Google’s ambitious $32 billion acquisition of cybersecurity leader Wiz has cleared a major regulatory hurdle, advancing the tech giant’s goal of dominating enterprise cloud security. The U.S. Department of Justice approved the deal after an extensive review focusing on potential anti-competitive effects, paving the way for one of the largest tech mergers in recent history. This landmark acquisition signals a significant shift within the competitive landscape of the cloud security market. 2024 saw Google’s initial $23 billion offer rejected by Wiz before negotiations culminated in a revised deal announced in March 2025. The antitrust review process, which commenced in June 2025, concluded with the DOJ approving the merger. This momentous move positions Google to challenge tech behemoths like Microsoft and Amazon, integrating Wiz’s cutting-edge cloud security technology into their platform, potentially reshaping how businesses safeguard their digital assets.
