These companies are the closest you can get to a legal mafia, they are effectively charging companies around the world to keep them "safe". In other words, a job that is traditionally considered to be a basic service of the government is now being privatized by people that nobody knows if we can really trust.

- marcus0x62 2y agoThis is an absurd take. There’s nothing stopping anyone from building their own cloud security tools (many have), and unlike the Mafia, Wiz isn’t threatening anyone who doesn’t buy their service. I’m also not aware of any government agency providing any reasonable analog to what these tools provide in the physical world.

- chii 2y agobecause the amount of money is so huge, the grandparent poster imagined there must be something wrong or sus going on. Likely due to personal biases. And since most people's experience is shallow, the only analog they can muster is the mafia.

How on earth is it the government's job to protect people's software? It's a mere digital product, not human life or property. Besides, people also buy padlocks and door locks for safety. Wiz is no different.
