Google is reportedly in advanced negotiations to acquire the cybersecurity firm Wiz for $23 billion, as per sources cited by the Wall Street Journal.
This acquisition, if finalized, would mark Google's largest to date.
Wiz, a cloud security startup based in New York City, was founded in January 2020. Its platform scrutinizes computing infrastructure hosted on AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, and Kubernetes to identify risk factors that could enable malicious actors to seize control of cloud resources or exfiltrate valuable data.
