On October 2, 2026, Sky Co., Ltd. began offering cloud security product licenses from Wiz, a Google Cloud company, on AWS Marketplace. Behind this move is a strong corporate demand to centralize procurement processes while addressing fragmented management tools and excessive alerts in cloud environments, which are becoming increasingly complex with the advancement of digital transformation.

Key event: Sky offering Wiz licenses on AWS Marketplace

Independent system integrator Sky Co., Ltd. announced that, starting October 2, 2026, it has begun offering product licenses for Wiz—a cloud security and AI platform provided by Google Cloud subsidiary Wiz—through Amazon Web Services’ AWS Marketplace. The main products available include Wiz Cloud for cloud environments, Wiz Code for detecting vulnerabilities in application code, Wiz Defend for real-time detection of threats within endpoints, and Wiz Sensor, which provides various sensor functions. Established in 1985, Sky Co., Ltd. boasts a leading track record in Japan as an independent SIer, having built a diverse range of cloud infrastructures and security solutions. Through this initiative, companies can now quickly procure licenses for Wiz—a globally acclaimed Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP)—via AWS purchasing channels, enabling them to robustly establish a protection framework for their entire cloud assets. The following diagram illustrates the overall picture of the newly launched licensing solution.

The Increasing Complexity of Cloud Environments and the Technical Background Behind the Emergence of CNAPP

In recent years, digital transformation (DX) and the use of multi-cloud environments have been progressing rapidly in many companies, and the scale of systems and data built on the cloud has expanded dramatically. Along with this, the continuous identification of diversified and complex security risks—such as misconfigurations, software vulnerabilities, excessive access permissions, and confidential data leaks due to improper public configurations—has become a top-priority issue. Conventionally, point solutions addressing specific domains, such as Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), Cloud Workload Protection (CWPP), and Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM), have been individually introduced and operated. However, the proliferation of these point solutions has fragmented information across tools, making it difficult to correlate and analyze truly critical risks from the massive volume of alerts generated every day. To solve these challenges, CNAPP has emerged to seamlessly and integrally protect systems from the development stage through the operational stage, and its adoption is advancing globally as a technology that automates and streamlines risk analysis.

Technical Features of Wiz Products and Procurement Process Innovation

Agentless Visibility and Risk Prioritization Realized by Wiz

The greatest strength of the CNAPP platform provided by Wiz lies in its agentless scanning technology, which allows the platform to be used without installing agent software in the target cloud environment. By simply granting minimal read permissions, it is possible to comprehensively analyze the entire multi-cloud environment immediately after deployment. It features Security Graph technology, which cross-sectionally visualizes configuration information, vulnerabilities, access rights, and the classification results of stored data to elucidate the interrelationships of risks. Furthermore, rather than merely listing problems, it comprehensively evaluates severe compound risks that are highly likely to be exploited as attack paths and automatically generates them as Wiz Issues. This mechanism frees security personnel from alert fatigue—being overwhelmed by a massive volume of alerts—allowing them to focus on addressing the critical vulnerabilities and deficiencies that need to be fixed with the highest priority. With Google announcing an agreement to acquire the company for $32 billion in March 2025, its high technological capabilities and market share are attracting immense attention in the cybersecurity industry.

Centralizing Procurement and Cost Management Using AWS Marketplace

Sky Co., Ltd. has started offering Wiz product licenses on AWS Marketplace, allowing adopting companies to enjoy significant benefits in their procurement and contracting processes. First, Wiz license fees can be bundled and paid together with monthly AWS usage charges, significantly reducing and simplifying cumbersome internal individual contracting procedures, invoice receipt, and payment operations. Second, by having Sky Co., Ltd. intermediate between the customer and the software vendor, it becomes possible to propose flexible pricing and contract terms tailored to each company’s usage scale and business needs. Third, by consolidating various software costs across the entire enterprise into the AWS bill, the transparency of IT infrastructure costs is dramatically improved, which also directly leads to enhanced governance. Streamlining software procurement is a practical approach that enables the rapid construction of a security foundation in a rapidly changing business environment. The following diagram illustrates the flow of centralized procurement through AWS Marketplace.

The Role and Future Outlook of System Integration

End-to-end support framework from design to operations by an independent SIer

What Sky Corporation provides in this initiative goes beyond merely handling the sales procedures for software licenses. As an official partner of both AWS and Wiz, the company boasts a large number of specialized engineers holding advanced certifications, and provides high-quality system integration leveraging its technical capabilities as an independent system integrator (SIer). Specifically, it provides comprehensive and robust support ranging from detailed hearings on the adopting company’s cloud usage status and security challenges, to formulating Wiz implementation plans, configuring connections with the cloud environment, setting initial parameters, verifying detection results, and even designing daily operations. Nao Yamanaka, Representative for Wiz Cloud Japan, has also provided an endorsement expressing high expectations for Sky Corporation’s technical expertise and its commitment to helping customers remediate their most critical risks. In building overall IT environments centered on zero-trust security, the company’s multifaceted technical support plays an indispensable role in ensuring the smooth establishment of security operations for businesses.

Future Developments and Prospects for the Democratization of Cloud Security

As a future outlook, the democratization of security through the introduction of Wiz is expected to assume an even more crucial role in corporate business growth. Conventionally, security operations tended to concentrate burdens solely on dedicated security departments; however, Wiz’s intuitive visualization capabilities enable the entire organization, including development and operations teams, to share risk awareness and naturally implement “shift-left” practices by embedding security measures early in the development process. Furthermore, social demands for corporate cloud security management and audit automation are projected to rise even further, driven by developments such as the Security Countermeasure Assessment System for Supply Chain Strengthening (SCS Assessment System) slated to be launched by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in 2027. By combining Wiz license provision with advanced SI technology, Sky Co., Ltd. is expected to continue strongly backing Japanese enterprises in countering threats in diversifying multi-cloud environments, ensuring their secure cloud-native migration and sustainable growth.
