Wiz joins Google Cloud in the company’s largest acquisition
A $32 billion deal adds Wiz’s cloud security platform to Google Cloud’s portfolio while keeping services available across major cloud providers.
Google has completed the largest acquisition in its history, finalising the $32 billion purchase of cloud security firm Wiz. The company confirmed that Wiz will join Google Cloud while continuing to operate under its existing brand and maintaining support for multiple cloud platforms.
Wiz has built its reputation as a cloud and AI security platform designed to monitor risks across different cloud environments. The company’s technology connects code, cloud infrastructure, and runtime operations into a single security context, allowing development and security teams to detect vulnerabilities earlier and respond to threats affecting cloud workloads.
Google Cloud leaders say the acquisition strengthens the company’s broader security strategy. Wiz will complement existing services such as Google Threat Intelligence, Google Security Operations and Mandiant Consulting, contributing to a unified security platform designed to protect cloud-native applications and enterprise infrastructure.
Both companies emphasise that Wiz will remain committed to a multicloud approach. Its products will continue to operate across platforms, including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Oracle Cloud, reflecting the company’s existing model of providing visibility and security across competing cloud ecosystems.
