Wiz customer here, when fully implemented it provides an incredibly detailed and comprehensive view of your infrastructure. I'm curious how much of that information is going to pass between Wiz and Google Cloud product/sales. It's effectively x-ray vision into some huge workloads running on their competitors.

Is this like Darktrace? Apparently the cybersec bigwigs at our company love it, but for me I have to write a detailed explaination why another 'incident report' the clueless cybersecurity guys keep bothering me with is actually nonsense.

  Nope. Darktrace is crap verging on fraud. Wiz actually solves tangible CSPM and runtime issues.

    Can you give an example? Because I'm currently unable to understand the point of this product.

  As a cybersecurity guy... There are a lot of cybersecurity people that really know nothing about actual security and just rely on what their tools tell them. And products like Wiz love to "prove" their value by raising tons of red flags. This is especially true for vulnerability management, which is basically Boy-Who-Cried-Wolf as a Service. The entire CVE ecosystem used to be great, but now it's turned into resume-driven-development where people exaggerate the severity of a vulnerability in order to have a CVSS 9.8 on their resume.

  Wiz got "unconditional" approval from the EU. I think this was the last step holding up the acquisition. https://www.reuters.com/world/google-secures-eu-antitrust-approval-32-billion-wiz-acquisition-2026-02-10/ https://www.reuters.com/world/google-secures-eu-antitrust-ap...
