Cloud security needs to keep pace with artificial intelligence innovation

As organizations scale artificial intelligence across multi-cloud environments, traditional security approaches can´t keep up. A new model promises agile, full-stack protection that empowers innovation.

With nearly 90% of large organizations in Asia Pacific now adopting multi-cloud strategies, the race to embed artificial intelligence innovation is on. These environments unlock new agility and scalability, yet their complexity brings formidable security challenges. Chief information officers and their teams face a paradox: the need for both rapid transformation and resilient, secure infrastructure. Legacy security tools struggle to keep up. As developers deploy artificial intelligence solutions at an unprecedented pace, security teams are outmatched by the fragmented visibility and inconsistent controls that often result. Risks abound—governance gaps, disconnected defenses, and skill shortages in developer ranks threaten to derail innovation. Foundry’s 2024 Security Priorities Study underscores these concerns, naming cloud infrastructure and sensitive data protection as top focuses for regional leaders in 2025.

Recognizing this gap, Wiz—working alongside Amazon Web Services—offers a new model for securing AI-native, multi-cloud operations. The Wiz platform enables full-stack, real-time visibility across all AWS layers, from virtual machines and containers to serverless and data services, with its Security Graph surfacing context-rich insights in minutes. Crucially, Wiz extends its monitoring to shadow artificial intelligence deployments, detecting generative artificial intelligence tools even when they circumvent formal processes. Through its AI Bill of Materials feature, organizations gain the visibility needed for risk management at the earliest stages.

Wiz’s risk prioritization engine helps cut through the noise, ranking threats by exposure, exploitability, and business impact to combat alert fatigue and direct teams’ resources to where they matter most. Deep AWS integration enables enriched telemetry from services such as GuardDuty, CloudTrail, and Security Hub, which is pivotal for smarter decision-making and response. For enterprises undertaking cloud migrations or modernizations—including scenarios involving mergers and acquisitions—the platform’s agentless approach accelerates assessments, remediation, and secure consolidation. Asia Pacific case studies, such as Ansarada and Handshakes, illustrate notable gains: a holistic cloud view, built-in compliance, and greater empowerment for IT teams to address risks proactively, even as the business rapidly evolves.

Wiz also positions itself as a foundation for secure artificial intelligence innovation. Teams leveraging AWS tools to build and deploy artificial intelligence services benefit from safeguards that enforce best practices, automatically detect misconfigurations, and close exposure pathways. Features like automated security awareness training and due diligence support during M&A via Amazon Bedrock further accelerate the modernization journey. Notably, organizations employing Wiz report releasing products three times faster, are ten times more efficient in resolving high-priority risks, and see a fivefold improvement in visibility across their artificial intelligence workloads. For technology leaders, this marks a strategic inflection point, enabling innovation at speed without the perennial trade-off of added risk.
