\nGoogle has officially acquired Israeli cybersecurity firm Wiz for $32 billion in cash, a full year after the companies announced the deal. This marks Google\u2019s biggest acquisition in its history.<\/p>\n

Wiz provides a security platform that protects major cloud environments by preventing and responding to cybersecurity threats. While the company will join Google Cloud, it will maintain its brand and commitment to securing customers across all cloud environments, the company said.<\/p>\n

The deal comes after Wiz crossed $1 billion in ARR in 2025, according to a source familiar with the matter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Google initially approached Wiz in 2024 with an offer to buy the startup for $23 billion. Wiz walked away from that offer. Its CEO Assaf Rappaport said, at the time, that he felt the business could grow to be a lot bigger than that.<\/p>\n
