Google Acquires Wiz for $32 Billion to Enhance Cloud Security

On March 18, 2025, Google announced the acquisition of Wiz, a cloud security startup, for $32 billion. The acquisition aims to strengthen Google's cloud security capabilities and is an all-cash deal.

Wiz’s platform is designed to prevent security incidents by scanning customer environments comprehensively. It constructs a detailed graph of code, resources, services, and applications, identifying potential attack paths and prioritizing critical risks. Wiz also facilitates collaboration between security teams and developers to secure applications before deployment and detect ongoing attacks.

Post-acquisition, Wiz will continue to operate as an independent platform, maintaining its multicloud approach by working with other cloud providers such as AWS, Azure, and Oracle. This commitment is emphasized in a blog post from Wiz, which reaffirms their dedication to remaining a leading platform across any cloud environment.

The acquisition is subject to regulatory approvals.
