Its major product lines encompass Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), Cloud Workload Protection (CWPP), Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), runtime protection, and threat detection and response. The company is notable for its rapid growth and widespread adoption, serving approximately 45% of Fortune 100 companies.

In terms of patent litigation, Wiz, Inc. demonstrates the posture of an operating company defending its intellectual property. The company has been named as a defendant in all four tracked cases, with zero instances as a plaintiff. All recorded cases are before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

Notable cases include challenges brought by Orca Security Ltd. against Wiz Inc. before the PTAB. These cases, occurring in 2025, indicate competitive activity where a rival entity is seeking to challenge the validity of patents associated with Wiz. The company's recent acquisition by Google Cloud highlights its significant position in the cybersecurity market.
