Wiz

Money Moves

Acquired by Google, operating within Google Cloud under its own brand

Wiz was founded in January 2020 by four veterans of Israel's military intelligence Unit 8200. Six years later, Google paid $32 billion in cash to acquire it — the largest deal in Google's history, the largest cybersecurity acquisition ever, and more than the combined cost of Google's eight next-biggest purchases. The deal closed on March 11, 2026, after clearing both United States Department of Justice (DOJ) and European Union regulatory review without conditions. Google had tried once before, offering roughly $23 billion in mid-2024; Wiz walked away and said it would pursue an initial public offering instead. Google came back nine months later and paid 39 percent more.

Acquired by Google for $32 billion in March 2025

ServiceNow just agreed to pay $7.75 billion in cash for Armis, a cybersecurity startup that tracks vulnerabilities across hospital medical devices, factory equipment, and corporate networks. It's ServiceNow's largest acquisition ever—and its third billion-dollar security buy in 2025 alone. CEO Bill McDermott calls it building an "AI control tower" for cybersecurity. Wall Street calls it a land grab.
