Gaining visibility and reducing risks across multi-cloud environments has historically meant sifting through an increasing number of disjointed tools across DevOps, Cloud Security, and the SOC. A scalable, unified approach is needed for visibility across multi-cloud environments, including where AI is being used, and which data AI can access. Join Wiz as we discuss how Google Cloud and Wiz are better together to meet these challenges through the adoption of a Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP).
