Google announced the completion of its acquisition of Wiz, a New York–based cloud and AI security platform, which will now operate as part of Google Cloud while maintaining its brand and cross-cloud capabilities.
The acquisition aims to strengthen Google Cloud’s security offerings by combining Wiz’s cloud security platform with Google’s AI-powered threat detection and infrastructure capabilities. The integrated platform will help organizations detect, prevent, and respond to cyber threats across multiple cloud environments, including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle Cloud.
Google said the move is designed to support the growing demand for multicloud security as businesses and governments migrate critical workloads to cloud and AI systems, while also improving cybersecurity automation and protection against emerging AI-driven threats.
