Wiz, Inc. builds an agentless cloud security platform that maps an organization's cloud resources, identities, vulnerabilities, and network paths into a graph and highlights the combinations most likely to lead to a breach. The four founders had worked together in the Israel Defense Forces' Unit 8200 and at Adallom, which Microsoft acquired in 2015. Wiz launched publicly in December 2020 with a $100 million Series A and grew quickly in large enterprises. In July 2024 it declined a $23 billion offer from Google, but talks resumed in early 2025 and Alphabet agreed to pay $32 billion in cash. The deal cleared U.S. antitrust review in November 2025 and EU review in February 2026, and closed on March 11, 2026. Wiz now sits within Google Cloud under CEO Assaf Rappaport. The company is headquartered in New York City, New York.
Wiz sells its platform as annual software subscriptions to enterprises and public-sector organizations. Pricing is tied to the size of the cloud estate being protected, such as the number of workloads, and customers can add modules for code scanning (Wiz Code), cloud detection and response (Wiz Defend), and runtime protection. Contracts are sold directly and through the cloud marketplaces of AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. Since March 2026 Wiz's results are reported within Alphabet's Google Cloud segment rather than separately.

Declined Google's $23 billion offer in July 2024, then agreed to the $32 billion sale to Alphabet in March 2025.
Leads Wiz's strategy and led the company through its funding rounds and the sale to Alphabet.
Wiz's main challenges after the acquisition are keeping the trust of customers who run mostly on AWS or Azure now that it is owned by a rival cloud provider, integrating its products with Google Security Operations and Mandiant without slowing its own roadmap, and retaining staff after a large equity payout. It also competes with security vendors that bundle cloud security with endpoint and network products, including Palo Alto Networks, CrowdStrike, and Microsoft.
Assaf Rappaport is the Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Wiz, having led the company since its inception in January 2020.
Rappaport served as an officer in Israeli Intelligence Unit 8200, worked at McKinsey & Company, co-founded Adallom (sold to Microsoft in 2015 for $320M), and served as General Manager of Microsoft's Israel R&D Center.
Rappaport believed Wiz had the momentum to become a standalone, multi-product public cybersecurity powerhouse, choosing independence, long-term equity upside, and an IPO over selling to Alphabet.
Dali Rajic, veteran enterprise sales leader and former COO/CRO of Zscaler and AppDynamics, joined Wiz in early 2024 as President and Chief Operating Officer to scale global go-to-market operations.
The executive team features Assaf Rappaport as CEO, Ami Luttwak as Chief Technology Officer, Yinon Costica as Chief Product Officer, and Roy Reznik as Vice President of Engineering.
Rappaport splits his time between Wiz's global commercial headquarters in New York City and its core cyber engineering campuses in Tel Aviv, Israel.
Rappaport is celebrated for relentless execution speed, extreme customer transparency, informal charismatic communication, and maintaining an intimate startup culture despite hypergrowth.
His experience in Unit 8200 instilled an offensive security mindset: understanding exactly how nation-state hackers exploit complex cloud connections to prioritize real-world defense over theoretical compliance checklists.
