Google makes its biggest acquisition yet: the company Wiz will join Google Cloud.

Google completes the acquisition of cybersecurity company Wiz for a record $32 billion

After a year-long regulatory approval process, Google officially acquired the startup Wiz, which specializes in protecting cloud environments. The deal surpassed the previous high of $23 billion and became the largest purchase in the company's history.

What is Wiz?
Wiz is a security platform for large clouds. It detects threats, blocks attacks, and responds to incidents in real time. The company already serves major organizations working with AWS, Azure, Oracle Cloud, and other providers.

Why Google was interested
In 2024, Wiz’s annual revenue exceeded $1 billion, indicating significant growth. Google sees this as an additional tool to strengthen its cloud ecosystem:

- Enhanced protection – integrating Wiz will allow Google Cloud to offer more comprehensive security to customers.
- Multi‑cloud – with the growing popularity of “multi‑cloud” solutions (AWS, Azure, Oracle), having Wiz helps attract corporate clients that need a single point of security management.

How negotiations went
1. Initial offer – in 2024, Google offered $23 billion for Wiz; the company declined, citing growth prospects.
2. Negotiations resumed – early 2025, and the price was raised to $32 billion.
3. Regulatory approval – the deal received U.S. approval in November 2025 and EU approval in February 2026.

What’s next
Wiz will retain its brand and continue working on client security across all cloud environments. Together with Google, the company will begin developing a unified platform that accelerates threat detection and mitigation—especially important amid the rise of attacks using “wave‑coding.”

Thus, the acquisition of Wiz will strengthen Google Cloud’s position as a leader in multi‑cloud security solutions and provide customers with more reliable protection against modern cyber threats.
