Google Completes Record $32 Billion Acquisition of Wiz, Revolutionizing Cloud Cybersecurity

Google has officially closed its historic $32 billion cash acquisition of Israeli cloud cybersecurity startup Wiz.

This deal, the largest in Google's history, was finalized on March 11, 2026, after overcoming significant regulatory scrutiny.

Deal Evolution: From $23B Rejection to $32B Triumph

In 2024, Wiz CEO Assaf Rappaport rejected an initial $23 billion offer, confident in the company's explosive growth potential.

Talks reignited in early 2025, culminating in the March announcement of the elevated $32 billion agreement.

U.S. antitrust regulators greenlit the acquisition in November 2025 after thorough probes.

European Union approval followed in February 2026, paving the way for completion.

With over $1 billion in annual recurring revenue achieved in 2025, Wiz excels in AI-powered threat detection across multi-cloud setups.

Wiz integrates into Google Cloud while preserving its brand and multi-cloud support for platforms like AWS and Azure.

Google emphasized this move as key to fortifying security in AI and hybrid cloud environments.

The partnership targets escalating vulnerabilities from AI-driven attacks, code flaws, and runtime threats.

Future innovations promise a unified platform for rapid threat mitigation, reshaping enterprise security.
