What the hell is "Wiz"? Some nobody company that was formed G might be the modern day IBM. You would think G would have the brain power to compete and provide out of the box security for their own platform. I guess the MBA losers at the top have been shaving too much from engineering to do this properly. The acquisition hiring in big tech is wild to me. And the consolidation of power into a few companies continues.

> What the hell is "Wiz" Just because your ignorant about significant portions of the tech industry doesn't mean you need to be dismissive.

I’m just curious if anyone here has actually heard of this company before this announcement? If you have, what is your opinion on this acquisition?

Wiz is used by 45% of Fortune 500 companies and you're thinking someone is making up that they used it? This is unnecessarily mistrustful / conspiracy thinking. What censorship btw?

People working in cloud environments or cybersecurity absolutely have heard of Wiz. Working in a company adjacent to Wiz, I’ve encountered many organizations working with it. Don’t project your lack of knowledge onto others.
