How the Wiz Red Agent caught a Fortune 500 firm’s data exposure (that other tools missed)
Wiz says Red Agent found a public sensitive-data page at an unnamed Fortune 500 financial firm.
Wiz published a customer case study saying its Red Agent found a publicly reachable web page exposing sensitive business-unit data at an unnamed Fortune 500 financial-services firm. The company said no other tool in its stack detected the page, and Wiz classified the data, rated severity, and redacted raw values before alerting. The exposure was understood and remediated the same day. The post contrasts the agent with DSPM and signature-based attack-surface scanners and cites Wiz Research claiming about 78% of high and critical exploitable cloud risks involve information disclosure, leaked credentials, or excessive access.

Traditional DSPM and classification tools scan from the inside out. Thinking like an attacker, the Red Agent found a public page exposing sensitive data in minutes.
