Wiz secures your cloud AI infrastructure.
Aona governs the people using AI.
Wiz is a cloud-native security platform with an AI-SPM module that scans AWS, Azure, and GCP for AI services, models, and exposed training data. Aona intercepts at the browser and native endpoint to govern how employees use AI tools. They sit at different layers and most regulated organisations need both.
Agentless cloud-native security platform (CNAPP) for AWS, Azure, and GCP, with an AI-SPM module for cloud-side AI risk.
Workforce AI Security platform purpose-built for the regulated mid-market, intercepting AI prompts and files at the human-AI surface (browser and native endpoint).
Keep Wiz for cloud-hosted AI security: model misconfiguration, attack-path analysis, AI-BOM, FedRAMP-grade infrastructure governance. Add Aona for AI prompt DLP and policy enforcement at the browser and native endpoint, plus framework templates for the regulated mid-market. They are complementary layers, not alternatives.

When to pick which
Five scenarios. The honest answer for each one.
Your AI risk is in the cloud: hosted models, training data exposure, misconfigured Bedrock or SageMaker accounts.
Wiz AI-SPM is purpose-built for that. Aona has zero cloud-side scanning.
Your procurement requires FedRAMP High today.
Wiz holds FedRAMP High. Aona holds SOC 2 Type II only.
Your AI risk is people: employees pasting sensitive data into ChatGPT or Claude on managed devices.
Wiz does not see endpoint or browser prompt traffic. Aona intercepts on submit before content leaves the device.
AU regulated mid-market buyer with no large cloud AI footprint yet.
Wiz's value is gated on having significant AWS / Azure / GCP usage with deployed AI services. Aona ships value in hours regardless of cloud footprint.
You have a meaningful cloud AI footprint AND employees actively using AI tools.
Different layers, no conflict. Wiz handles the cloud-hosted models; Aona handles the human-AI surface.
What each tool actually does
Three columns on the Aona side because the browser plugin and the native endpoint app cover different surfaces. Browser-only customers will see fewer green checks than customers with both.
| Capability | Aona browser plugin | Aona native app | Wiz |
|---|---|---|---|
| Discover | |||
| Cloud AI service discovery (Bedrock, SageMaker, Vertex) | Core capability | ||
| Endpoint shadow AI app discovery | Browser surface | Browser plus native AI apps | Cloud-only |
| Native desktop AI app interception | |||
| AI-BOM and model component inventory | |||
| Govern | |||
| Framework templates (EU AI Act, ISO 42001, sector) | Platform feature | Platform feature | Compliance dashboards, not framework packs |
| Hard-block on user prompt | Modal pauses, no override | Out of scope for Wiz | |
| Protect | |||
| Cloud attack path analysis to AI models | Core capability | ||
| File redaction with layout preservation (DOCX / Excel) | Out of scope | ||
| Operations | |||
| FedRAMP High | |||
| Time to first signal | Hours | Hours | Hours to days |

What it takes to ship each one
- Microsoft Intune (Windows MDM, only path shipped)
- Microsoft Entra (admin SSO + user/group sync)
- Active AWS / Azure / GCP accounts
- Cloud admin consent for read-only role binding
Where each one falls short
From public docs and customer interviews. If you find a factual error, email trust@aona.ai.
- Zero cloud-side coverage. If your AI risk is hosted models, training data exposure, or cloud misconfiguration, Wiz is the right tool, not Aona.
- No FedRAMP today. Wiz is FedRAMP High. Some US-federal buyers will require that bar.
- No AI-BOM, no model component analysis, no MCP connection discovery on the cloud side. Wiz documents all of these.
- Smaller integration ecosystem. Wiz integrates with major SIEMs, CI/CD, and ticketing platforms. Aona ships generic webhook plus API.
- Out of scope for the human-AI surface entirely. No browser plugin, no endpoint agent, no prompt-layer DLP.
- Not a tool for regulated mid-market buyers without significant cloud AI footprint. Value is gated on cloud workload count.
- Sales-led, per-workload pricing. Onboarding can be five-figure plus before policies are operationalised.
- Framework templating is not a Wiz surface. Compliance dashboards exist but are not the same as ISO 42001 / EU AI Act control mapping.
How Aona and Wiz work together
Run them at different layers. Wiz secures your cloud-hosted AI infrastructure: which services exist, how they are configured, what data they touch, where the attack paths are. Aona secures the human-AI surface: what employees type into ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, and what files they upload to those tools. Together you get end-to-end coverage from the cloud-hosted model to the prompt typed by an employee.
Cloud layer
Wiz scans cloud accounts for AI services, maps attack paths, surfaces sensitive training data exposure.
Human-AI layer
Aona intercepts at the browser and native AI app. Hard-block DLP on prompts and file uploads.
End-to-end coverage
Cloud-hosted AI is governed by Wiz; employee AI usage is governed by Aona.
