Google has finalized its purchase of Wiz, a cloud and AI security platform, for $32 billion to enhance its cloud security capabilities. The integration of Wiz into Google Cloud will maintain the brand and customer support across various cloud environments. Wiz offers a security platform that monitors cloud environments and software code to detect vulnerabilities and address potential threats.
The collaboration between Wiz’s technology and Google’s cloud infrastructure and AI tools aims to create a unified security platform to help organizations swiftly identify, prevent, and respond to cyber threats. This platform will assist in identifying new risks from AI models, safeguarding AI systems against attacks, and using AI to aid security professionals in spotting potential breaches.
Wiz products will continue to be accessible on major cloud platforms like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud, and Google’s services. Noteworthy clients of Wiz include Shell, BMW, LVMH, Morgan Stanley, and Salesforce, with about half of Fortune 100 companies using its technology.
Google initially proposed acquiring Wiz in 2024 for $23 billion, which was declined. However, discussions were reignited in early 2025, leading to the $32 billion acquisition announcement in March of the same year. The transaction received regulatory approval from authorities in the United States and the European Union after antitrust reviews, with U.S. approval in November 2025 and EU approval in February 2026.
