Google completes $32B acquisition of Wiz
Google said on Wednesday that it has acquired Israeli cybersecurity firm Wiz for $32 billion in cash, a full year after the companies announced the deal. This marks Google’s biggest acquisition in its history.
Wiz, which provides a security platform that helps major cloud environments prevent and respond to cybersecurity threats, will join Google Cloud, but will maintain its brand “and commitment to securing customers across all cloud environments,” Google said.
“This acquisition is an investment by Google Cloud to improve cloud security and enable organizations to build fast and securely across any cloud or AI platform,” the search giant said in a statement.
Google initially approached Wiz in 2024 with an offer to buy the startup for $23 billion, but Wiz walked away from that offer. Its CEO Assaf Rappaport said at the time that he felt the business could grow to be a lot bigger than that.
The companies revived talks early in 2025, and Google last March reached an agreement to buy the Israeli company.
