It was going to happen last summer. Then it didn’t. Now it appears to be happening this time. Google’s parent company Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG, GOOGL) is buying cybersecurity software firm Wiz in a deal costing the software tech and advertising company upwards of $32 billion. The acquisition closes one of the largest deals for Alphabet, much higher than its initial proposal of $23 billion in July of 2024, which was not completed.
Wiz, one of the most talked-about names in the world of cybersecurity, is making a significant acquisition to expand its product reach in cloud security, particularly with developers. It is buying Dazz, a specialist in security remediation and risk management, and according to sources familiar with the matter, this is a cash-and-share deal valued at $450 million. The price tag is a tad higher than Dazz’s last valuation, when it raised $50 million on a post-money valuation of just under $400 million.
Cybersecurity startup Wiz Inc. has turned down a takeover bid of as much as $23 billion from Alphabet Inc.’s Google, sticking instead with a plan for an initial public offering. The rejection will come as a blow to Google, which is trying to catch up with Microsoft Corp. and Amazon.com Inc. in an intensely competitive cloud services market.
Google parent Alphabet is in advanced talks to acquire cybersecurity startup Wiz for roughly $23 billion, a person familiar with the matter said on Sunday, in a deal that would represent the technology giant's biggest acquisition ever. The deal, being funded mostly in cash, could come together soon, the source added, speaking on condition of anonymity. Wiz, founded in Israel and now headquartered in New York, is one of the fastest-growing software startups globally, providing cloud-based cybersecurity solutions with real-time threat detection and responses powered by artificial intelligence.
Google is in advanced talks to acquire cybersecurity firm Wiz for $23 billion, The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday, citing people familiar with the matter. If completed, the deal would be Google’s largest-ever acquisition. It would also underline a clear and continued bet on cybersecurity, at a time when nation-state and criminal actors have managed to disrupt governments and large organizations. Google has made large cyber acquisitions before: The company acquired cybersecurity firm Mandiant for $5.4 billion two years ago.
