Revenue Model & Pricing
Wiz sells its platform as annual software subscriptions to enterprises and public-sector organizations. Pricing is tied to the size of the cloud estate being protected, such as the number of workloads, and customers can add modules for code scanning (Wiz Code), cloud detection and response (Wiz Defend), and runtime protection. Contracts are sold directly and through the cloud marketplaces of AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. Since March 2026 Wiz's results are reported within Alphabet's Google Cloud segment rather than separately.

Growth Strategy
Wiz has grown by expanding from cloud posture management into adjacent products: code and pipeline scanning, runtime sensors, cloud detection and response, and AI security posture management. It bought companies to speed this up, including Raftt (2023), Gem Security (2024), and Dazz (2024). Since the acquisition, its growth plan centers on selling through Google Cloud's enterprise channels while keeping its own brand and multi-cloud coverage.
