"When you say Wiz, you're actually saying Security Graph. The graph database on which the entire company is built has undoubtedly been the most distinctive part of the company from the outset. During a visit to the first edition of Wizdom London, the EMEA version of the company's own conference, we heard how fundamental the graph is to the company and what we can expect from Wiz in the future. One thing is clear, it has a lot of ambition and plans."
"Wiz caught the eye of Alphabet, the parent company of Google. Alphabet bid $23 billion in the Summer of 2024, but Wiz did not want to sell. In early 2025, it had another go at it and bid $32 billion. That was enough to acquire Wiz. If the proposed acquisition is approved, Wiz will become part of Google Cloud sometime in 2026."
Wiz centers its product on a Security Graph, a graph database that models relationships between data points and forms the platform's core. The company launched in 2020 and quickly scaled, aided by enterprises moving to the cloud during the pandemic and by its CSPM capabilities. Wiz raised nearly $1.8 billion across funding rounds and attracted Alphabet's attention, which pursued acquisition bids in 2024 and 2025. A $32 billion bid in early 2025 resulted in a planned acquisition expected to integrate Wiz into Google Cloud in 2026, pending approval. Wiz is known for high performance and a premium price.
