Wiz launches Red Agent and Blue Agent AI tools for pre-breach alerts and SOC investigation
Wiz published a vendor blog post presenting two AI agents for SOC teams: the Red Agent, an AI-powered pentester that finds and validates exploitable risk before attackers do, and the Blue Agent, an AI investigator for active threats. The post argues that AI-assisted development is producing more custom code with logic flaws, such as broken authorization and authentication bypasses, that signature-based scanners miss. It also argues that attackers are using frontier AI models to weaponize vulnerabilities faster. The article is product marketing and reports no specific incident, CVE or threat actor.
Detalhes técnicos
- Red Agent works alongside Wiz ASM to cover known risks (CVEs, misconfigurations) and logic-based flaws in custom applications. Each finding includes proof of exploitability, reproduction steps, blast-radius context from the Security Graph, and owner and remediation guidance from the Green Agent.
- The example finding describes unauthenticated access to a financial services company's production cloud API, which exposed live cloud credentials and the application's full source code.
- Blue Agent combines Security Graph, code-to-cloud and runtime context. Its Forensics sub-agent analyzes evidence captured by the Wiz Sensor at detection time. It shows its reasoning, and Wiz Workflows can automate escalation or containment based on verdict and confidence.
Remediação
The article's pre-breach playbook for a validated exploitable path is:
- Triage (already proven by the Red Agent).
- Scope: hunt for prior use of the exposed credentials from unexpected sources.
- Contain: rotate credentials and restrict the endpoint.
- Hand off the fix to the application owner via the Green Agent.
- Verify: the Red Agent retests to confirm the path is closed.
