Google has finalized its acquisition of Wiz, an Israeli cybersecurity firm, for $32 billion, marking the largest tech deal in Israel's history. The acquisition, announced on March 11, 2026, allows Google to enhance its cloud security offerings and better serve government and enterprise customers operating in multicloud environments. Wiz will continue to operate under its own brand while integrating its services with Google Cloud. This deal comes after initial negotiations in 2024, where Google offered $23 billion, which Wiz rejected.

With the rise of AI and cloud computing, the partnership aims to address evolving cybersecurity threats. Wiz's platform will support customers across major cloud providers, including AWS and Microsoft Azure.
