🤑☁️ Stat of the Day: Second time’s the charm? Following a failed purchase attempt last summer, Google yesterday announced it is acquiring cybersecurity startup Wiz for $32 billion. It marks the tech giant’s largest-ever acquisition, and the biggest number paid for a private, venture-backed company in history.

Gee, Wiz: The startup, which offers cybersecurity software for cloud computing, including prevention, active detection, and response, is considered one of the fastest-growing of all time. It hit $100 million in annual recurring revenue 18 months after being launched by four friends in 2020, and sold shares at a $16 billion valuation last summer.

Looking ahead…Google is hoping Wiz’s enhanced security features will help it win more cloud customers in a competitive and fast-growing industry where it has fallen behind Amazon and Microsoft. But first it’ll need to get the deal past regulators, in what analysts are calling the first major test of the Trump admin’s antitrust approach.
