Israeli-founded cybersecurity companies have developed products for finding and managing risks across cloud infrastructure. Wiz, founded in 2020, describes its platform as an agentless, graph-based cloud-native application protection platform. Check Point has expanded into cloud security through products and acquisitions, including Dome9.
Wiz maps cloud resources and their risks
Cloud systems combine virtual machines, containers, serverless services, permissions, and application code. A misconfiguration or exposed credential can become more dangerous when it connects to other weaknesses. Wiz’s Security Graph is designed to show relationships among cloud resources so teams can prioritize combinations of risks and possible attack paths.
Google Cloud’s Wiz case study describes the platform as agentless: it connects to cloud environments through APIs rather than installing agents in each workload. The case study says Wiz inventories resources across virtual machines, containers, and serverless configurations, then provides context to help customers decide what to address. That approach is useful for organizations managing multiple cloud providers, where teams need a broad view without deploying and maintaining software on every resource.
Wiz began in Israel in 2020. Google announced an agreement to acquire the company in 2025 and announced completion in 2026. Its completion announcement says the Wiz brand would remain and its team would join Google Cloud.
Check Point’s cloud security expansion
Check Point began with network security and later broadened its product range as enterprise systems changed. Its company timeline records the 2018 acquisition of Dome9, a cloud security posture management company. Check Point’s published milestones place that acquisition within a sequence of additions to its security portfolio.
Cloud security covers several related tasks: identifying misconfigurations, assessing exposure, controlling access, protecting applications, and responding to threats. Products address different parts of this work, including posture management, access control, application protection, and threat response.
Why visibility matters
Cloud infrastructure can change quickly as developers create services and connect workloads. Inventory and relationship mapping help security teams find exposed resources and understand whether a weakness is reachable or connected to sensitive data. Tools can surface risks, but organizations must still decide which findings matter, fix configuration problems, and manage access.
