Case Study: Sixt cut critical cloud issues by 85% and embedded security into developer workflows with Wiz
Key results
The challenge
Sixt, a global mobility provider running roughly 9,000 deployments per month, had limited visibility into security events across its expanding cloud footprint. Its security team manually identified, evaluated, and communicated potential threats, a time-consuming process that risked critical events going unnoticed, while existing tools required constant manual maintenance. Sixt needed to embed risk management into developer workflows without compromising speed or scalability.
The solution
Sixt adopted Wiz to gain comprehensive visibility across its growing cloud footprint and integrate security into the development pipeline, letting developers remediate misconfigurations before deployment. Natural-language queries and readable dashboards gave developers and leaders alike actionable insight to continuously strengthen the company's security posture.
“Our goal was to enable developers to build secure-by-design products without compromising on speed - and with Wiz, we found a reliable partner to support us on this journey.”

The results, in context
Sixt decreased critical issues by 85% and high-risk issues by 75% within a few months, and reduced remediation times from days to hours or even minutes. Shifting security left also allowed the team to catch more risks before deployment.
