Wiz
Cloud security platform providing agentless visibility and risk prioritization across cloud environments, trusted by over 50% of Fortune 100 companies.
Visit WebsiteCompany Overview
Wiz is an Israeli-founded cloud security company that has rapidly become one of the most valuable cybersecurity startups globally. Founded in 2020 by former Microsoft cloud security executives, the company developed an agentless cloud security platform that provides comprehensive visibility into cloud environments without requiring deployment of agents or sensors.
The platform uses graph-based technology to map relationships between cloud resources, identities, configurations, and vulnerabilities, enabling security teams to identify and prioritize the most critical attack paths. Wiz connects to all major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) and scans every layer of the cloud stack, from infrastructure to applications.
Wiz achieved remarkable growth, reaching over $500 million in annual recurring revenue and a valuation exceeding $12 billion. The company is trusted by more than 50% of Fortune 100 companies. In March 2025, Google announced an agreement to acquire Wiz for approximately $32 billion, representing one of the largest cybersecurity M&A deals in history; regulatory closing remained pending through at least January 2026.
