Google Acquires Wiz for $32 Billion

Google has completed its $32 billion acquisition of Israeli cloud cybersecurity startup Wiz, Inc., marking the largest acquisition in Google's history. Wiz, Inc. will operate within Google===Google Cloud Platform, maintaining its brand and multi-cloud support across platforms like Amazon===Amazon Web Services, Microsoft===Microsoft Azure, and Oracle Corporation===Oracle Cloud. This strategic move aims to strengthen Google===Google Cloud Platform's security offerings, particularly in the context of increasing enterprise reliance on multi-cloud environments and the rapid adoption of AI-assisted development, which has led to a rise in security vulnerabilities. The combined entity will offer a unified security platform to detect, prevent, and respond to threats across code, infrastructure, and runtime environments, including AI-specific risks. The deal, initially proposed at $23 billion in 2024 and declined by Wiz, Inc. CEO Assaf Rappaport, was finalized after revised talks in early 2025 and regulatory approvals from the United States===United States Department of Justice and European Union authorities.
