A group of former Israeli military officers stand to make billions from Google’s $32 billion purchase of their startup.

Google, LLC acquired cybersecurity startup Wiz Inc. for $32 billion Tuesday, capping off a rollercoaster ride of "will they, won't they" that began last July when a $23 billion offer from the search giant's parent company, Alphabet, Inc., fell through.

Google clinched a deal for its biggest-ever acquisition, announcing it will buy cloud-security platform Wiz for about $32 billion in cash. The acquisition of Wiz is expected to close in 2026, subject to usual closing conditions including regulatory approvals, according to Google. Once closed, New York-based Wiz will join Google Cloud.
