EPAM Systems has joined the Wiz Partner Alliance as part of a collaboration with Wiz focused on helping organizations turn cloud risk intelligence into continuous, AI-powered remediation across complex multi-cloud environments.

The collaboration combines Wiz’s AI Application Protection Platform (AI-APP) with EPAM’s AI-native engineering and cloud modernization capabilities. The companies said the relationship will help organizations identify, prioritize and address critical risks across applications, infrastructure and operating environments with an emphasis on addressing root causes rather than stopping at risk detection.

“Cloud security does not end with identifying risk, as organizations need the engineering capability to act on that intelligence across complex applications and infrastructure,” said Alexandros Katsioulis, Head of Alphabet Business and Google Global Business Group at EPAM. “By combining Wiz’s contextual risk intelligence with EPAM’s engineering and modernization expertise, we help clients address root causes, strengthen operational resilience and move forward with cloud and AI transformation more confidently.”

Applying Cloud Risk Intelligence to Engineering

Wiz AI-APP, powered by the Wiz Security Graph, provides a contextualized view of cloud assets, configurations, relationships and attack paths across code, cloud, runtime, AI applications, SaaS and custom-hosted environments.

EPAM said it will apply that intelligence within cloud modernization and security programs spanning Google Cloud, AWS, Microsoft Azure and other cloud environments. The goal is to help organizations operationalize a continuous cloud security process from identifying risks through remediation.

The collaboration formalizes work already underway, with EPAM delivering Wiz implementation programs for enterprise organizations across industries including media and entertainment, transportation and logistics, life sciences and healthcare, financial services, automotive and retail and consumer goods.

“With cloud and AI driving the next wave of enterprise innovation, Wiz is dedicated to helping organizations build fast without compromising security,” said Nick Ross, VP of EMEA & LATAM Channels & Alliances at Wiz. “EPAM brings valuable expertise to the Wiz Partner Alliance, and together, we’ll help ensure our customers can scale securely in the cloud.”

As part of the collaboration, EPAM will use findings from the Wiz platform to inform application modernization, cloud architecture and remediation efforts.

White Hat, an EPAM company, will add an offensive-security layer using defensive, offensive and incident response experts to assess whether identified weaknesses can be exploited. The companies said this will help clients distinguish potential exposure from risks requiring immediate engineering action.

“Security should not be measured by the number of vulnerabilities found. It should be measured by the reduction of exploitable risk,” said Eugene Dzihanau, Head of Cybersecurity Practice at EPAM.

“Wiz provides the system of record for security risk and EPAM provides the operating model that continuously drives that risk down. Together, we help clients move from visibility to remediation and from remediation to sustained cyber resilience.”

AI Agents Support Security Workflows

Wiz’s AI agents add an automated workflow layer to the platform’s cloud security capabilities.

Red Agent helps validate potentially exploitable paths across the external attack surface while Green Agent supports root-cause remediation. Blue Agent helps investigate runtime threats and assess potential impact.

EPAM said it will integrate these capabilities into broader engineering and modernization programs alongside its internal implementation of Wiz technologies.

“Identifying a vulnerability is not the same as proving that it can be exploited or containing an attack once someone has already exploited the vulnerability,” said Aviv Srour, Head of Cyber Innovation at EPAM. “Wiz Red Agent brings an attacker’s view of the external attack surface, while EPAM and White Hat bring the red team and incident response depth to validate it against real adversary tactics, techniques and procedures and strengthen cyber resilience for clients.”
