Google’s deal to buy Israel’s Wiz: shaping cyber resilience for AI-native infrastructure and curbing China’s “everything, everywhere, all at once” doctrine

On March 18, 2025, it became known that Alphabet, the parent company of Google, had resumed negotiations to buy the Israeli cybersecurity company Wiz.

The offer is worth $33 billion, $9 billion higher than the previous offer in 2024, and could be the basis for Alphabet’s largest M&A deal in its history.

The agreement between Wiz and relevant U.S. private entities on cybersecurity is strategically important in the face of the growing threat from Chinese state-sponsored hacking groups such as Volt Typhoon.
