What Wiz does
Wiz operates a subscription-based enterprise software model centred on a cloud security platform. It creates value by consolidating multiple cloud security functions into one console, correlating security data across code, infrastructure, identity, data and runtime, and prioritising exploitable risks for faster remediation. Customers adopt the platform to reduce tool sprawl, improve visibility across multi-cloud estates and automate security operations. Growth is driven by module expansion within existing accounts, enterprise-wide deployments and product capability expansion through acquisitions.
Category differentiation
Wiz is an enterprise cloud security software company, not a consumer app, advertising platform or media business. It is distinct from general observability or APM vendors because its core function is cloud security, risk prioritisation and remediation.

Financials · Recorded impact score: 3/5
Snyk, the cybersecurity firm co-founded in London and Tel Aviv, laid off over 200 employees in June 2026, more than double the initial reports of 90.

The reduction in force represents about 20% of its global workforce, impacting employees in the US and Israel, with a financial charge of up to $13.8 million. Despite the layoffs, Snyk's revenues grew 11% to $309 million in the fiscal year ending 2025, attributed to new customer wins. However, losses increased from $169 million to $189 million due to higher investments. The company, now headquartered in Boston, has raised over $1 billion from investors including Tiger Global and was valued at $8.5 billion in 2021.
