SentinelOne and Wiz in a confused spat

Recently Wiz mentioned that it was considering buying cloudy security outfit SentinelOne, but now it seems the pair  are at war.

SentinelOne said that it had terminated its exclusive partnership with Wiz due to “lack of execution” by the cloud security firm and failed to mention anything to do with a takeover.

The dark satanic rumour mill suggests that the venture-backed Wiz’s comments had miffed SentinelOne’s leadership to the point it wanted to axe the six-month-old collaboration.

In the statemen,  SentinelOne said it “terminated its re-sell agreement with Wiz as a result of their continued lack of execution against their commitments.”

Additionally, “the Wiz partnership has not been material to our business,” SentinelOne said in the statement.

The partnership included an integration between SentinelOne’s cloud workload protection platform and complementary capabilities from Wiz, including its widely used cloud security posture management technology.

 

 

 

Noname teams up with Wiz

Noname Security has partnered with Wiz to help customers improve security by enabling complete visibility, context, and control of infrastructure hosting mission-critical and highly sensitive APIs to minimise and remediate risk.

According to Battery Venture’s March 2023 State of Cloud Software Spending, cloud infrastructure, data warehouse, and enterprise security investments are top spending priorities for CXOs in 2023, followed closely by automation, which has significantly increased in priority from the third quarter 2022 to first quarter 2023. With the rise in enterprise security and automation investments comes a reliance on APIs, that power modern applications and provide the connective tissue to tie the digitised world together. 

Isolated cloud spotted by Wiz

Cybersecurity firm Wiz has found another major vulnerability within a popular cloud-storage environment.

After identifying multiple security vulnerabilities in Microsoft’s heavily used Azure cloud services, Wiz researchers are now saying they recently found a “critical vulnerability” in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) that could have allowed “unauthorised access to cloud storage volumes of any customer.”

Wiz said the vulnerability was spotted in June and quickly fixed within 24 hours by Oracle, and was  one of the most severe cloud vulnerabilities reported.
