    NEW YORK, August 15, 2024 (Newswire.com)
    –
    Cloud security leader Wiz today announced that its top-ranked Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform achieved FedRAMP® Moderate Authorization and is now listed as such on the FedRAMP Marketplace, just four years since the company’s inception. 

    The milestone underscore Wiz’s commitment to enhancing cybersecurity for U.S. government agencies as they transition to cloud environments. The power of Wiz is already being felt by many of these organizations, one example being the U.S. Navy, which integrated Wiz into its COSMOS platform, allowing for centralized visibility across its cloud resources and effective detection of security risks while ensuring strict adherence to DoD requirements.

    FedRAMP is a government-wide program that ensures standardized security in the cloud, facilitating faster cloud adoption by federal agencies. Wiz’s rigorous security assessment and compliance with applicable National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 800-53 controls affirm its adherence to federal security standards. As the federal government is tasked with modernizing its approach to cybersecurity, Wiz enables agencies to ensure that their cloud security can keep pace with the complexity of cloud threats and effectively improve their security posture in the cloud.

    “We are excited about the timing of our FedRAMP authorization, given the ever-changing threat landscape,” said Assaf Rappaport, Co-Founder and CEO at Wiz. “As the U.S. Federal Government navigates the modern cybersecurity landscape amid cloud advancements and the rise of AI, Wiz is uniquely positioned to offer comprehensive risk management across all these domains.”

    Wiz’s platform significantly enhances operational efficiency and security. Its key benefits include comprehensive visibility based on the Wiz Security Graph, critical risk removal that focuses on high priority threats, supporting assessment of compliance to meet regulatory standards, proactive threat management, and secure use of AI.

  • Wayne Brady gets into ‘minor’ fight with driver in Malibu who hit his car and tried to run

    Wayne Brady gets into ‘minor’ fight with driver in Malibu who hit his car and tried to run

    Wayne Brady got into a fight over the weekend in Malibu with a driver who hit his car and tried to run away, authorities said. The incident ended with the arrest of the other driver.

    The “Don’t Forget the Lyrics” host was driving along Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu near Las Flores Road and Duke’s restaurant around 7:30 p.m. Sunday when another car backed into Brady’s, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Dept. said in a statement shared with The Times.

    When Brady and the other driver pulled over to exchange information, the driver heard first responders’ sirens and ran away, the statement said. Brady attempted to stop the person, which led to “a minor physical altercation.”

    The driver ran into a nearby neighborhood, where deputies arrested the individual on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, hit and run with damage to property, and battery, the statement said.

    The department declined to release the person’s name, citing an ongoing investigation. Nobody required medical attention.

    Representatives for Brady did not immediately respond to The Times’ requests for comment.

    Brady most recently made headlines when he announced his pansexuality in an interview with People.

    He said he was prompted to start discovering new parts of himself after the 2014 death of Robin Williams, along with his own battle with depression.

    “I did all the therapy I could do,” he said. “I was treated for love addiction. It’s a part of my journey. I had to start examining why I was looking for myself and happiness in a slew of people.”

    Brady has hosted TV shows including “Don’t Forget the Lyrics” and “Let’s Make a Deal” and was a frequent panelist on “Whose Line Is It Anyway,” for which he won a Primetime Emmy. He has also acted in “30 Rock” and “Chappelle’s Show.”

    An accomplished stage actor, Brady also has starred in Broadway hits “Chicago,” “Rent” and “Hamilton.” He performed in a Hollywood Bowl revival of “Kinky Boots” in 2022 and next year will star as the titular character in the touring revival of “The Wiz.”
