EPAM Systems (NYSE: EPAM) has joined the Wiz Partner Alliance, combining the cloud security firm’s AI Application Protection Platform with its own engineering and cloud modernization capabilities. The collaboration is designed to help organizations identify and remediate security risks across multi-cloud environments, including Google Cloud, AWS and Microsoft Azure.
Under the agreement, EPAM will implement Wiz’s platform internally and integrate its features into its engineering and modernization programs. The partnership leverages Wiz’s Security Graph, which provides visibility into cloud assets, configurations and attack paths across code, cloud, runtime, AI applications and SaaS environments.
EPAM’s subsidiary White Hat will conduct offensive security assessments to evaluate whether identified vulnerabilities can be exploited, while Wiz’s AI Agents—Red, Green and Blue—will support validation of exploitable paths, remediation and runtime threat investigation, respectively.
The initiative targets enterprise clients across media and entertainment, transportation and logistics, life sciences and healthcare, financial services, automotive and retail sectors. EPAM has previously delivered Wiz implementation programs for organizations in these industries.
Alexandros Katsioulis, Head of Alphabet Business and Google Global Business Group at EPAM, emphasized the need for actionable cloud security solutions. “Cloud security does not end with identifying risk, as organizations need the engineering capability to act on that intelligence across complex applications and infrastructure,” he said.
Eugene Dzihanau, Head of Cybersecurity Practice at EPAM, highlighted the complementary nature of the partnership. “Wiz provides the system of record for security risk and EPAM provides the operating model that continuously drives that risk down,” he added.
EPAM’s shares closed at $111.26 on Aug. 24, up 0.83% for the session, before edging higher to $111.69 in after-hours trading.
