Google has made a bold move by purchasing Wiz, a well-known cloud security company, for a staggering $32 billion. This is a big step for Google as it works to grow its influence in cloud computing. Wiz specializes in helping businesses keep their data safe across multiple cloud platforms, like Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure, which makes it a valuable addition to Google’s team.
An interesting part of this deal is that Wiz will continue to work independently, even though it is now part of Google Cloud. This means Wiz’s services will still be available to other cloud providers and not limited to Google alone. By joining forces with Wiz, Google hopes to compete more effectively with bigger cloud players like Amazon and Microsoft.
Experts say this deal could make cloud security more advanced and easier to use, especially with artificial intelligence becoming a major part of technology. While the deal still needs approval from regulators, it’s clear that Google is betting big on the future of cloud security. Its clear Googles acquisition of Wizz wasn’t just an acquisition it was a bold statement that Google are building the future of Cyber Security.
