WIZ Cloud Security

The largest deal to acquire Israeli technology in 2025 valued at an amazing $32 BILLION by Google

The Wiz Cloud Security Platform supports building in the cloud, enabling security, dev and devops to work together in a self-service model built for the scale and speed of the cloud development.

Google is acquiring cloud security company Wiz for $32 billion, announced in March 2025, making it Google's largest acquisition ever, aimed at boosting Google Cloud's security offerings for multicloud environments, with the deal expected to close in 2026 after clearing U.S. antitrust review. The purchase brings fast-growing, innovative cloud-native protection to Google Cloud, enhancing its ability to secure complex customer infrastructures across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, despite some investor skepticism about short-term financials.  

Key Details of the Acquisition

• Price: $32 billion in an all-cash deal. 

• Strategic Goal: To provide comprehensive, end-to-end security for multi-cloud environments, leveraging Wiz's platform and innovation. 

• Timeline: Announced March 18, 2025; expected to close in 2026. 

• Regulatory Status: Cleared U.S. Justice Department (DOJ) antitrust review in November 2025, but other approvals are pending. 

• Integration: Wiz will join Google Cloud, enhancing its AI and cloud security portfolio. 

Why the Acquisition Matters

• Market Consolidation:

  Reinforces the trend of major tech players buying specialized security firms to offer integrated platforms. 

• Investor Reaction:

  Initial stock dip due to lost interest income and concerns about near-term dilution, but Wiz's strong growth (fastest to $100M ARR) and IP are seen as long-term assets. 

• Competitive Edge:

  Addresses a gap in Google Cloud's offerings against Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure in the cloud security market.
