Google has officially acquired Israeli cybersecurity firm Wiz for $32 billion in cash, a full year after the companies announced the deal. This marks Google’s largest acquisition in its history.
Wiz provides a security platform that protects critical cloud environments by preventing and responding to cyber security threats. While the company will join Google Cloud, it will maintain its brand and commitment to customer security across all cloud environments, the company said.
The deal comes after the Wiz surpassed $1 billion in ARR in 2025, according to a source familiar with the matter.
“This acquisition is an investment by Google Cloud to improve cloud security and enable organizations to build quickly and securely on any cloud or AI platform,” Google said in a statement.
As large organizations increasingly work across different clouds — including Google Cloud, AWS, Azure and Oracle Cloud — having Wiz in-house is a clear move by Google to win over more enterprise customers with a multi-cloud security platform.
Together, the two companies will work to provide a “unified security platform” to help organizations address threats faster – a key task as the rise of vibe coding has resulted in an increase in security vulnerabilities and point-of-use attacks become more common. Wiz has leaned on its own use of artificial intelligence to improve threat detection and investigation at every level of a cloud environment, from code and infrastructure to runtime.
Google first approached Wiz in 2024 with an offer to buy the startup for $23 billion. Wiz backed out of that offer. CEO Assaf Rappaport said at the time that he felt the business could grow much bigger than that.
