On March 11, 2026, Google completed its $32 billion all-cash acquisition of Wiz — the largest purchase in Google’s history and one of the biggest deals ever recorded in the cybersecurity industry. Wiz, headquartered in New York, joins Google Cloud while keeping its brand and its commitment to protecting customers across all major cloud platforms.
The deal had been in the works since March 2025. Over that year, Wiz did not pause building — its research team disclosed major vulnerabilities, expanded its AI security platform, and hit a series of product milestones. Now, as a Google Cloud company, Wiz continues to serve customers on AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and Oracle Cloud — all four, without restriction.

In Their Own Words
Direct quotes from the official joint press release, March 11, 2026
“Keeping people safe online has always been part of Google’s mission. This job is increasingly important today, as more companies and governments move their work to the cloud and broadly use generative AI. By bringing Wiz and Google Cloud together, we’re making it easier for organizations to innovate with confidence.”
“We want to make security a catalyst for innovation, not a barrier. With this acquisition, we will deliver a unified security platform that simplifies the complex task of protecting multicloud environments in the AI era, making a strong security posture accessible to more companies and governments.”
“Joining Google Cloud allows us to scale our mission of protecting customers wherever they operate — at machine speed. We remain committed to our open approach, ensuring Wiz continues to support all major cloud and code environments. With Google’s AI leadership and resources, coupled with Wiz’s deep context and knowledge of cloud and code environments, we are in a stronger position to help our partners and customers prevent breaches before they happen.”
Closed at $32 Billion — Cloud Security’s New Chapter
This piece covered the completion of Google’s $32 billion acquisition of Wiz on March 11, 2026 — a deal that cleared U.S. antitrust review in November 2025 and received European Commission approval in February 2026. The Wiz brand, its multicloud product coverage, and its partner ecosystem were discussed as continuing unchanged. Official statements from Sundar Pichai, Thomas Kurian, and Assaf Rappaport from the Wiz blog and Google’s announcement were included.
Key security research milestones from the past year — including RediShell (CVSS 10.0), NVIDIAScape (CVSS 9.0), CodeBreach, and the Moltbook database exposure — were outlined based on Wiz’s own published disclosures. Product developments including WizOS, Wiz Exposure Management, and AI Security Agents were noted as part of the pre-acquisition build period.
