Set up a Wiz Insights connector

C1 provides identity governance and security posture visibility for Wiz. Integrate your Wiz instance with C1 to sync security insights related to user and service accounts, enabling identity-aware cloud security posture visibility.

There are TWO Wiz connectors. The instructions below set up the Wiz Insights connector that syncs security issues from Wiz as external insights, surfacing identity risk scores alongside access decisions in C1.

There is also a Wiz IAM connector, which syncs users, roles, and projects from Wiz so that you can review and manage access.

Capabilities

Resource	Sync	Provision
Security Insights

Notes:

• The Wiz Insights connector syncs security issues from Wiz that are related to USER_ACCOUNT and SERVICE_ACCOUNT entity types.
• This connector does not support provisioning. It is a read-only connector that syncs security insights.
• The connector supports incremental sync via an event feed that polls for issues with updated statuses.

Gather Wiz credentials

To configure the Wiz Insights connector, you need API access in Wiz with permission to read issues. You also need to know the GraphQL API URL and OAuth2 token endpoint for your Wiz region.

1. Log in to Wiz and navigate to Settings > Service Accounts.

2. Create a new service account with OAuth2 credentials:

   1. Click Add Service Account

   2. Enter a name: C1

   3. Select the following scope:

      • read:issues - Allows syncing security issues as insights

   4. Click Create

   5. Copy and save the Client ID and Client Secret securely

3. Determine your Wiz API endpoints:

   • GraphQL API URL: The regional API endpoint for your Wiz tenant (e.g., https://api.us17.app.wiz.io/graphql)
   • Auth Endpoint: The OAuth2 token endpoint (e.g., https://auth.app.wiz.io/oauth/token)

   You can find these in the Wiz documentation or your Wiz tenant settings.

For more information, see Wiz API documentation.

Configure the Wiz Insights connector

Cloud-hosted

Follow these instructions to use a built-in, no-code connector hosted by C1.

1. In C1, navigate to Integrations > Connectors and click Add connector.

2. Search for Wiz Insights and click Add.

3. Choose how to set up the new Wiz Insights connector:

   • Add the connector to a currently unmanaged app (select from the list of apps that were discovered in your identity, SSO, or federation provider that are not yet managed with C1)
   • Add the connector to a managed app (select from the list of existing managed apps)
   • Create a new managed app
4. Set the owner for this connector. You can manage the connector yourself, or choose someone else from the list of C1 users. Setting multiple owners is allowed.

   If you choose someone else, C1 will notify the new connector owner by email that their help is needed to complete the setup process.

5. Click Next.

6. Find the Settings area of the page and click Edit.

7. Enter the required configuration:

   • Wiz API URL (required): The Wiz GraphQL API endpoint for your region
   • Client ID (required): OAuth2 client ID from your Wiz service account
   • Client Secret (required): OAuth2 client secret from your Wiz service account
   • Auth Endpoint (required): OAuth2 token endpoint for authentication
8. Click Save.

9. The connector’s label changes to Syncing, followed by Connected. You can view the logs to ensure that information is syncing.

Done. Your Wiz Insights connector is now pulling security insights into C1.

Self-hosted

Follow these instructions to use the Wiz Insights connector, hosted and run in your own environment.

When running in service mode on Kubernetes, a self-hosted connector maintains an ongoing connection with C1, automatically syncing and uploading data at regular intervals. This data is immediately available in the C1 UI for access reviews and access requests.

Step 1: Set up a new Wiz Insights connector

1. In C1, navigate to Integrations > Connectors > Add connector.

2. Search for Baton and click Add.

3. Choose how to set up the new Wiz Insights connector:

   • Add the connector to a currently unmanaged app (select from the list of apps that were discovered in your identity, SSO, or federation provider that are not yet managed with C1)
   • Add the connector to a managed app (select from the list of existing managed apps)
   • Create a new managed app
4. Set the owner for this connector. You can manage the connector yourself, or choose someone else from the list of C1 users. Setting multiple owners is allowed.

   If you choose someone else, C1 will notify the new connector owner by email that their help is needed to complete the setup process.

5. Click Next.

6. In the Settings area of the page, click Edit.

7. Click Rotate to generate a new Client ID and Secret.

   Carefully copy and save these credentials. They are used in Step 2.

Step 2: Create Kubernetes configuration files

Create two Kubernetes manifest files for your Wiz Insights connector deployment:

Secrets configuration

# baton-wiz-insights-secrets.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: baton-wiz-insights-secrets
type: Opaque
stringData:
  # C1 credentials
  BATON_CLIENT_ID: <C1 client ID>
  BATON_CLIENT_SECRET: <C1 client secret>

  # Wiz credentials
  BATON_WIZ_API_URL: <Your Wiz GraphQL API endpoint>
  BATON_WIZ_CLIENT_ID: <Your Wiz OAuth2 client ID>
  BATON_WIZ_CLIENT_SECRET: <Your Wiz OAuth2 client secret>
  BATON_WIZ_AUTH_ENDPOINT: <Your Wiz OAuth2 token endpoint>

See the connector’s README or run --help to see all available configuration flags and environment variables.

Deployment configuration

# baton-wiz-insights.yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: baton-wiz-insights
  labels:
    app: baton-wiz-insights
spec:
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: baton-wiz-insights
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: baton-wiz-insights
        baton: true
        baton-app: wiz-insights
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: baton-wiz-insights
        image: public.ecr.aws/conductorone/baton-wiz-insights:latest
        imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
        env:
        - name: BATON_HOST_ID
          value: baton-wiz-insights
        envFrom:
        - secretRef:
            name: baton-wiz-insights-secrets

Step 3: Deploy the connector

1. Create a namespace in which to run C1 connectors (if desired), then apply the secret config and deployment config files.

2. Check that the connector data uploaded correctly. In C1, click Applications. On the Managed apps tab, locate and click the name of the application you added the Wiz Insights connector to. Wiz security insights should be found on the application page.

Done. Your Wiz Insights connector is now pulling security insights into C1.
