Google Acquires Wiz for $32 Billion in Largest Deal to Date

The acquisition strengthens Google Cloud's cybersecurity capabilities and positions it to compete more effectively against Amazon and Microsoft.

Alphabet, Google's parent company, has announced a $32 billion all-cash acquisition of cybersecurity startup Wiz, its largest deal ever.
The acquisition aims to enhance Google Cloud's security offerings with Wiz's AI-powered solutions, addressing growing cybersecurity threats in the AI era.
Wiz's products will remain available across major cloud platforms, including Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure, ensuring multicloud compatibility.
The deal, expected to close in 2026 pending regulatory approval, reflects Google's strategic push to strengthen its position in the competitive cloud market.
Wiz previously rejected a $23 billion offer from Alphabet in 2024, citing antitrust concerns and plans to pursue an IPO.
