Google's parent company, Alphabet, is in advanced discussions to acquire Wiz, a cloud cybersecurity startup, for around $30 billion. This follows a previous attempt last summer to finalize a deal at a $23 billion valuation that fell through. Wiz's annual recurring revenue is projected to reach $1 billion by 2025, making it an attractive target for Google Cloud. Regulatory challenges and integration disagreements previously stalled negotiations. As M&A activity increases, this deal reflects a changing landscape under new regulatory leadership.
