Affordable Wiz alternative

A focused Wiz alternative for internet exposure.

OpenWiz is being built for small teams that want to know which public cloud exposure to fix first—without buying a broad enterprise cloud security platform.

OpenWiz is in development. The one-time $10 reservation includes the first live month and does not start a recurring subscription.

Narrow by design

Not a smaller copy of an enterprise CNAPP.

Wiz covers a broad cloud security platform. OpenWiz is intentionally narrower: one root domain, its public services, AWS resources, and Cloudflare context, combined into prioritized Exposure Issues. The goal is not feature parity. It is a clear, affordable answer to the part of cloud risk that begins on the public internet.

01

Start from what an attacker can reach

Cloud inventories are useful, but they do not automatically tell a small team which asset is exposed from the outside. The planned OpenWiz workflow begins with the root domain and its subdomains, observes public endpoints, and then connects those endpoints to the cloud resources behind them.

  • Discover public domains, subdomains, and services
  • Separate reachable endpoints from internal-only inventory
  • Keep evidence attached to each exposure issue
02

Prioritize a connected issue, not an alert pile

A public port, an EC2 instance, and an identity relationship should not appear as unrelated findings when they describe one risk path. OpenWiz plans to group the evidence and explain why the combined issue deserves attention, so the repair queue stays short enough to act on.

  • Match public endpoints to AWS resources
  • Add Cloudflare DNS and proxy context
  • Order issues by reachability and potential impact
03

Use a price that fits the narrow scope

Founding access is a one-time $10 reservation that includes the first live month for one root domain and up to 100 cloud compute instances. No recurring subscription begins today. A later $10 monthly plan requires separate confirmation after the product is available.

  • One root domain and all of its subdomains
  • Up to 100 cloud compute instances
  • A proactive refund if the first MVP misses its delivery window
Good fit

For teams with a focused exposure problem

OpenWiz is aimed at founders, platform engineers, and small security teams that own AWS and Cloudflare but do not need a broad enterprise security program on day one.

  • You need a short list of internet-facing risks
  • Your public domains lead to AWS workloads
  • You value explainable prioritization over dashboard breadth
