As AI evolves at a fierce speed, attackers evolve alongside it. Vibe coding, AI agents, and prompt-based attacks lead businesses to new vulnerabilities every day. There is pressure for cybersecurity tools to keep pace. Also, startups are seizing that moment. Few people have grown as fast as Wiz.

AI tools help developers build faster, but by default they write more vulnerable code, and attackers are already taking advantage of these weaknesses at scale.
