Google Closes $32B Wiz Deal — CNAPP Meets AI Cloud Attach
Google completed its $32 billion acquisition of Wiz (March 11): CNAPP into Google Cloud’s AI-era security story, brand and multi-cloud focus retained. One of Google’s largest deals — consolidation bet that securing AI workloads is infrastructure, not a feature checkbox. Regulatory/data-handling review still on customers.
Cloud security M&A used to be about misconfig scanners. Google’s proprietary frame for Wiz: pay megacap money for CNAPP because AI workloads made multi-cloud posture strategic infrastructure — and keep Wiz multi-cloud so the install base does not bolt.
