The Wiz Runtime Sensor is a lightweight eBPF-based agent for Linux and Kubernetes, enabling real-time visibility and detection of malicious behavior in workloads.
As a part of Wiz's CNAPP Solution, the Runtime Sensor enables organizations to create a defense in depth strategy that covers prevention, monitoring, and response for the full protection of cloud workloads.
Organizations no longer have to choose between siloed technologies, they can now have the best visibility, risk assessment, and real-time protection and threat detection in a single platform.

See Legacy AWS Free Tier for more details.
The Wiz Runtime Sensor is offered at no cost, with two hourly dimensions tied to EC2 instance types: t2.micro and m1.medium. These are not tiers or feature levels. Each dimension matches the EC2 instance on which you run the sensor, so you select based on the host size you deploy. Both options bill by the hour and carry no charge. The sensor provides runtime workload protection for virtual machines, containerized environments, and serverless containers. You pay nothing for either instance type under this listing.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does the t2.micro or m1.medium dimension represent for billing?
Each dimension maps to the EC2 instance type where you run the sensor. The name reflects the host machine's size, not a feature level. You pick the dimension that matches your deployed instance. Both carry no software charge and meter by the hour.
Am I charged when the instance running the sensor is stopped?
The sensor software carries no charge on either dimension, so stopping an instance does not create a software fee. Underlying AWS compute or storage costs for the EC2 instance itself are separate and governed by standard AWS billing, not this listing.
What does the Runtime Sensor protect once deployed?
The sensor provides runtime workload protection. It monitors virtual machines, containerized environments, and serverless containers. It uses eBPF-powered signals to detect and block threats in real time. These capabilities apply the same way under both the t2.micro and m1.medium dimensions.

Wiz Delivers Clear, Actionable Cloud Risk Visibility and Faster Prioritization
Reviewed on Oct 28, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Wiz is its centralized visibility into cloud security risks across our environment. The ability to correlate vulnerabilities, cloud assets, misconfigurations, and exposure paths in one platform makes security investigations and risk prioritization much more efficient.
The security graph and contextual risk insights are particularly valuable because they help distinguish genuinely exploitable, internet-exposed risks from findings with limited exposure. This reduces unnecessary noise and allows us to focus on remediation efforts where they matter most.
I also appreciate the intuitive dashboard, detailed asset inventory, and actionable findings, which make it easier to collaborate with Infrastructure, DevOps, and engineering teams. Overall, Wiz has significantly improved how we investigate cloud vulnerabilities, assess business exposure, and communicate remediation priorities.
What do you dislike about the product?
The volume of findings can sometimes make prioritizing challenging, especially across inactive or non-internet-facing resources. Improved filtering, deduplication, and customizable reporting would help reduce noise and streamline vulnerability management and remediation tracking.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wiz provides centralized visibility into cloud assets, vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and potential attack paths. It helps us assess actual security exposure, prioritize critical risks, and reduce manual investigation efforts. This improves remediation efficiency, strengthens cloud security posture, and enables better collaboration between Security, DevOps, and Infrastructure teams.

What do you like best about the product?
Great visibility into threat detections and vulnerabilities. Helps prioritize cloud security risks effectively.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some findings require manual investigation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wiz helps us identify and prioritize cloud vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and potential attack paths in a single platform. This improves threat visibility, reduces investigation time, and enables our SOC team to focus on high-risk issues and respond more effectively to security threats.

Outstanding Agentless Visibility for Container and Kubernetes Security
Reviewed on Oct 28, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Wiz provides outstanding visibility into our containerized environments, scanning images and Kubernetes clusters seamlessly without requiring cumbersome in-container agents. Its Security Graph connects container vulnerabilities directly to cluster misconfigurations and network exposures, pinpointing true runtime risk instead of flooding us with CVE noise. This unified context makes securing our CI/CD pipelines and production Kubernetes workloads fast, intuitive, and highly actionable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Managing posture across highly dynamic, ephemeral container workloads can generate significant alert churn if initial scope rules aren't tuned carefully.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wiz solves the challenge of container blind spots and Kubernetes configuration drift across multi-cloud environments. Instead of treating container images and cluster security as isolated problems, Wiz maps container vulnerabilities, exposed pod ports, and overly permissive Kubernetes RBAC roles into a single interactive graph. This benefits our team by eliminating the need to deploy and manage heavy sidecar agents, giving developers clear remediation steps before code hits production, and significantly reducing container-to-cluster breakout risks.
