The New York -based Silicon Valley said that the New York -based WIZ purchase confirms its commitment to multiple black solutions, and plans to ensure Wiz remains compatible with Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Oracle Cloud. The announcement of the deal comes just eight months after Wiz rejected a $ 23 billion offer from Google, indicating the desire to become an independent public company.
“Organizations are looking for solutions to cybersecurity that improve cloud security and supply multiple clouds,” Sondar Bishy, CEO of Google, told investors on Tuesday. “WIZ is an innovative cloud safety platform and a leadership that is trusted by more than 50 % of the Fortune 100 companies that already uses its products and services. It continues to provide new products with strong accreditation, and to determine completely new categories.”
This will be the largest purchase of the Cyber Security Company for pure playing, Permarfing Advent and Permira purchase of the 14 billion dollars of consumer in March 2022. it's also the largest deal in the history of Google Raide, 2.20 dollars, or $ 2.20 to buy $ 12.5 billion in 2012. The lowest has been traded since October.
The security platform of Google includes the SIEM capabilities that were developed in the company with Chronicle, which was completed by purchasing $ 500 million for the SOAR SIEMPLIFY provider in early 2022 and received $ 5.4 billion to acquire accidents response and exchange threats in late 2022. WIZ recently obtained an evaluation of $ 12 billion after closing 1 Billion Series En or Endore in May 2024.
Wiz $ 800 million on a pair of acquisitions over the past year, the purchase of cloud detection and the start of the GEM response for $ 350 million in April to address security operations and incident response cases. Then in November, WIZ bought the start of the Application Secology Management for $ 450 million to handle the weaknesses from the code to the cloud. The purchase of Google of Wiz is expected to be closed in 2026 (see: Why Google is looking to buy $ 23 billion from Cloud Security Phenom Wiz).
What Google Cloud and Wiz can achieve together
Join the intelligence of the threat from the AI's Google Cloud with the discovery of Wiz's actual time will give companies more vision in their cloud environments. Wiz companies will help companies reduce operational costs while enhancing their general security position. The deal will provide additional flexibility in how to secure their infrastructure by supporting multiple cloud service providers.
“We believe that Wiz and Google Cloud can accelerate the ability of institutions to improve their security, reduce the cost of doing so, and in the end stimulating the adoption of multiple and cloud computing for customers, partners and industry as a whole,” Bichai told investors on Tuesday. “I am very excited about this advertisement and what it means for the future.”
By integrating Wiz into Google Cloud, the company aims to provide a cybersecurity platform that can prevent, discover and respond threats at each stage of the software development cycle. Google also plans to increase the use of artificial intelligence to discover and investigate security incidents and respond to them with the least amount of human intervention, which will reduce the burden of work on security teams and help companies to act faster.
“Our commitment to a multi -black group means that the new information technology projects that Google Cloud can work with its current Information Technology investments and allow them to choose different sellers for future projects,” Google Cloud, CEO of Google Cloud, told investors. “Customers do not want to hold one seller. They want to use a number of clouds, and we help them every day.”
With the acquisition of Wiz, Corian said that Google's artificial intelligence will be able to scan safety records, discover abnormal cases and determine the priorities of critical threats before the attackers exploit them. Shared artificial intelligence will automate the security response, which reduces the burden of manual work on security teams and enables mitigation faster than violations, while helping companies analyze the trends of electronic attack to predict future threats, and help preparation efforts.
“To help expand the scope of cybersecurity and team security, we will continue to integrate cybersecurity tools that operate Amnesty International to help summarize threats and analyze them for cloud security formations of risks and weaknesses, and an artificial intelligence -backed analysis and the treatment of automatic workflow for self -treatment,” Korean told investors.
What makes the Wiz approach to cloud safety Farid
By buying Wiz, Kurian said that Google enhances its commitment to multi -cloud solutions, ensuring that customers can secure work burdens through multiple clouds without restrictions. This helps clients to choose the best cloud service providers for specific work burdens while maintaining a unified safety mode. Google Cloud said it would expand the safety market for it, which enhances access to safety tools.
“After approaching, Wiz will maintain full support as a multi -fluid solution, and continue to partner with all major clouds, including AWS, Azure, Oracle and others,” Corian told investors on Tuesday. “This continues in our strategy with Google safety operations, which today provides the ability to analyze information and records from all these major clouds and in hypothesis.”
CEO Assaf Rapaport said that the WIZ platform wipes the structure, infrastructure and applications of the Foundation, and drawing potential attack paths and giving priority to the risks based on the influence of the real world. The platform not only defines threats, but also provides implemented visions throughout the life cycle that helps developers and safety teams work together to proactively fix weaknesses.
“The developers are now enjoying the freedom to choose their technology staple and move quickly, and they pay innovation at an unprecedented pace,” Rapaport told investors on Tuesday. “But this agility also broke traditional security models, leaving the institutions at risk. We have taken a new approach, as we created a new model for a modern multi -layer development.”
Bishy said that Google's scratch safety model is used internally and is combined in cloud safety offers, ensuring that every access and limited request is verified based on the context. Although artificial intelligence can enhance the detection of threats and automation of responses, Pachay said it also provides new risks such as artificial intelligence techniques of matter that can be used by infiltrators.
“We protect users and customers who use the same technologies and curricula that we use to fortify our own operations, and we build products with the latest compact security until they are always protected,” said Bishi.
