Wiz protects your cloud. Securie protects your code. Most teams need both.
Wiz is cloud-posture-management; it scans your AWS/GCP/Azure for misconfig + IAM drift. It does NOT scan your code at PR time. Securie's role is the code + PR + deploy layer Wiz doesn't cover.
Wiz buyers wanting an alternative usually got told 'Wiz handles security' and discovered the cloud-posture surface doesn't include code. The right answer is both: Wiz for cloud, Securie for code.
Why people leave Wiz
- Wiz doesn't scan code at PR time
- No Supabase RLS specialist
- No auto-fix PR — finds cloud misconfig, you fix it
- Enterprise pricing prohibitive for indie + startup tiers
Where Wiz actually breaks down
No code scanning at PR time
Example: Wiz scans deployed cloud config; the PR that introduced the bug is invisible.
Impact: Bugs found post-deploy = expensive rollback or live patching.
No specialist depth on AI-built apps
Example: Supabase RLS + BOLA + Lovable-pattern bugs aren't in Wiz's rule set.
Impact: April 2026 wave bugs ship under Wiz coverage.
Enterprise-only pricing
Example: $60K+ ARR typical.
Impact: Indie + startup tiers can't access.
Cloud-only posture
Example: Wiz's CSPM is excellent for AWS/GCP/Azure but doesn't cover application code or PR-time decisions.
Impact: Different layer — needs different tool.
Why Securie instead
Code-side coverage Wiz doesn't have
Securie reads every PR; Wiz reads cloud config. Different layers, complementary.
AI-built-app specialist depth
Wiz's cloud-posture rules don't catch Supabase RLS or BOLA on browser-to-REST.
Auto-fix PR + attestation chain
Wiz finds; you fix. Securie finds + fixes + signs the attestation.
Feature matrix — Wiz vs Securie
| Area | Wiz | Securie |
|---|---|---|
| Cloud posture (AWS/GCP/Azure) | Excellent — their core | Read-role inventory only — partner with Wiz |
| Code scanning at PR time | No | Yes — specialist fleet |
| Supabase RLS specialist | No | Yes |
| Sandbox-verified findings | No | Yes — prove-don't-flag |
| Auto-fix PR | No | Yes |
| Attestation chain | Limited | DSSE + Sigstore rekor |
| Pricing — Indie | N/A | $12/mo |
| Pricing — Enterprise | $60K+ ARR | Custom |
The deeper tradeoff
Wiz is the cloud-posture leader for a reason: their agentless scanning across AWS / GCP / Azure produces best-in-class IAM drift, public-resource detection, and lateral-movement analysis. The thesis works — at scale, with budget, for cloud infrastructure. The gap surfaces when buyers think 'Wiz = security' and learn the code-side surface is uncovered.
The code surface is where AI-built-app bugs are introduced. Lovable's BOLA breach, Supabase RLS misconfig, .claude/ credential leaks, prompt-injection attacks — none of these are visible to Wiz because they live in code, not cloud config. The April 2026 incident wave demonstrated this gap concretely: Wiz's cloud posture scanning ran alongside the affected apps + missed every code-side bug.
Securie's role is the code-side layer. Different tools, different surfaces, complementary. Wiz for cloud, Securie for code, both cover the full surface.
The pricing dimension is also relevant: Wiz's enterprise-only ARR puts it out of reach for the indie + startup segment that produces the highest AI-built-app bug volume per dev-hour. Securie's tier ladder reaches that segment directly.
Pricing
Wiz: enterprise pricing ($60K+ ARR typical). Securie: $12-$299/mo for indie+startup.
Migration path
- Keep Wiz for cloud posture
- Add Securie GitHub App + Vercel deploy-gate
- Run Wiz on infra + Securie on code; both surfaces are covered
Extended migration playbook
Step 1: Keep Wiz for cloud
What: No change to Wiz deployment.
Why: Wiz's cloud-posture coverage is best-in-class.
Gotchas: Don't re-scope Wiz to cover code — it's the wrong tool for that layer.
Step 2: Add Securie GitHub App
What: Install on every repo.
Why: Securie's PR-time specialist fleet covers the code-side gap.
Gotchas: Configure branch protection to require Securie's check before merge.
Step 3: Add Securie deploy-gate
What: Vercel / Netlify / Cloudflare integration.
Why: Closes 'merged-but-not-deployed' gap.
Gotchas: Fail-closed on unknown SHA.
Pick Securie if…
Code + PR + deploy security for AI-built apps.
Stay with Wiz if…
Cloud-posture + IAM + workload protection at scale.
Common questions during evaluation
Why isn't Wiz enough?
Wiz scans cloud config. AI-built-app bugs are in code. Different layers.
Should I run both?
Yes — most teams do. Wiz for cloud + Securie for code = full coverage.
Is Securie a Wiz competitor?
Different categories. Wiz is CSPM; Securie is AppSec/AI-AppSec. Complementary, not competitive.
Can Securie do cloud posture too?
Securie has read-role cloud adapters (AWS/GCP/Azure inventory) but Wiz's CSPM is deeper. We'd recommend Wiz for the CSPM layer.
How do I budget both?
Wiz's enterprise pricing covers cloud-side; Securie's tier ladder ($12-299) covers code-side. The combined cost is meaningfully less than enterprise-only AppSec tools (Veracode / Checkmarx).
What about runtime?
Securie's runtime-sidecar (eBPF) covers customer-app runtime; Wiz's runtime is workload-protection. Different scopes.
Verdict
Wiz is best-in-class for cloud-posture. It is not an AppSec / code-security tool. Securie is purpose-built for the code + PR + deploy layer Wiz doesn't cover. Most teams need both — and the combined cost is often less than a single enterprise-only AppSec tool.
