Last reviewed: September 2026

  • Whole environment
  • Above your stack
  • Human approval on every action
Executive summary

The short version

Choose Secure.com if you want one governed team across offense and defense, acting over your whole environment, not cloud security on its own.

Key finding

Wiz is the leading cloud security platform. Its Security Graph connects code, cloud, and runtime into deep context, prioritizes real attack paths, and adds cloud detection and response, agentless and fast. Secure.com is a governed team of AI Teammates. The Red Teammate actively exploits to prove what an attacker reaches, the SOC Teammate runs live response across your whole environment, and the Cloud and AppSec Teammates harden and fix, every consequential action under your approval. In Secure.com's buyer research, grunt work surfaced in 10 of 14 interviews.

Your team sets the rules. The Teammate works inside them.

Who each option is for

Choose Secure.com if

  • You want one governed team across offense and defense, not cloud security on its own.
  • You want offense that actively exploits to prove risk, feeding live response across your whole environment.
  • You want AI Teammates that execute under approval above your stack, starting with one.

Choose Wiz if

  • You want the leading cloud security platform, with deep code-to-cloud-to-runtime context in one graph.
  • Agentless posture, entitlements, data, and workload security across AWS, Azure, and GCP is the priority.
  • You want cloud risk prioritized by real attack paths, with cloud detection and response built in.
Why the category falls short

Why cloud security isn't the whole picture

Deep cloud context, prioritized by real attack paths, is a genuine advantage, and Wiz leads at it. But an attacker crosses more than the cloud, and acting on risk is a different job from seeing it. The gaps show up fast.

  • Cloud is one domain.

    A cloud platform secures your cloud. Endpoints, identities, and on-prem still need coverage, and the attacker crosses all of them.

  • Context, not active exploitation.

    A graph maps attack paths from configuration and context. It does not actively exploit to prove what a real attacker reaches end to end.

  • Cloud response, not the whole SOC.

    Even with cloud detection and response, triaging and responding across every source in your environment is a broader job.

  • One domain, not one team.

    Cloud security is a specialist platform. Offense across the attack surface and defense across the stack still need owners.

AI Teammates attack your defenses, harden what they find, and hand your team back hundreds of hours every month.

The difference in practice

What gaps Secure.com fills

  1. One team across offense and defense

    The Red, SOC, AppSec, and Cloud Teammates work one shared context together. Wiz is the leading cloud security platform.

  2. The whole environment, not cloud only

    The Teammates work across cloud, endpoints, identities, and on-prem. Wiz is cloud-native and does not cover on-prem.

  3. Active exploitation, not graph analysis

    The Red Teammate exploits to prove what an attacker actually reaches. Wiz maps attack paths from context in its Security Graph.

  4. Response across the whole environment

    The SOC Teammate triages and responds across every source, not cloud alone. Wiz Defend delivers cloud detection and response.

  5. Governed execution, start with one

    Fixes and responses run behind an approval gate; you start with one Teammate. Wiz is a cloud platform you adopt across your estate.

Add the team without rebuilding your stack

You don't replace your cloud security to start. You add one Teammate to the tools you already run and expand only once it earns the next step.

  1. Find the right starting point

    A security context discovery maps your environment and recommends the first Teammate to deploy.

  2. Reach first value with experts

    Expert Activation configures and tunes the first Teammate against a guaranteed time to value.

  3. Keep your stack

    200+ integrations mean no rip and replace of the SIEM, EDR, IAM, or cloud tools you already run.

  4. Expand when ready

    Add Teammates across offense and defense as trust and ROI are established.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Secure.com's SOC Teammate act without human approval?
No. Every consequential action passes an approval gate you configure before it runs. Lower risk work proceeds within the policy you set. Nothing executes on the Teammate's judgment alone, and every action is logged.
How is this different from a cloud security platform?
A cloud security platform gives you deep cloud context and prioritizes cloud risk, and some now respond in the cloud. Secure.com is a team across offense and defense: it actively exploits to prove risk, responds across your whole environment, and executes fixes under the approval rules you set.
Do we have to replace our current tools?
No. Secure.com sits above your existing stack through 200+ integrations across SIEM, EDR, IAM, cloud, and ticketing. You start with one Teammate on the tools you already run.
