Wiz was founded in 2020 by Assaf Rappaport, Yinon Costica, Roy Reznik, and Ami Luttwak, a founding team that had previously built and sold cybersecurity company Adallom to Microsoft, entering the cloud security category with an "agentless" scanning approach that lets Wiz assess an organization's cloud infrastructure for security vulnerabilities and misconfigurations without requiring software agents to be installed on every individual cloud workload, a technical approach that dramatically simplified deployment compared to some competing cloud security tools requiring more invasive agent-based installation across an organization's cloud environment. Wiz grew at an extraordinary pace even by the standards of high-growth cybersecurity startups, reaching substantial annual recurring revenue and a very large enterprise customer base within just a few years of its founding, reportedly one of the fastest paths to significant revenue scale of any cybersecurity company in the industry's history, reflecting both strong product-market fit for its simplified cloud security scanning approach and the broader surge in enterprise cloud security spending as organizations have moved increasingly significant workloads to cloud infrastructure. In a landmark 2025 transaction, Google's parent company Alphabet acquired Wiz for approximately $32 billion, one of the largest cybersecurity acquisitions in history, with Wiz continuing to operate and support customers across multiple cloud providers, including AWS and Microsoft Azure, rather than being narrowly restricted only to Google Cloud following the acquisition, reflecting Google's strategic interest in Wiz's technology and customer relationships extending across the broader multi-cloud security market rather than solely as a Google Cloud-exclusive security offering. Wiz had raised substantial private venture funding from investors including Sequoia Capital, Index Ventures, and Thrive Capital prior to its acquisition, reaching a valuation exceeding $12 billion before the Google deal.
