Q1. Which core component of the Wiz analysis engine maintains the relationships between cloud resources, configuration details, and identified findings, enabling attack path analysis?
Answer: D. The Graph database (Security Graph).
The Security Graph is central to storing all resource data and relationships, allowing analytical modules to enrich entities and identify attack paths. Other analyzers feed data into the graph, but the graph itself maps the correlations.
Q2. What is the primary architectural purpose of the Wiz Orchestrator Role within an AWS Outpost deployment?
Answer: C. Provisioning the EKS cluster and all other required resources within the dedicated Outpost account.
The Wiz Orchestrator Role provisions and manages the dedicated infrastructure, including the EKS cluster, within the Outpost account. For the exam, remember that Outpost relies on this role for initial resource creation rather than read-only metadata fetching or direct runtime threat detection.
Q3. Which feature leverages vulnerability data detected on cloud infrastructure, correlating it with access paths to vulnerable assets, to aid VR and IT teams?
Answer: C. Vulnerability Management & Response tools integration.
Integrations with Vulnerability Management and Response tools pull Wiz findings to help prioritize risks by adding attack path context. Do not confuse this with data lineage, which tracks data flows rather than infrastructure vulnerabilities and their exploitation paths.
Q4. What is the key advantage offered by Wiz's non-intrusive, agentless scanning approach compared to traditional agent-based solutions?
Answer: B. It avoids impacting the performance or operation of the live workload during scanning.
Wiz avoids impacting live workload performance by scanning out-of-band disk snapshots. The strongest distractor suggests forensic capabilities, but remember that the primary benefit of agentless scanning is operational safety rather than deep disk forensics.
Q5. In a Wiz-managed Outpost deployment, what data is explicitly sent back to the Wiz backend after a workload scan?
Answer: B. Only the collected security metadata, such as findings, installed packages, vulnerabilities, and secrets hashes/snippets.
A strict data barrier ensures only security metadata, such as vulnerability findings and package lists, returns to the Wiz backend. It is crucial to remember that full disk snapshots and raw runtime logs never leave the local environment.
Q6. According to policy tuning guidance, under which circumstance is ignoring a finding or issue considered appropriate (but should remain an exception, not standard practice)?
Answer: C. When there is a known and accepted risk that currently lacks an available fix.
Ignoring a finding is appropriate when there is a known and accepted risk that currently lacks an available fix. Remember that severity levels or age do not justify ignoring issues unless the risk has been explicitly accepted as a temporary exception.
Q7. What is the result when a cloud resource fails to pass a Cloud Configuration Rule (CCR)?
Answer: C. A cloud configuration finding is generated and associated with the resource on the security graph.
Failing a Cloud Configuration Rule generates a configuration finding attached to that specific resource within the security graph. This foundational concept is critical because findings feed into controls, which subsequently generate prioritized issues.
Q8. What is the relationship between Policies, Findings, Controls, and Issues in the Wiz platform?
Answer: C. Policies generate Findings, which are processed by Controls to identify toxic combinations that manifest as Issues.
Policies generate individual findings, which controls then analyze to identify dangerous combinations known as issues. Memorize this exact flow, as understanding how the security graph correlates discrete risks into issues is essential.
Q9. Which component is described as an eBPF-powered executable designed to provide real-time visibility into cloud and on-premises workloads?
Answer: D. Wiz Runtime Sensor.
The Wiz Runtime Sensor is an eBPF-powered executable that delivers real-time visibility into cloud workloads. Use this specific detail to separate it from the admission controller, which handles Kubernetes deployment policies.
