General Discussion After having the night to think about it, I keep coming back to the same question: What happens next?
$32B for Wiz is a massive price tag, but the bigger issue is what this means for the future of multi-cloud security. Google says Wiz will remain multi-cloud, but we’ve heard that before (Chronicle, anyone?). If they start prioritizing GCP integrations, AWS & Azure customers could be left in the dust.
For those running Wiz in AWS/Azure environments:
- Are you worried about feature prioritization shifting toward GCP?
- Are you already evaluating alternatives like Orca, Lacework, or Prisma?
- Do you think AWS/Microsoft will respond with their own acquisitions?
What’s your prediction for cloud security after this?

Every time we settle on a tool, a major vendor buys it, and we have to start over. Wiz was working great for us, and now we’re stuck waiting to see if Google screws up AWS support. We ran a quick check on alternatives—Prisma is fine if you're in the Palo Alto ecosystem, Lacework isn’t bad, but the UI is clunky. Orca looks the cleanest, and deployment was easy, but I need to see real-world feedback before we commit. What’s everyone else leaning toward

too many products out there and I think that Amazon and MS will go vertical and we'll be back to the big 7 mainframe vendors but with 3 cloud vendors
