Washington. Google has signed a deal to buy cyber security company Wiz (Cyber Security Company Wiz) for $ 32 billion (about 2.6 lakh crore rupees). The deal is the biggest acquisition in Google's history, which is larger than the $ 12.5 billion acquisition of Motorola Mobility in 2012. The deal will also be the largest acquisition in the cyber security sector. The deal is done when discussions are going on to divide Google's Internet Empire. The deal was announced on March 18, 2025.
The move is part of the expansion in Google's cloud computing area, which is increasing rapidly due to the increasing influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The demand for data centers for AI is increasing, and the competition between Google, Microsoft and Amazon has intensified in this sector.
So wiz will become part of Google Cloud
If this deal is approved by regulators, Wiz will become part of Google Cloud. Google Cloud is different from Google's main business (search and advertisement). Google's original company Alphabet is the main source of $ 350 billion annual revenue. However, with the arrival of AI, Cloud Division has become an important part for Google. In 2022, this division's revenue was $ 26.3 billion, it increased by 64% to $ 43.2 billion in 2024.
5 year old startup company
Wiz is a 5 -year -old startup company, founded by four friends found in the Israeli army. The company began in Israel in 2020 and now makes a tool to protect the information stored in the data center from New York. WIZ aims to earn $ 1 billion this year. Wiz's CEO Asaf Rappaport said both Wiz and Google Cloud believe that cloud security needs to be made easy, accessible and intelligent, so that more organizations can use cloud and AI safely.
What did Pichai say on the deal
Google's CEO Sundar Pichai said that the involvement of Wiz will further safety of Google Cloud and will also reduce the cost. This statement has been given keeping in mind both regulators and customers. Google had been trying for a long time to buy Wiz. After rejecting the proposal of $ 23 billion in July last year, Wiz had planned the IPO (being listed in the stock market), but the IPO market cooled down due to stock market fluctuations.
Warning for Microsoft and Amazon
Analysts say that Google's move is a warning for rivals such as Microsoft and Amazon. The Google was lagging behind in the cloud region, but the acquisition of WIZ could change this competition.
