Google announced completion of its acquisition of Wiz. The deal — the largest in the company’s history — sees Wiz join Google Cloud while maintaining its brand.
In the March 2025 8-K that announced the transaction, Alphabet said Google would buy Wiz for $32 billion in cash, subject to closing adjustments.
What Google is getting and what stays the same
That close gives Google Cloud a company it has described as a cloud and AI security platform built to work across major cloud environments. In Google’s release, the company said Wiz will maintain its commitment to securing customers across all cloud environments.
In a separate Google Cloud post, Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud, said Google will retain the Wiz brand and continue supporting multiple clouds, while Wiz’s own customer materials say the company serves 50% of the Fortune 100.
How Google is fitting Wiz into its existing security stack
Google has described the fit around a broader security stack it already had before the acquisition closed.
In its Google Cloud post, the company said its existing security portfolio includes Google Threat Intelligence, Google Security Operations and Mandiant Consulting, while also positioning Wiz as part of its broader Google Unified Security strategy.
The same post said Wiz adds a platform that connects code, cloud and runtime into a single shared context, with security and development teams using that context to remediate risk earlier and security operations teams using it to detect and stop active attacks against cloud workloads.
That product map is the clearest strategic signal in the deal. Google’s March 2025 investor presentation said the combined company would offer a unified security platform for cloud-native applications and would continue support for all clouds, on-premises environments and SaaS applications after close.
Google’s close announcement used similar language, saying the platform will provide a consistent set of tools, processes and policies across major cloud environments at every layer, from code to cloud to runtime.
The multicloud commitment and what it means in practice
The multicloud point matters because Google is not buying Wiz to serve only its own infrastructure. Google said at announcement and again at close that Wiz products will remain available across Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Oracle Cloud.
Assaf Rappaport, co-founder and CEO of Wiz, also said the company would remain committed to its “open approach,” including continued support for “all major cloud and code environments,” a point Google echoed in saying Wiz products will remain available across major clouds.
Wiz’s own environment pages also show existing OCI support, underscoring that the company’s value proposition was already tied to visibility across competing clouds before the acquisition closed.
That multicloud stance also matches the way outside analysts have described the category. In Forrester’s March 2025 analysis of the deal, the firm wrote that “Multicloud CNAPP is indispensable for cloud infrastructure security offerings,” linking Wiz’s appeal to the reality that large enterprises now run across multiple clouds.
The market conditions
The deal lands as enterprise cloud estates remain complex and expensive to manage. Flexera said in its 2025 State of the Cloud report that 83% of respondents were already using or experimenting with generative AI, while 62% of enterprises said they rely on managed service providers for at least some public cloud management, up from 56% a year earlier.
Verizon’s 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report, meanwhile, said third-party involvement in breaches doubled to 30% and that exploitation of vulnerabilities rose 34%, with credential abuse and vulnerability exploitation remaining the top initial access paths.
Those numbers help explain why Google’s messaging around the deal centers on integrated visibility, automation and multicloud consistency rather than on the transaction value alone.
What Google has and has not committed to
Neither the March 11 close announcement nor the Google Cloud post set out specific changes to Wiz pricing, packaging, support terms or product road maps by date.
What the company has said, repeatedly, is narrower but still consequential: Wiz will stay branded as Wiz, it will remain available across major clouds and Google intends to combine Wiz’s cloud and AI security platform with its own threat intelligence and security operations products.
