Q1. A global administrator needs to find out which specific software (like Go, Python, or React) and operating systems (like Linux or Windows) are detected and running on VMs, containers, and serverless functions across the estate. Where shoul…
Answer: B. Inventory > Technology Inventory page
The Technology Inventory page specifically lists the hosted technologies, coding languages, operating systems, and applications detected across workloads by Wiz. For the exam, rely on this page whenever you need to locate specific software or OS environments.
Q2. Where in the Wiz portal would a security analyst navigate to find detailed information, metrics, and risk analysis related to specific vulnerabilities, exposed secrets, or configuration errors detected on a single resource?
Answer: C. The Findings pages (e.g., Vulnerability Findings, Cloud Configuration Findings).
A finding represents a single instance of a risk on a specific resource, and the individual findings pages are used to view these. Distinguish this from the Issues page, which aggregates multiple findings to track broader remediation workflows.
Q3. Which specific action performed by the Wiz Workload Scanner is designed to ensure minimal impact on the workload's performance or operation?
Answer: B. Scanning the workload by creating disk snapshots or clones 'out of band'.
The correct answer works because Wiz scans out of band using disk snapshots, keeping the live workload untouched. For the exam, remember that Wiz avoids heavy agents; continuous live monitoring or runtime API polling would defeat the agentless design goal.
Q4. When assessing cloud security risks in Wiz, why is the context provided within the Issues page essential for effective vulnerability management?
Answer: D. It highlights which vulnerabilities are involved in a critical attack path leading to sensitive data or lateral movement, helping to prioritize remediation.
The correct answer works because Wiz maps vulnerabilities to attack paths, showing exactly which flaws lead to sensitive data. Avoid options relying solely on CVSS scores; the practical exam cue is that context transforms raw vulnerabilities into prioritized, actionable risk.
Q5. If an Azure Outpost deployment is configured to scan subscriptions that belong to a different Azure tenant (multi-tenant), which parameter must be adjusted in the deployment script?
Answer: B. –multi-tenant
The multi-tenant parameter must be added to the deployment script to allow scanning across different Azure tenants. This is a highly specific command-line flag, so memorizing the exact parameter names for Outpost deployments is crucial for exam success.
Q6. A team wishes to visualize the architecture, risk, and relationships between resources programmatically using query language. Which page on the Wiz portal offers the most direct access and tools for building these queries?
Answer: C. The API Explorer.
The API Explorer serves as the native tool for writing, validating, and testing GraphQL queries against the Security Graph. While Inventory provides a visual UI, the Explorer is the direct interface for programmatic querying and relationship mapping.
Q7. Which capability, available via Wiz integrations, allows security scan results from third-party tools (like SAST findings from Cycode or DAST findings from CyCognito) to be incorporated directly into the Wiz Security Graph and Findings pag…
Answer: C. External Enrichment Integration.
External Enrichment integrations are specifically designed to ingest findings from third-party tools and layer them onto the Security Graph. A standard Push Integration simply sends Wiz alerts outbound rather than pulling context into the graph.
Q8. What primary capability does Rego provide within the context of Cloud Configuration Rules (CCRs)?
Answer: B. Defining security policies as code over complex hierarchical data structures (CSP JSON objects).
Rego is the declarative policy language used with Open Policy Agent to evaluate complex JSON data structures from cloud providers. It does not execute scripts or perform network analysis, but rather defines the configuration rules as code.
Q9. When defining an action within an Automation Rule to communicate with a third-party tool, how can you customize the information sent in the 'push' action payload?
Answer: C. By using template variables surrounded by double curly braces (e.g., {{resourceName}}).
Template variables enclosed in double curly braces allow dynamic injection of resource data into the payload sent to external tools. You cannot alter the third-party API schema from within Wiz, so native templating provides the required customization.
Q10. Which Wiz commercial license provides access to advanced features such as Container registry scanning, Threat Detection Rules, and the Outpost deployment model?
Answer: C. Wiz Cloud Advanced
Container registry scanning, Threat Detection Rules, and Outpost are exclusive features of the Wiz Cloud Advanced commercial license. Knowing which capabilities belong to the Essential versus Advanced tiers frequently appears on the exam.
Q11. Which specific risk category is tracked within the Issues page that is the result of correlating multiple risks across different domains (e.g., vulnerability + exposure + identity)?
Answer: C. Toxic Combination (Issue).
A Toxic Combination synthesizes multiple individual findings across different risk categories into a single prioritized issue. A standalone configuration rule violation is just a finding, whereas an issue requires correlating multiple security risks.
Q12. You are investigating a Wiz Issue tagged with 'Data Leakage' risk type. What specific combination of findings must be present for an issue to be categorized as 'Data Leakage' rather than merely 'Unprotected Data'?
Answer: B. A sensitive data finding combined with a real-time data exfiltration attempt.
Data Leakage specifically requires pairing a sensitive data finding with evidence of a near real-time exfiltration attempt. Simply pairing sensitive data with external exposure results in a different risk category, such as Unprotected Data, rather than active leakage.
Q13. A security auditor asks how Wiz ensures data protection regarding connectivity between its infrastructure and the customer's cloud during standard SaaS deployment scanning. What is the correct protocol used for securing this communication?
Answer: B. TLS 1.2 or greater encryption.
Wiz secures all communications between its backend and the customer cloud environment using TLS 1.2 or higher encryption. No proprietary protocols or dedicated VPN tunnels are required for the standard SaaS scanning architecture.
