Wiz assists Incident Response (IR) and SOC teams with containment through automated assessment of security incidents by identifying possible root causes and calculating the potential blast radius of compromised resources. In the context of cloud security, Incident Response (IR) teams face the daunting task of swiftly detecting, analyzing, and mitigating incidents. For that reason, organizations like SANS and NIST created IR frameworks that help incident responders to speed the process from detecting an incident, through its containment, and eventually recovering from it. When a potential incident occurs, it's crucial to be able to quickly and accurately assess the potential impact of a compromised resource such as a VM or container and pinpoint the root cause of the incident (how the attacker got in). It's also important to understand what potential next steps a malicious user can (and cannot) take. This will help you secure your crown jewels and move quickly to an efficient containmen
