Google has finalized its acquisition of Wiz, a US cloud and AI security platform, in a move aimed at strengthening Google Cloud’s security capabilities amid growing multicloud and AI adoption.
The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Wiz brand will not be retired and it continue to provide security solutions across major cloud environments including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud, and Google Cloud Platform.
The acquisition comes as organizations increasingly migrate critical data and applications to the cloud and rely on AI for business operations. Cloud security risks are escalating, with attackers leveraging AI to launch faster and more sophisticated cyberattacks.
Wiz’s platform, known for its ease of use and deep cloud expertise, complements Google Cloud’s infrastructure and AI-powered security tools. The combined platform aims to help organizations detect, prevent, and respond to threats faster, including attacks targeting AI models. It also seeks to make multicloud security more accessible, reducing the operational burden and costs for enterprises, governments, and small businesses.
“Keeping people safe online has always been part of Google’s mission,” said Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google. “By bringing Wiz and Google Cloud together, we’re making it easier for organizations to innovate with confidence.”
Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud, added: “We want to make security a catalyst for innovation, not a barrier. This acquisition will simplify protecting multicloud environments in the AI era, making strong security accessible to more companies and governments.”
Assaf Rappaport, co-founder and CEO of Wiz, said the partnership with Google Cloud would enable the firm to scale its mission of protecting customers “at machine speed,” while maintaining its open approach across cloud and code environments.
The integration underscores Google Cloud’s strategy to expand AI-driven security offerings and reinforce multicloud adoption, supporting faster, safer innovation across industries.
