↓ -6%The mergers and acquisitions (MA) market has reportedly remained quiet so far this year as potential dealmakers try to get a sense of the Trump Administration’s stance on antitrust regulation. Year to date, through April 21, the number of deals is down 19%, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported Tuesday (April 22), citing data from LSEG. In February, there was no announcement of a deal valued over $10 billion globally — and that was the first time in 25 months that was the case — the report said
Wiz partnered with the Institute for Critical Infrastructure Technology (ICIT) publishing a report around findings from a survey given to federal and state agencies, highlighting the growing importance of cloud and AI technologies, and concerns around available resources and data protections.
16/04/2025 - AmagisTech today announced a new partnership with Wiz, the leader in cloud security.
Our sources confirm that Wiz will remain an independent platform that will work across all cloud providers, not just Google Cloud Platform.

(GeekWire File Photo / Todd Bishop)Editor’s note: This analysis is written by Christopher Budd, a tech industry veteran who previously worked at the Microsoft Security Response Center.Earlier this month, Google announced plans to acquire Israel-based Wiz for the nearly jaw-dropping price of $32 billion (yes, with a “b”). Not only is this the biggest cybersecurity deal (yet) in terms of money — it’s also another instance of Google swooping in with a very big, open checkbook to snap up a cybersecurity industry leader to fold into the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). This makes it clearer that Google sees security as a competitive differentiator in the cloud and is another step toward Microsoft’s model of integrating cloud and security in-house — and away from Amazon Web Services’ more hands-off strategy of relying primarily on a security partner ecosystem. Google’s move on Wiz is very similar to its acquisition of Mandiant in 2022 when it paid $5.4 billion for arguably the single best known incident response (IR) company in the world. Since then we’ve seen that Google bought Mandiant not because Google wanted to become a player in the IR space but because Google wanted to have some of the best IR capabilities in the world protecting GCP and its customers. Wiz is a leading company in the Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) space. CNAPPs provide a critical security layer to today’s cloud computing. If we look at the Mandiant acquisition as a blueprint, we can surmise that Google plans to take another industry-leading company and focus it on securing GCP.Meanwhile in Redmond, IR and CNAPP are capabilities that Microsoft’s cloud offering has had for years through internal development
