Wiz Backs Away From Acquisition Deal By Google-Parent Company Alphabet

Cybersecurity startup Wiz has decided not to proceed with a reported USD 23 billion acquisition by Google-parent Alphabet and has opted to pursue an initial public offering instead. Wiz offers cloud-based cybersecurity solutions aimed at helping companies detect and eliminate critical risks on cloud platforms, using AI-powered real-time threat detection and response capabilities.

Google’s cloud business, which generated over USD 33 billion in revenues last year, will face a setback as a result of Wiz’s choice to cancel the deal, given the tech giant’s focus on strengthening its cloud infrastructure and attracting new clients.
