Google Security Command Center is positioned as the included native floor, while Wiz and Sysdig top the weighted scores at 4.50, followed by Prisma Cloud at 4.40. The piece notes Forseti is deprecated and that Lacework is now Fortinet's FortiCNAPP, and flags diligence around Google's acquisition of Wiz.
