Empowering Secure Innovation in the AI Era
As organizations accelerate cloud migration and adopt generative AI, attackers are leveraging AI for faster, more sophisticated campaigns. Google Cloud’s acquisition of Wiz addresses this dual challenge by combining Wiz’s deep cloud and code context with Google’s AI leadership and infrastructure expertise. The resulting platform provides unified visibility and control across multicloud environments, helping teams detect emerging threats, protect AI models, and use AI to hunt threats more effectively.
The integration enables continuous risk reduction from code to runtime, automatic hardening, and proactive prevention—allowing security to become a catalyst for innovation rather than a bottleneck. Enterprises and government agencies gain scalable, automated controls that reduce implementation costs and empower smaller teams to maintain strong postures.
Commitment to Openness and Multicloud Support
Consistent with Google Cloud’s open ecosystem philosophy, Wiz products will remain available and functional across AWS, Azure, Oracle Cloud, and Google Cloud Platform. Customers retain choice through the Google Cloud Marketplace and a broad partner ecosystem. Wiz’s agentless, API-driven approach continues to deliver seamless connectivity and risk insights without disrupting existing workflows.
Sundar Pichai, CEO, Google: "Keeping people safe online has always been part of Google's mission. This job is increasingly important today, as more companies and governments move their work to the cloud and broadly use generative AI. By bringing Wiz and Google Cloud together, we're making it easier for organizations to innovate with confidence."
Thomas Kurian, CEO, Google Cloud: "We want to make security a catalyst for innovation, not a barrier. With this acquisition, we will deliver a unified security platform that simplifies the complex task of protecting multicloud environments in the AI era, making a strong security posture accessible to more companies and governments."
Assaf Rappaport, Co-Founder & CEO, Wiz: "Joining Google Cloud allows us to scale our mission of protecting customers wherever they operate – at machine speed. We remain committed to our open approach, ensuring Wiz continues to support all major cloud and code environments. With Google's AI leadership and resources, coupled with Wiz's deep context and knowledge of cloud and code environments, we are in a stronger position to help our partners and customers prevent breaches before they happen."
