Wiz, Inc. is an Israeli-American cloud security company, founded in January 2020 by Assaf Rappaport, Yinon Costica, Roy Reznik, and Ami Luttwak. Headquartered in New York City, with engineering operations primarily in Tel Aviv, Israel, the company was acquired by Alphabet Inc. (Google Cloud) for $32 billion in March 2026. As of 2025, Wiz, Inc. employed approximately 2,900 people and achieved an estimated annual recurring revenue (ARR) of $750 million.

Wiz, Inc. develops and offers a unified, agentless cloud security platform. This platform is designed to help organizations identify, prioritize, and reduce security risks across various cloud environments, including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, and Kubernetes. Its major product lines encompass Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), Cloud Workload Protection (CWPP), Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), runtime protection, and threat detection and response. The company is notable for its rapid growth and widespread adoption, serving approximately 45% of Fortune 100 companies.

In terms of patent litigation, Wiz, Inc. demonstrates the posture of an operating company defending its intellectual property. The company has been named as a defendant in all four tracked cases, with zero instances as a plaintiff. All recorded cases are before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

Notable cases include challenges brought by Orca Security Ltd. against Wiz Inc. before the PTAB. These cases, occurring in 2025, indicate competitive activity where a rival entity is seeking to challenge the validity of patents associated with Wiz. The company's recent acquisition by Google Cloud highlights its significant position in the cybersecurity market.
