Case Study: Cushman & Wakefield resolves cloud risks within 24 hours by extending Wiz to teams and vendors
Key results
The challenge
As Cushman & Wakefield accelerated its cloud journey, its cross-functional teams and external vendors struggled to gain visibility into risks and threats, waiting for the security team to report on them and slowing remediation to days or even weeks. Because the company relies on outsourced IT service and development vendors, it needed to extend enterprise-class cloud security so those collaborators could remediate risks proactively.
The solution
With Wiz, Cushman & Wakefield and its vendor teams gained holistic, granular visibility across the multi-cloud environment and could see risks in context with Wiz CNAPP. Alerts were connected to a service desk platform to speed analysis, assignment, and remediation, and the third-party IT service desk adopted an SLA to address high and critical risks on newly deployed systems immediately.
“I've learned that water follows the path of least resistance. From a security standpoint, people will do what's easiest. So, any tool must balance securing our services and providing a great experience.”

The results, in context
Cushman & Wakefield now resolves high and critical risks within 24 hours after being alerted, down from days or weeks, and addresses significant code issues within one hour for new systems being deployed. Centralized visibility and automation extended faster remediation across internal teams and vendors.
