Google has announced its intention to buy WIZ specializing in cloud security for $ 32 billion. After the WIZ transaction is completed, it will become part of Google Cloud. This was reported in the relevant Google press release.
Wiz, founded in 2020, quickly established itself as a leader in cloud safety, serving large companies such as Microsoft and Amazon. Its innovative solutions allow you to show vulnerability in cloud operations and maintain a multi -dih -masonry environment, which made Wiz an attractive asset for Google.
WIZ attracting Google Cloud aims to significantly improve the development, operation and automation of security systems. Google also seeks to scale their cybersecurity teams, reduce customer costs for the implementation and management of security controls, and provide reliable protection against new threats that arise through the development of artificial intelligence. This acquisition is expected to help stimulate further innovations in the area of cloud computing.
At the same time, the agreement is still subject to regulatory bodies, as Google is already in contact with antitrust investigations in search engines and digital advertising. Companies expect that the regulators will become known in 2026.
