Google LLC has completed its acquisition of Wiz, a prominent cloud and AI security platform based in New York. Wiz will become part of Google Cloud while keeping its brand and focus on protecting customers across all cloud services.
This acquisition aims to enhance cloud security, allowing organizations to build quickly and securely on any cloud or AI platform. With many businesses and governments moving important data to the cloud and adopting fast software development, cyber attackers are also using AI to operate more effectively.
Wiz offers a user-friendly security platform with deep knowledge of cloud environments, connecting to major cloud services to help prevent and manage cybersecurity issues. Its features strengthen Google Cloud’s capabilities in cloud infrastructure and AI, including tools for AI-driven threat intelligence and security operations. Together, they will create a unified security platform that helps organizations quickly detect, prevent, and respond to threats. It will also help spot new threats created by AI and protect AI models while assisting security teams in identifying threats more efficiently. The platform will deliver a consistent set of tools and policies across various cloud environments, covering all aspects from code to cloud.
This partnership will encourage the use of multicloud security, improving how companies can utilize several clouds and fostering innovation in cloud computing and AI applications. Enterprises and government agencies will significantly enhance their security operations, making it easier and cheaper to implement and manage security measures. The combined platform will also aid small businesses that often lack the resources to protect themselves from sophisticated cyber threats.
In line with Google Cloud’s commitment to openness, Wiz products will continue to operate across all major clouds, such as Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, and Oracle Cloud, and will be available through various partner security solutions. Google Cloud will maintain a wide range of partner security options in the Google Cloud Marketplace, ensuring customer choice.
