How the Wiz Red Agent caught a Fortune 500 firm’s data exposure (that other tools missed)

Wiz's Red Agent tool identified a sensitive data exposure on a public web page for a Fortune 500 company, accomplishing the discovery in minutes using an attacker-focused approach. The tool succeeded where traditional data security posture management (DSPM) and classification tools had failed by scanning from an external perspective rather than relying on internal scanning methods.

Why it matters: Security teams and practitioners using standard DSPM tools need to know that external, attacker-centric vulnerability scanning can reveal exposures that internal-only approaches miss, affecting any organization with public web assets.
