Cymulate, a leader in continuous threat exposure management, is joining the Wiz Integration Network (WIN). This network is a growing group of cloud security partners linked to the Wiz cloud security platform. This partnership helps customers from both companies improve and automate their cloud security. They will gain better threat context and ongoing validation.
Cymulate is merging its Continuous Threat Exposure Management Platform with Wiz’s Cloud Security Platform. This helps organizations add security testing and threat simulations to their cloud workflows. This helps organizations better understand risks. It also gives them a stronger way to reduce cloud security exposure.
The News: A New Cloud Security Partnership
Announced in January 2026, Cymulate’s inclusion in the Wiz Integration Network marks an important step in the evolution of cloud security tooling and operations. Through this collaboration:
Joint customers gain automated simulation assessments that can test and validate security controls and policies at various layers of cloud architecture.
Wiz shares prioritized security findings – including verified threat detections and attack details – with Cymulate, creating a unified risk view.
Both tools work together to provide continuous validation of cloud defenses against real-world threats, helping teams measure performance over time and identify drift in security posture.
The partnership’s capabilities extend across major cloud providers, including Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud, making it broadly applicable for enterprises in various stages of cloud maturity.
Why This Matters for the Cloud Security Industry
The adoption of cloud technology is rising at a fast pace as organizations are accelerating their digital transformation and moving their critical workloads out of the traditional data centers. However, with the adoption of cloud technology, the security challenges are also becoming more complex.
Cymulate joining Wiz’s Integration Network reinforces several key trends reshaping the Cloud Security space:
1. Continuous Validation Over Periodic Checks
Conventional security approaches are centered on scanning and compliance checklists. But in the cloud, the situation is dynamic – infrastructure is constantly being spun up and down, policies are in flux, and code is moving at a rapid pace through CI/CD pipelines. By integrating continuous threat testing with validation:
It becomes possible to ensure that controls are actually effective, as opposed to simply being present.
Security teams receive continuous information on risk mitigation and the effectiveness of defenses, rather than just a snapshot in time.
This allows security teams to get ahead of threats, as opposed to simply reacting to them – a shift that many security teams are actively seeking as cloud maturity levels increase.

2. Unified Risk Context and Actionable Insights
Cloud security tools often produce siloed findings: vulnerability scanners, cloud posture management tools, and runtime monitors each have separate views. Integrations like Cymulate + Wiz help unify these insights:
Wiz’s platform aggregates deeper context about cloud risks and exposures across configuration, identity, and runtime layers.
Cymulate injects simulated attack scenarios that test whether those risks can materialize in the wild.
This integrated approach increases both visibility and prioritization, allowing security teams to prioritize efforts on what truly matters most to their business.
3. Automation and Scalability for Modern Environments
With the growth of cloud environments, it is no longer feasible to manually review security. The WIN ecosystem, with its integrations such as Wiz + Cymulate, supports automation in the following ways:
Continuous testing and reporting minimize manual work and improve accuracy.
Automated validation identifies changes in the security posture, even when cloud environments are scaled and evolve.
This is consistent with the industry trend towards DevSecOps and security automation, in which security is integrated into the DevOps pipeline and cloud processes, rather than being an add-on or afterthought.
Effects on Businesses Operating in Cloud Security
The impact of this integration extends well beyond the technical capabilities of the tools themselves – it influences how organizations secure cloud environments and run their security operations:
Improved Threat Resilience
With ongoing validation, organizations are better positioned to:
Identify vulnerabilities in their defenses before being exploited by attackers.
Appreciate their actual security posture relative to actual attack methods.
Provide quantifiable risk mitigation to their stakeholders and auditors.
Each of these points improves resilience and confidence in cloud environments, a critical need as digital infrastructure becomes increasingly business-critical.
Operational Efficiency and Prioritization
Security operations teams are often challenged by alert fatigue and conflicting priorities. By combining contextual insights and simulations:
Security teams can identify the most critical risks.
Automation of workflows minimizes manual analysis and remediation.
This enables faster decision-making and more informed resource allocation, particularly valuable for mid-market companies without extensive SecOps staff.
Stronger Security Culture and Cloud Strategy
As security becomes more integrated with cloud operations:
Cloud and security teams work more closely, adopting shared goals and shared tooling.
Businesses that establish effective continuous validation frameworks can evolve toward proactive, rather than reactive, security postures – a competitive advantage in industries where trust and uptime are essential.
Conclusion
The addition of Cymulate to the Wiz Integration Network significantly strengthens Cloud Security. We focus on integration, automation, and risk validation to address new challenges. As cloud infrastructure grows more complex, cloud security tools need to adapt fast. Cymulate and Wiz show how teamwork drives innovation to tackle these challenges.
