A year after the announcement, Google completes the acquisition of Wiz for $32 billion in cash, after the green light from US (November 2025) and European (February 2026) authorities. Wiz keeps its brand and continues to protect all major clouds.

### Background On 11 March 2026, Google completes the acquisition of Wiz, announced on 18 March 2025 for $32 billion in cash. The deal had received the green light from US antitrust authorities in November 2025 and unconditional approval from the European Commission one month before closing. Wiz joins Google Cloud. ### Key facts - Announced price of $32 billion, all in cash; the largest acquisition in Google's history according to the press. - Wiz keeps its brand and continues to provide security for all major clouds, including AWS, Azure and Oracle Cloud, according to the press release. - Thomas Kurian, Google Cloud chief executive, announces the goal of a unified security platform combining Google's threat intelligence and security operations with Wiz's cloud and AI security platform. - Assaf Rappaport, Wiz chief executive, announces the forthcoming integration of advanced AI capabilities into the platform, including Gemini, which he will detail soon. - According to TechCrunch, Wiz had passed $1 billion in annual recurring revenue in 2025. ### Why it matters The closing removes the uncertainty about Wiz's neutrality: the vendor is meant to stay multi-cloud, but now belongs to one of the three hyperscalers. Customers and integrators using it on AWS or Azure will have to follow the product roadmap and support terms. The deal strengthens Google Cloud's security offer against Microsoft Defender and AWS solutions. ### Takeaway Wiz is at Google: multi-cloud security passes under a hyperscaler's control, with a neutrality commitment to monitor.
