Search GOOGLE Google closes $32B deal for cybersecurity firm Wiz Largest acquisition in Google's history finalized Boosts cloud and AI security as workloads expand Play Stock video by julientromeur via Pixabay March 15, 2026 at 12:36 PM GMT-4 Google Finalizes Record-Breaking Acquisition of Cybersecurity Firm Wiz Google closed its $32 billion acquisition of cybersecurity company Wiz this week. The transaction represents the biggest acquisition in Google's history, as well as the largest ever acquisition of a venture-backed startup. An investor from Index Ventures, the largest shareholder in Wiz, discussed the deal on a technology podcast. The investor noted that Wiz operates at the convergence of three major industry trends: artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and security expenditure. These areas are considered central in the current technological landscape where securing workloads is paramount. The investor expressed strong confidence in the company's founding team, having previously backed an earlier venture started by the same executives. The initial contact for the Wiz investment occurred on a personal call made by a founder, with the investor joining the board during the seed funding stage. When asked about the magnitude of the transaction, the investor suggested it should be considered a landmark deal for the year or even the decade, rather than just the week. The investor highlighted the company's strategic position and the founding team's decision-making history as key factors in its appeal as both an investment and an acquisition target.
