Google has announced the biggest acquisition in its 28-year history. The $32bn (£23.8bn) price tag for Israeli cyber security firm, Wiz, is more than double the amount that the US tech giant spent on its previous record acquisition, which saw Motorola Mobility acquired for $12.5bn (£9.35bn) in 2012.
Other major Google deals have included familiar brands like the smart home security system, Nest, and the world’s leading video platform, YouTube. But while the latest deal has been in discussion for the last two years, few outside of the tech industry would have heard of Wiz, or know what it does.
