Wiz Cloud Security Platform

Wiz is a prominent cybersecurity company specializing in a cloud-native security platform that provides full-stack visibility. It was founded by a team of veterans from the Israeli Defense Forces' Intelligence Unit 8200, who previously established and sold Adallom to Microsoft. The company specializes in identifying risks and vulnerabilities in cloud infrastructure across major providers like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.

Since its inception in 2020, Wiz has seen meteoric growth, becoming one of the fastest-growing software-as-a-service companies in history. While the company maintains significant research and development operations in Tel Aviv, Israel, it is headquartered in New York City to serve a global market. It remains an independent, private company following its decision to decline a multi-billion dollar acquisition offer from Alphabet (Google) in 2024.
