Wiz Joins Google: Six Extraordinary Years of Bold Vision and Dazzling Impact
Wiz’s acquisition by Google is a milestone for an exceptional company—and a deeply meaningful one for a founding team that has spent years reimagining what cloud security could be. From day one, Assaf, Roy, Ami, and Yinon built with rare conviction, speed, and trust, proving that you can be both technically uncompromising and deeply human at the same time.
Wiz holds a special place for us at Index: these founders have been longstanding partners, remarkable leaders, and constant sources of energy and inspiration. To the Wizards of past, present and future, heartfelt congratulations—you’ve built something truly magical, and this moment is only the beginning.
"Shardul is more than a board member—he's a close friend. And honestly, we wouldn't have built Wiz the way we did without him and the Index team. They became a true extension of us at every stage, pushing us beyond every limit so we could move at a pace that still feels unbelievable."
