About Wiz
Wiz sells a security platform that connects to cloud accounts and code environments to find and fix risks. Google described it in March 2025 as a New York-headquartered company whose cloud-native application protection platform serves organisations of all sizes, including governments. Since 11 March 2026 it has been part of Google Cloud, and its own site says the mission is to secure cloud and AI environments across all major clouds.
Assaf Rappaport, Ami Luttwak, Yinon Costica and Roy Reznik founded Wiz in 2020. Globes reported that the team had earlier founded Adallom, which Microsoft bought for $320 million in 2015, and then led Microsoft's Cloud Security Group. Rappaport is chief executive and Luttwak chief technology officer. Costica leads product and Reznik research and development, and the company page also lists Adi Leist Sharon as chief business officer and Anthony Belfiore as chief operating officer.
The platform is organised around Wiz Code, Wiz Cloud and Wiz Defend, and the company has added AI agents for penetration testing, alert investigation and remediation. Wiz says 65 percent of Fortune 100 companies are customers. Google named Salesforce, Slack, DocuSign and BMW as customers in 2025.
Wiz bought Gem Security in April 2024, in a deal sources told Fortune was worth about $350 million, and Dazz in November 2024 for a reported $450 million.
Wiz emerged from stealth in December 2020 with a $100 million Series A from Index Ventures, Sequoia Capital, Insight Partners and Cyberstarts. It raised $250 million at a $6 billion valuation in October 2021, $300 million at $10 billion in February 2023 and $1 billion at $12 billion in May 2024, the last led by Andreessen Horowitz, Lightspeed and Thrive Capital. TechCrunch reported annual recurring revenue of $500 million in November 2024.
Google's reported $23 billion offer in 2024 was declined. In March 2025 it announced an all-cash purchase for $32 billion. TechCrunch reported that US regulators approved it in November 2025 and the European Union in February 2026. Google said Wiz would keep working across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and Oracle Cloud.
