Case Study: Blackstone strengthens cloud-native security with Wiz

Blackstone tackles advanced cloud-native security with Wiz

Blackstone, the global alternative asset manager, was expanding its use of AWS and needed a cloud-native security approach that could identify and prioritize real risks across a complex environment. Its Security team wanted to cover multiple use cases with one platform—posture management, breach path detection, vulnerability scanning, secrets management, and container management—while avoiding a patchwork of tools and minimizing reliance on agents. They turned to Wiz Cloud for a more risk-centric approach to cloud security.

Wiz delivered an agentless, unified cloud security platform that combined CSPM, CWPP, and advanced cloud risk analysis to correlate issues across Blackstone’s cloud stack. By using Wiz’s Security Graph and network and identity exposure engines, Blackstone gained faster visibility into toxic risk combinations, improved breach-path analysis, and support for custom use cases like private network exposure through transit gateways. The result was a foundational cloud security solution that helped Blackstone secure its cloud migration and make better remediation decisions with minimal involvement from the security team.
