Google is making the biggest acquisition in its history. The company's parent company Alphabet is buying Wiz, the cloud security startup, for $32 billion

Google has announced it will acquire cloud security startup Wiz. If completed, the acquisition — an all-cash deal valued at $32 billion — would mark the largest in Google's history.

Google has now spent close to $40B trying to become a security player. This is a serious vertical for them – likely changing the shape of the company forever. Wiz nailed usability and had a maniacal focus on sales – $100M in 18 months, $350M in 2024, and an estimated $700M at acquisition.”

Google’s $32B Wiz acquisition raises questions on strategy, AI competition, and cloud dominance as investors react skeptically to the record deal.

Google plans to acquire cybersecurity company Wiz for $32 billion in what would be the search giant’s largest-ever acquisition.

When Assaf Rappaport, Ami Luttwak, Yinon Costica, and Roy Reznik were riding a bus to their Israeli army base nearly a decade ago, they weren’t just swapping stories. They were shaping what would become one of the biggest exits in venture capital history.
