We’re honored to receive the WINergy Award. It reflects the real value our partnership with Wiz brings to customers,” said Faya Peng, General Manager of Application Detection and Response and Head of Product at Contrast Security.

Key Benefits for Mutual Customers

The integration delivers significant advantages for joint customers:

  • Contextualized Vulnerability Information: Contrast’s runtime findings pinpoint application-layer vulnerabilities within Wiz, enhancing prioritization and response accuracy.

  • Comprehensive Vulnerability Management: Application vulnerability data integrates with Wiz Code, centralizing management efforts for a unified view of cloud and application risks.

  • Faster Time to Remediation: By reducing false positives, Contrast enables rapid risk assessment and remediation, streamlining security workflows.

These features empower security and cloud teams to collaborate effectively, addressing risks across the CI/CD pipeline. “The partnership between Contrast Security and Wiz is a win for our joint customers,” said Oron Noah, VP of Product Extensibility & Partnerships at Wiz.

Setting a New Standard

The WIN ecosystem, now surpassing 200 partners, sets an industry benchmark for integrated cloud security. Contrast’s contribution, recognized through the WINergy Award, underscores its commitment to innovation and customer success. By embedding code analysis and attack prevention into software, Contrast enhances Wiz’s ability to deliver real-time, context-specific vulnerability management, reducing noise and focusing on critical risks.

Industry Impact

Contrast’s integration with Wiz, which began as a launch partnership in June 2023, has evolved to provide comprehensive visibility into application vulnerabilities, as announced in March 2025. This collaboration addresses the growing challenge of application-layer attacks, which are increasingly exploited due to blind spots and false positives in traditional approaches. The WINergy Award reflects Contrast’s role in shaping a collaborative, customer-focused cloud security ecosystem, with plans for further advancements in 2025.
