Cloud security provider Wiz announced on Thursday that it has entered into a deal to acquire Dazz, a Israeli startup specializing in security remediation and risk management. <\/span><\/p>\n

The cash-and-share deal is worth $450 million, <\/span>TechCrunch<\/a><\/span> reported, and the acquisition beefs up Wiz\u2019s product portfolio. Earlier this year Wiz launched Wiz Code, a cloud application security product to help security and development teams identify and fix cloud risks directly in code before they become critical issues.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEverything we do is rooted in customer need. Wiz has always been driven by a desire to help organizations actually improve their security posture\u2014not just by reporting risks, but by prioritizing and resolving issues where it matters most,\u201d Wiz CEO and founder Assaf Rappaport wrote on the company\u2019s <\/span>blog post<\/a><\/span> announcing the deal. <\/span><\/p>\n

With the addition of Dazz\u2019s remediation engine, Wiz will now enable security teams to work with data from multiple sources and manage risk in a single platform. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn today\u2019s world, organizations must connect risks across the entire application lifecycle\u2014from code to cloud and on-prem infrastructure. They need tools that prioritize issues with precision and make collaboration effortless. Dazz delivers on this need, simplifying remediation and empowering teams to act quickly and decisively,\u201d Rappaport wrote.<\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier this year Wiz raised $1 billion for strategic acquisitions, and rejected a $23 billion acquisition offer from Google. <\/span><\/p>\n
