Ask HN: How did Wiz.io grow so fast? I am an operator in the startup space growing at what I think is fast (200%/year), but then I see companies like wiz.io get to 100M revenue in 18 months? Even with VC money, that is incredible. Does anyone have any inside story as to how this happened? |
In my 20yrs of experience, Wiz is one of the best "off the shelf" cloud security tools you can buy and possibly the best ever made.
I don't work for Wiz, but I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone shopping for a solution off the shelf.

imho this is was caused by horrible change/patch management from the clients/businesses. Any company that has the mentality to test it's critical updates (Adobe Acrobat v2025-July - not critical, AV, sec-patches, and other stuff that run as "System" - super critical).
And/or/but/so yes, if you blindly push updates that could cripple your machines, you are doing a coin-toss, and sometimes it lands on the wrong side.
It’s pretty hard to maintain engineering and operational excellence with that kind of growth.
