## AI overview

Wiz describes how its Red Agent identified a publicly accessible page exposing sensitive business data at a financial services firm. It says the agent tested the endpoint, classified the data and severity, redacted raw values in findings, and gave the security team enough context to understand and remediate the exposure.
