Wing Security
Wing Security provides an automated SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) platform that discovers shadow SaaS and AI apps, assesses vendor risk, and automates remediation of SaaS misconfigurations without requiring lengthy deployment.

Wing Security was founded in 2020 by Noam Shaar, a former CISO for the Israeli Defense Forces, and Galit Lubitsky to address the sprawl of unsanctioned SaaS and, increasingly, generative-AI tools that employees connect to corporate identity systems outside IT’s visibility. The platform continuously discovers connected applications, evaluates each vendor’s security posture, and automates remediation workflows for risky configurations and over-permissioned integrations.
The company has leaned into low-friction, agentless deployment as a differentiator against heavier legacy SSPM tools, and has expanded its scope to cover shadow-AI discovery as generative-AI adoption inside SaaS ecosystems has accelerated.
Innovation Matrix Assessment
Has expanded scope from core SSPM into shadow-AI discovery reasonably quickly since its 2020 founding.
Automates SaaS risk discovery and remediation workflows that would otherwise require manual vendor review by security teams.
Funding has been modest ($26M total, last disclosed round in 2022) with no large recent raise found, suggesting steady but not explosive growth.
Extends the established SSPM category into adjacent shadow-AI use cases rather than creating a new security model.
Reported 2024 revenue of $3.7M indicates a still-developing customer base; efficacy claims are largely vendor-reported.
SaaS and shadow-AI sprawl is a growing, durable attack surface that most enterprises still lack good visibility into.
Why CISOs Should Care
CISOs get continuous visibility into the SaaS and shadow-AI sprawl that traditional CASB and identity tools miss, plus automated workflows to cut off risky third-party app access.
What Makes It Different
Wing emphasizes rapid, agentless onboarding and extends classic SSPM scope into shadow-AI application discovery rather than staying narrowly focused on core SaaS misconfiguration scanning.
The Matrix Verdict
57/100 — INCREMENTAL INNOVATOR
A capable, focused SSPM vendor with real customer traction in a fast-growing niche, though its funding and scale remain modest next to larger identity and SaaS security platforms.
Editorial Note: Claims vs. Verified Findings
Revenue and adoption figures are drawn from third-party company-data aggregators rather than audited disclosures, so treat specific growth figures as directional.
