📋About Wiz

Updated August 26, 2026

Wiz is a cloud security company founded in January 2020 by Assaf Rappaport, Ami Luttwak, Yinon Costica, and Roy Reznik — all former Microsoft executives. Google completed its acquisition of Wiz on March 11, 2026 for $32 billion — the largest cybersecurity acquisition in history, surpassing Cisco's $30.2 billion purchase of Splunk.

Wiz's platform provides agentless cloud security scanning across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Oracle Cloud without installing agents. The Security Graph visualizes how risks connect to form attack paths across cloud infrastructure, covering misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, identities, and data exposures with 2,300+ rules and 150+ compliance frameworks.

Wiz crossed in 2025 — reaching faster than any software company in history (18 months). Over 50% of the Fortune 100 are customers. Post-acquisition, Wiz continues operating across all major clouds with its multicloud strategy preserved. Named Forrester Wave Leader for CNAPP (Q1 2026).
