Use the Wiz App for the Slack AI Assistant

• Get Visibility to Your Cloud Security Posture With Wiz for Slack AI Assistant - Users can ask questions about how Wiz secures their cloud environment, e.g. “Can you explain to me how Wiz discovers issues in my environment? or “How does the Wiz runtime sensor detect threats in real-time?” to get better visibility quicker than ever!

• Discover New Features And How to Use Them - Users can ask, “What are the latest features added?” and instantly get an overview of new releases with links to the relevant documentation for more details. Users can then as “How do I configure notifications?” and receive step-by-step guidance with links to the specific setup page in the docs.

• Following Best Practices - Users can ask, “How can I effectively use Remediation & Response?” and receive expert recommendations along with links to relevant documentation for optimized workflows.

The app uses Large Language Model to customers via Slack which includes a potential to generate inaccurate responses.

Organizations need a quick and effective way to communicate critical security Issues. The Wiz and Slack integration automates notifications for high-priority threats, enabling teams to collaborate and resolve issues faster within Slack. 

Challenge

Delayed and Fragmented Security Communication 

• Delayed Responses: Without automated notifications, security Issues may not reach the right teams in time, increasing the risk of breaches. 

• Fragmented Tools: Switching between platforms for communication and security management slows response times and creates inefficiencies. 

• Lack of Context: Security alerts without detailed context force teams to spend additional time triaging and understanding issues. 

Solution

Streamlined Security Communication with Wiz and Slack 

The Wiz and Slack integration solves these challenges by enabling automated, contextual security alerts directly in Slack: 

• Automatically send alerts for critical Issues, such as toxic combinations or high-risk misconfigurations, to designated Slack channels. 

• Customize notifications to include relevant details, such as Issue severity, affected resources, and remediation steps. 

• Use Slack as a central hub for collaboration, allowing teams to discuss and resolve Issues without switching platforms. 

• Automate workflows to ensure consistent and timely communication for all relevant security events.
