What happened
Wiz announced (Sept 1, 2026) Continuous Vulnerability Assessment, a public-preview capability that updates its vulnerability catalog and re-assesses customer exposure the moment a new CVE is published, replacing scheduled/periodic scanning with near-real-time detection and auto-routed remediation.
Why it matters
Explicitly framed around the 'AI Threat Era' where exploitation windows have collapsed to hours; closes the gap between CVE publication and actionable exposure data for a major cloud security vendor's large customer base.
Applicability
Cloud security teams using Wiz should enable CVA in preview to reduce mean-time-to-detect for newly published CVEs, particularly for internet-facing and AI-infrastructure assets.
