Wiz extends vulnerability scanning support to MacOS instances

Wiz has announced an expansion of its cloud security platform capabilities to include agentless vulnerability scanning for MacOS instances. This update enables customers to detect vulnerabilities within MacOS workloads and their associated software components without deploying agents. Additionally, the platform now supports secure configuration assessment against built-in CIS Benchmarks specifically designed for Apple MacOS. This enhancement improves visibility into potential security gaps within MacOS environments, allowing organizations to identify and remediate misconfigurations or software weaknesses proactively. While no specific threat actor or malware campaign is detailed in this announcement, the feature strengthens overall security posture by facilitating continuous monitoring and compliance adherence. Security teams leveraging Wiz can now extend their vulnerability management strategies to cover MacOS infrastructure, ensuring consistent security standards across diverse operating systems within their cloud and workload environments.
