Google’s Acquisition of Wiz

“Both cybersecurity and cloud computing are rapidly growing industries with a vast range of solutions. The increased role of AI, and adoption of cloud services, have dramatically changed the security landscape for customers, making cybersecurity increasingly important in defending against emergent risks and protecting national security,” Google said in a blog post on March 18.

What Wiz Brings to Google Cloud

According to Google, Wiz, headquartered in New York, offers an easy-to-use security platform that connects to all major cloud providers and code environments to help prevent cybersecurity incidents. “Organisations of all sizes — from start-ups and large enterprises to governments and public sector organisations — can use Wiz to protect everything they build and run in the cloud.”

Wiz continues to deliver new products with strong adoption, fueling rapid business growth, including over the last 12 months, during which it has begun to deliver new categories of cybersecurity solutions, Google noted.
