Google has officially completed its $32 billion acquisition of Wiz, an Israeli cloud and AI security company. This is the largest acquisition in Google’s history. The Wiz team will now join Google Cloud but will continue operating under its own brand and support customers across multiple cloud platforms.
The deal has taken more than a year to close. Google first tried to acquire Wiz in 2024 with an offer of $23 billion, but Wiz CEO Assaf Rappaport declined the proposal. Talks resumed in early 2025, and the companies announced a new agreement worth $32 billion in March 2025.
The acquisition required several regulatory approvals. The U.S. Department of Justice cleared the deal in October 2025. Regulators in the European Union and Australia approved it in February 2026, followed by Singapore and Japan in March 2026. The price also makes it much bigger than Google’s previous record acquisition, the $12.5 billion purchase of Motorola Mobility in 2012.
Wiz has become a major player in cloud security. The company crossed $1 billion in annual recurring revenue in 2025 and expects strong growth in the coming years. Many large companies already rely on its platform, including about half of the Fortune 100.
The platform helps organizations monitor security across their code, cloud infrastructure, and running applications. It also provides a unified view of risks across complex cloud environments.
Wiz has recently added tools to detect AI-related threats. As more companies adopt AI systems, security risks are also increasing. The platform now helps organizations monitor AI applications, detect risks, and protect AI workloads.
With Wiz, Google is strengthening its position in the cloud security market. Google plans to combine Wiz’s cloud security platform with its own security operations and threat intelligence.
The integration will also use Google’s Mandiant security expertise and Gemini AI models to help detect threats faster and improve response.
Wiz will continue to support other major cloud platforms such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Oracle Cloud. This is important because many companies use multiple cloud providers. Keeping the platform open allows Google to retain existing customers and attract more enterprises.
For businesses, the deal could bring stronger security tools for protecting cloud infrastructure and applications. As more companies move critical workloads to the cloud, security becomes a major concern.
Consumers may also benefit indirectly. Many online services store user data on cloud infrastructure. Improvements in cloud security can help reduce the risk of data breaches and cyberattacks.
The acquisition shows Google’s growing focus on cloud computing and cybersecurity. Google Cloud competes with Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure, and security is becoming an important area of competition.
Wiz already has strong enterprise adoption and fast growth. By bringing its technology into Google Cloud, Google aims to build a more advanced security platform for modern cloud and AI environments.
