Wiz: Wiz is an Israeli cloud security company founded in 2020 that specializes in cloud infrastructure entitlement management and security. The platform provides real-time visibility and control across cloud environments, focusing on identifying and remediating security risks in Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) platforms including AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Wiz's core offering combines cloud asset inventory, vulnerability management, and identity and access management capabilities to detect misconfigurations and unauthorized access paths. The company employs graph-based analysis to map attack paths and prioritize remediation efforts based on actual risk exposure rather than theoretical vulnerabilities. Wiz has achieved significant market traction, reaching a $32 billion valuation following substantial funding rounds totaling $1,900 million. The company serves enterprise customers across financial services, technology, and healthcare sectors. Its competitive positioning emphasizes speed of deployment and accuracy in threat detection compared to traditional cloud security solutions. Wiz demonstrates strong growth trajectory with rapid customer acquisition and expansion of platform capabilities. The company has been acquired, representing a significant exit in the cloud security market. Its success reflects growing enterprise demand for comprehensive cloud security solutions as organizations accelerate cloud migration and require sophisticated tools to manage expanding attack surfaces and identity-based threats in distributed cloud infrastructures. Wiz's graph-based approach to mapping attack paths within cloud environments differentiates it from traditional vulnerability scanning tools. Onfido: Onfido provided AI-powered identity verification services, using computer vision and machine learning to authenticate government-issued documents and biometric selfies for remote customer onboarding. The platform enabled banks, fintech companies, and regulated service providers to comply with Know Your Customer requirements without requiring in-person identity checks, processing identity verifications across more than 195 countries and supporting hundreds of document types.\n\nFounded in London in 2012, Onfido raised approximately $200 million from investors including SoftBank, TPG Growth, and Salesforce Ventures before being acquired by Entrust, the identity security company, in 2024 for approximately $400 million. At the time of acquisition, Onfido was processing hundreds of millions of identity checks annually for clients including HSBC, Revolut, and Bitstamp, making it one of the largest independent identity verification providers in the world.\n\nOnfido competed in the KYC and identity verification market alongside Jumio, Mitek, and AU10TIX, as well as large platform players including Experian and LexisNexis. The acquisition by Entrust gave Onfido access to a broader portfolio of physical and digital identity credentials and an enterprise sales channel with reach across government, banking, and enterprise security. The combined entity positions Entrust as a full-stack identity provider spanning physical documents, digital certificates, and AI-powered biometric verification.

Onfido got there first, launching in 2012 — that's 8 years of extra runway. Wiz didn't arrive until 2020. In AI, that kind of head start means more training data, deeper customer relationships, and a bigger talent moat.

Wiz has about 1250 employees; Onfido has about 500-1000. A bigger team usually means more revenue or heavier VC backing, but in AI, small teams can build at massive scale.

Yes — they're direct rivals. Both Wiz and Onfido compete in AI Security, targeting many of the same buyers. If you're evaluating one, you should be looking at the other.
