"The tech giant is set to complete its $32 billion acquisition of Israeli cybersecurity company Wiz this week, bringing to a close one of the largest deals ever involving an Israeli technology company. First announced in March 2025, the transaction will mark the largest exit in Israel's high-tech industry."
"Regulators in the United States ultimately determined that the acquisition would not harm competition, instead concluding that bringing Wiz into Google's cloud ecosystem could actually strengthen competition against the dominant cloud providers in the market, being Amazon's AWS and Microsoft's Azure."
"European regulators also approved the transaction without imposing restrictive conditions. They concluded that customers would continue to have the flexibility to switch between different cloud security vendors if needed, reducing concerns about market concentration."
