Wiz’s CEO, Assaf Rappaport, echoed that sentiment, emphasizing that the acquisition marks not just a milestone for Wiz, but a transformative moment for global security standards.
“Wiz and Google Cloud are fully committed to protecting customers across all major clouds, ensuring they remain safe and secure no matter where they operate,” Rappaport stated. “This acquisition amplifies our mission to fortify security and prevent breaches by leveraging Google’s deep AI expertise and extensive resources.”
A Skyrocketing Valuation and a Game-Changing Acquisition
The $32 billion price tag represents a substantial premium over Wiz’s previous valuations, underlining its meteoric rise in the cybersecurity space. Earlier reports suggested Google was in talks for a deal around $23 billion, but the final sum underscores Wiz’s immense market value and rapid growth trajectory.
Just months ago, in May 2025, Wiz secured $1 billion in funding at a $12 billion valuation, backed by Andreessen Horowitz, Lightspeed Venture Partners, and Thrive Capital. Other investors include Greenoaks, Sequoia Capital, Index Ventures, and Blackstone—some of the most respected names in venture capital.
Google’s Biggest Move Yet in 2025’s M&A Frenzy
The Wiz acquisition surpasses other major deals announced this year, including Constellation’s $26.6 billion purchase of power company Calpine and Sycamore Partners’ $23.7 billion buyout of Walgreens Boots Alliance. With the cloud security market projected to expand exponentially, Google’s strategic move could solidify its supremacy for years to come.
