(JNS) — Google completed its $32 billion acquisition of cybersecurity firm Wiz on March 11, representing the largest exit in Israel’s tech history and the biggest acquisition yet by Google.
The New York-based company, founded in 2020 by Israeli entrepreneurs Assaf Rappaport, Ami Luttwak, Yinon Costica and Roy Reznik, will join Google Cloud while maintaining its brand and continuing to secure customers across multiple cloud platforms.
“By bringing Wiz and Google Cloud together, we’re making it easier for organizations to innovate with confidence,” said Google CEO Sundar Pichai.
Rappaport, co-founder and CEO of Wiz, emphasized that joining Google Cloud “allows us to scale our mission of protecting customers, wherever they operate, at machine speed.”
Headquartered in New York City, Wiz employs about 1,800 people worldwide, including roughly 1,000 in Israel, where most of its engineering team is based in Tel Aviv.
The deal, first announced in March 2025, strengthens Google’s cloud security capabilities as it competes with rivals such as Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure amid growing demand to protect cloud and artificial intelligence systems.
