True story: speed and security in the Devops scale
The true story behind Google acquires wiz How bad is the need for speed is dominated by each DEVOPS Cycles Building Apps, models and platforms without sacrificing security.
Getting WIZ, Google receives an AI-infusted platform for the protection of local applications (CNAPP), designed to eliminate Devsecops difficulties, prevent attacks from and on development models, prevent cloud disorders and large-scale real-time multi-time security. The WIZ CNAPP platform has won a global reputation using AI to improve its threat detection, predictive analysis, automated removal and reduction of fake positives.
WIZ will integrate the detection of Google’s risk, the intelligence of the threat and the automated removal, which are all bets on the protection tables at every stage of the cloudy -based application and the development of a model. This is a solid contribution to the graphic -based graphic engine, designed to find and contain roadways immediately, to prioritize the actual risks and to help the security teams identify and correct vulnerabilities before being operated.
Google pays $ 32 billion in cash signals how urgent the need for Devops speed is wanting AI-Managed CNAPP platform, which can be bent and scales to keep up with more sophisticated Devops cycles.
“While Google Cloud Platform (GCP) invests in built -in CNAPP options for their own platform with success, these tools have focused mainly on the Andras CSer GCP, VP endpoints/assets, and a chief analyst at FormerS
CSer added: “After the early acquisition of Microsoft from 2021 on CloudKnox and Defender for Cloud’s development, Google senses the pressure to offer real, multi-layered CNAPP tool, given that so many organizations today are multi-cloud maintenance.”
Google just do the CNAPP formula 1 of cloud security
In professional competitions, as in Devops, teams obsessed with the leakage of the last ounce of speed profits from their engines or code. Knowing that only a few milliseconds obtained by reducing the dragging of a car formula 1 or making slight engine improvements means the difference between a winning season or not.
CNAPP is one of the DEVOPS and Devsecops engines relying on the risk reduction, blocking penetrations and disorders and providing 360 CI/CD pipeline views to make sure they are sure. The presence of CNAPP, which is controlled AI, provides more accurate removal and directions, contextual intelligence of the threat and attempts to penetrate the penetration of CI/CD pipelines protecting the code.
“While WIZ is most focused on CNAPP, the company’s product proposals have been bleeding in the traditional application security space, such as containers and Kubernetes Security. A position to compete with the applications and other CNORS suppliers that have” shifted up to the left “
Devops teams are under constant, increasing pressure for delivery. With the bonuses that often drive, if a code delivery date is completed, the security is applied at the end of a CI/CD cycle or a product schedule. Venturebeat has learned that the typical IT department of Fortune 1000 has over 175 active, simultaneous Devops projects working at once, with many having no constant security of cloud applications. In other words, these 175 projects work in various unprotected cloud environments without a common CNAPP platform to protect them. This is a threatening of the DEVOPS pipeline, which is a move made to reduce the time to the market, which leaves dozens of projects at risk.
Why Google doubled on wiz
Google’s ambitions for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) development needed a cybersecurity platform that can go from end to end, protect Devops and strengthen Devsecops while using AI to provide real -time threats, automated and cloud security.
The real purpose of this acquisition is to have a single CNAPP solution to provide everything from code to cloud to a time of implementation, ensuring that security no longer slows down development but accelerates it. Risk analysis driven by AI, visualization of the attack path and multi-line security gives GCP a competitive advantage, which makes it a viable competitor in an increasingly crowded market, managed by businesses that need speed, scale and durability in cloud security.

“Google invests strongly in the application security toolkit that protects applications not only in GCP but also in other clouds (and local). Google’s investment in its cloud bumper platform has added a web app functionality. Forester Sandy Carils.
“In recent months, Google has begun to expand its API, Apigee management product, in broader API use cases. Although there are still gaps for filling, the addition of WIZ to the combined cloud bumper, ReCAPTCHA and Apigee is moving closer to the holistics
Google needed a unified AI-firm CNAPP to charge its cybersecurity business. The one who combines security stand, the protection of the load, the advanced detection of threats in a high -performance security engine. Said that there is an approach to security in the past, Google strives now to have an adaptive, flexible platform that can ensure security at the speed of cloud development.
Prior to this deal, the GCP security toolkit was strong, but as evidenced by its chronicle SIEM, Mandiant Threat Intel and a wide variety of partner solutions that create obstacles in the CI/CD pipeline of customers. The acquisition of WIZ ends a large gap in their cybersecurity strategy, providing an integrated AI-managed platform that scans the cloud environment in minutes and identifies the risks in real time.
CNAPP has a quick track with AI Savvy racers
Thehe CNAPP Global Market was estimated at approximately $ 9.79 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $ 38.01 billion by 2030, increasing with a complex annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 21.8% during the estimated period. Gartner notes that the end user calls on CNAPps by 29% since 2023 to 2024, with an emphasis on the control of the cloud security stand (CSPM), led by compliance and easy implementation of the API, with expectations for visibility and control control.
“WIZ Defend’s basic detection and reaction and reaction takes a different approach to detect and respond to the cloud. Instead of relying on built -in opportunities to detect in its own cloud protection tools, it offers a single tool only for detection and response, which accepts AREELAL and makes an engineering to detect them,” says Forster forrer, “Forrest says
“This reduces the volumes of a cloud warning at a critical time. This acquisition will put pressure on other suppliers to consolidate in a similar way – a big profit for the security operations teams,” Melon continued.
The CNAPP market is increasingly becoming Formula One of Cloud Security, such as Google, Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, Crowdstrike and Check Point, keep the fee.
- Check Point CloudGuard: CNAPP solution designed for very cloud security, implementation protection and automated conformity application. Providing cloudGuard agents and no agents helps protect the load, Kubernetes environment and uses without server.
- Crowdstrike Falcon Cloud Security: By expanding from the end -point security to Cloud, Crowdstrike has a threat to a CNAPP intelligence management. Falcon’s cloud security provides code visibility to cloud, IAC scanning and detection of threats to perform, enhance the proactive prevention of violations.
- Microsoft Defender for a cloud: Deeply integrated CNAPP, which extends through Azure, AWS and GCP, offering performance protection, identity security and intelligence managed by AI. With Copilot security, Microsoft uses a generative AI to automate the detection and elimination of the threat.
Other CNAPP suppliers on the market include Aqua Security, LaceWork, Orca Security, Palo Alto Networks, Sentinelone, Sysdig and Trend Micro All, offering cloud security solutions, load protection and validity management.

CNAPP race with AI activated just begins
Google’s decision to make its biggest acquisition in its history says that they see the pain of the slow title processes in businesses, they can quickly become a profitable new part of their cybersecurity business. CNAPP is a racing engine that their prosects and current customers are looking for.
For CISO and security leaders, the key participant is clear: the future of cloud security belongs to platforms that integrate AI, automate risk detection and provide full -stroke visibility in many cloud environments. Whether CNAPP, powered by WIZ, will depend on how well it integrates with Google’s AI movements threat to Google’s intelligence and security.
Lower order: Businesses need AI powered CNAPP solutions to optimize CI/CD security and reduce the weight of cloud security of Devops teams. Competition between provider-to-air suppliers from Google’s WIZ pressure will be won by those who best integrate AI, automate risk detection and provide whole-stack visibility in many cloud environments.
