About Wiz
Wiz is a cloud security platform that provides comprehensive visibility and threat detection across multi-cloud environments including AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. The company's platform uses a unique agentless approach to scan cloud infrastructure, identifying vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and threats without requiring software installation on customer systems. Wiz has achieved remarkable growth, reaching $100 million in annual recurring revenue faster than almost any enterprise software company in history.
Founded by former Microsoft executives who previously built and sold Adallom to Microsoft for $320 million, Wiz addresses the critical need for cloud-native security as enterprises rapidly migrate to cloud infrastructure. The platform combines multiple security functions including cloud security posture management (CSPM), cloud workload protection (CWPP), and data security, providing a unified view of cloud security risks. Google reportedly attempted to acquire Wiz for $23 billion in 2024, which would have been the largest acquisition in Google's history.
IPO Status
Google announced the acquisition of Wiz for $32 billion in an all-cash deal, which received EU and U.S. DOJ clearance in late 2025. The deal is expected to close in March 2026, making it one of the largest cybersecurity acquisitions ever. Wiz will become part of Google Cloud while continuing to support all major cloud platforms.
