Wiz was founded only five years ago but offers an increasingly important cloud-security service as cyber risks grow.

Google has agreed to buy cybersecurity company Wiz for $32 billion, making it the organisation’s largest acquisition to date. The deal, which is expected to happen in 2026 pending regulatory approval, would integrate Wiz into Google Cloud, strengthening its security capabilities in cloud computing and AI.

Google’s agreement to buy cloud security startup Wiz will face antitrust scrutiny amid Alphabet’s ongoing legal battles.
