Overview
Wiz is the fastest-growing cybersecurity company in history, building an AI-powered cloud security platform that provides agentless visibility and risk assessment across multi-cloud environments. Founded by Assaf Rappaport, Yinon Costica, Ami Luttwak, and Roy Reznik — the same team that built Microsoft's Cloud Security Group — Wiz connects directly to cloud APIs to scan entire environments in minutes without deploying agents or sidecars. The platform identifies toxic risk combinations that span vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, exposed secrets, identity issues, and data exposure, prioritizing the risks that actually matter. Wiz has achieved unprecedented commercial success, reaching $100M ARR in just 18 months and growing to over $500M ARR. The company serves over 40% of the Fortune 100 and has expanded its platform into runtime protection, code security, and AI security posture management. After famously turning down a $23 billion acquisition offer from Google, Wiz continues to scale as an independent company targeting an IPO.
