MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. and NEW YORK, March 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Google LLC today announced the completion of its acquisition of Wiz, a leading cloud and AI security platform headquartered in New York. Wiz will join Google Cloud and maintain its brand and commitment to securing customers across all cloud environments.
This acquisition is an investment by Google Cloud to improve cloud security and enable organizations to build fast and securely across any cloud or AI platform. In today’s AI era, more businesses and governments are migrating their most important data and systems to the cloud and turning to agile and continuous software development. As these organizations operate in a multicloud environment and adopt AI, attackers are using AI to operate with greater speed and sophistication.
Wiz delivers an easy-to-use security platform with deep expertise of cloud environments and code, connecting to all major clouds and helping prevent and respond to cybersecurity incidents. Its capabilities complement Google Cloud’s leadership in cloud infrastructure and deep AI expertise, including AI-powered threat intelligence and security operations tools.
Together, Google Cloud and Wiz will provide a unified security platform that improves the speed with which organizations can detect, prevent, and respond to threats. It will help them stay ahead of the curve by detecting emerging threats created using AI models, protecting against threats to AI models, and using AI models to help security professionals hunt for threats more effectively. The platform will also provide a consistent set of tools, processes, and policies across all major cloud environments at every layer, from code to cloud to runtime.
The combined capability will also boost the adoption of multicloud security, enhancing companies’ ability to use multiple clouds – further spurring innovation in cloud computing and AI applications. Enterprises and government agencies can vastly improve how security is designed, operated, and automated, scaling cybersecurity teams while lowering the cost of implementing and managing security controls. The combined platform will also help protect small businesses, which often do not have the expertise and resources to protect themselves, from increasingly sophisticated and destructive cyberthreats.
Consistent with Google Cloud’s commitment to openness, Wiz products will continue to work and be available across all major clouds, including Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, and Oracle Cloud, and will be offered through an array of partner security solutions. Google Cloud will also continue to offer customers wide choice through a variety of partner security solutions available in the Google Cloud Marketplace.
