Verdict

Operating-company assertion

The patent is currently assigned to Wiz Inc., an active cybersecurity company that develops and markets cloud security platforms. The only recorded assignment is from the inventors to Wiz Inc. (Reel 063344/0046, recorded 2024-02-26), indicating direct ownership by an operating company. While there are mentions of litigation in Google Patents, this does not contradict Wiz Inc. being an operating company asserting its own intellectual property.
