Alphabet, Google's parent company, has announced its largest-ever acquisition, acquiring cybersecurity firm Wiz for $32 billion.
Wiz, a fast-growing Israeli-founded startup, provides cloud-based cybersecurity solutions and was previously valued at $12 billion.
The deal is pending regulatory approval, and if successful, it will surpass Google's previous largest acquisition of Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion.
Google aims to strengthen its cloud security provisions by incorporating Wiz's expertise and plans to retain Wiz as a multicloud platform.
