Invested $32 billion: Google officially completes the Wiz acquisition after a year, marking the company's largest deal in history.

On March 11, IT Home reported that Google’s parent company Alphabet announced today that it has completed a $32 billion all-cash acquisition of cybersecurity company Wiz, which will officially join Google Cloud starting today.

This is the largest acquisition in Google’s 26-year history, marking its strategic commitment to enhancing security in the era of cloud computing and artificial intelligence.

Google Cloud stated that in the current context of rapid AI development, the importance of cloud security is increasing day by day. The platform provided by Wiz can help clients protect data security across various cloud services, and its technological capabilities will deeply collaborate with Google Cloud.

“In today’s AI era, an increasing number of enterprises and governments are migrating their most critical data and systems to the cloud and shifting to agile, continuous software development models. As these organizations operate in multi-cloud environments and adopt AI, attackers are also leveraging AI to launch attacks at a faster pace and with more sophisticated methods.” Strategic Intent: Challenge AWS and Microsoft

This acquisition was first announced externally in March 2025, with a transaction amount reaching $32 billion, far exceeding Google’s previous record of acquiring Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion in 2012.

Wiz was founded in 2020 by Assaf Rappaport and three other Israeli entrepreneurs, whose founding team previously sold the cloud security company Adallom to Microsoft for $320 million in 2015. Today, Wiz has become a star company in the cloud-native security field, with its platform helping enterprises identify and remediate security risks in multi-cloud environments.

For Google, acquiring Wiz is a key step in strengthening its cloud business. For a long time, Google Cloud has ranked third globally, following Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure. With the dual demand for AI and cloud security from enterprise customers surging, Google aims to integrate Wiz’s technology to provide enterprises with a safer and more trustworthy AI infrastructure, thereby narrowing the gap with the leaders in the competition.

After the acquisition is completed, Wiz will continue to maintain its multi-cloud service strategy. Google has clearly stated that Wiz’s products will still be offered to clients through competitors’ cloud platforms such as Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure. Wiz CEO Assaf Rappaport emphasized in the company blog, “Our mission remains as bold as ever: to protect everything that various organizations build and operate. And this is just the beginning.”
