TLDR: Wiz has introduced new AI-powered security agents, the Issues Agent and SecOps Agent, designed to enhance cybersecurity operations by mimicking human investigation, accelerating threat response, and streamlining remediation. These agents aim to provide security teams with more context, precision, and scalability in managing cloud security risks.
In a significant advancement for cloud security, Wiz, a prominent cybersecurity firm, announced the launch of its new AI-powered security agents, the Issues Agent and SecOps Agent, on November 4, 2025. These agents are engineered to give AI security tools a ‘persona makeover’ by emulating human investigation processes, thereby enhancing their capabilities in detecting, analyzing, and responding to threats.
The Issues Agent is designed to bridge the gap between detection and resolution. It connects findings, ownership, and impact, guiding security teams toward the most efficient paths to fix critical issues. By cutting through noise and clarifying ownership, this agent aims to accelerate progress towards achieving ‘Zero Criticals.’ Users can access its insights directly from any issue, where it automatically evaluates remediation paths and highlights recommended actions and owners. Further AI-driven exploration allows teams to delve into dependencies, confirm ownership, or preview optimal remediation sequences.
The SecOps Agent focuses on empowering Security Operations Center (SOC) teams to investigate and respond to threats with unprecedented speed. It performs a comprehensive, human-like investigation by automatically analyzing every threat within an environment. This includes gathering context, evaluating evidence, and producing a clear verdict with a confidence level and detailed reasoning. The agent triages new or updated threats, analyzing detection data, timeline details, involved entities, and related cloud activity, while also retrieving additional Wiz context such such as past detections, cloud events, resource metadata, and risk findings. This initial triage and investigation free up SOC teams to concentrate their expertise on more complex threats requiring deeper human analysis.

According to Wiz, these agents represent the initial phase of a broader evolution of AI within their platform. They are described as the ‘first of many purpose-built Agents that will extend across code, risk, and threat domains — each designed to help teams act faster and with greater confidence.’ The company emphasizes that the true value of AI-powered security lies in its ability to help teams work smarter, providing more context, enabling precise actions, and scaling security operations without introducing friction. Built on the Wiz Security Graph, these AI agents integrate explainable, high-quality context directly into security workflows across code, cloud, and runtime environments, powering every stage of the security lifecycle.
